Well maybe I don't have a good email for him or soemthing. Do me a favor and send him a message in your game and ask him to check the thread here.

You have the right email address, my sending server is having problems right now. I have intermittent failure to communicate (love the movie) with recipient servers, especially the likes of AOHell, Yahoo, Hotmail, and other such freebies. I am working on the issue and WILL get it resolved. Until then, know that I receive your emails, you just don't always receive my replies.

BTW - I am not only in the game, but I was the first to upload my turn!!

Put on your steel-toe boots and lace 'em all the way up. My little guys are hungry. Best of luck to all and have fun!

To all game players: I’ll be unable to process turns from Friday till Monday afternoon (I’ll be at Dragon*Con all weekend).

Oh man, for so long to get so few turns done...

It's turn 4 and I have found that I have the homeworld of a different empire one system away from each of my three homeworlds. I don't think they know just how crowded this corner is, but they'll figure it out as soon. There are four of us packed into this one corner.

What exactly is the protocol on requesting, suggesting, or pursuing the restart of a game?

Well, my official position on restarts is that restarts suck. I prefer to always go with the cards dealt and make the best of things. And I adhere to this consistantly even when my own starting position is piss poor.

Perhaps if you impress upon your neighbors the advantage to all of peaceful cooperation, at least for a while.

That being said I guess if you can make a suficent case for a restart and a large number of people are wanting one we could do it. The earlier in the game the better.

Peace is peace, but lack of expansion is Death.

Sorry, I posted that I would stick with the game even without a restart in the post I made in the PBW forum, but neglected to mention that here.

Still, if anyone else is in favor, I would be most enthusiastic. Perhaps, with a weekend coming up, we could catch up on the four turns we've done so far in a matter of hours.

Ok, I just sent this out as an email to everyone:

Quote:
Players,

Ok, looks like this game has got bit by the "cram half the empires in
one corner" bug. We have a request to restart the game. Personally I
don't like restarts, but I can understand the desire for everyone to have
a decent shot at survival in the game. What I am going to do is take a
poll. I want everyone to reply to this question:

"Should we restart the game using a randomly generated map modified
with approximatly evenly spaced non-specific starting positions?"

Everyone please vote "Yes please", "Please don't", "Don't care", or
"Definetly not, and if you restart I'll be forced to withdraw from the
game".

We have twelve players in the game. If we get at least nine votes of
"Yes please" or "Don't care", no more then three votes of "Please don't",
and no votes of "Definetly not" we will do the restart. I don't want to
lose anyone either way.

Geoschmo
I'll keep a tally. If you want your vote kept confidential I will do so.
