My email is still being fixed (by me) so I will cast my vote here.

It was a medium map actually. Appears to be around 70 systems. That could be sufficent for 12 players if the spacing were better. Aparently one player is in a corner and has three empires around him all within a one system distance.

If we restart I'll gen a map of around 100 systems and have someone place common starting points.

It's kind of funny, actually. The first guy I met said something like "Well this could be nice, we'll divide this corner between the two of us." Then I met the other two, bordering my other two homeworld systems.

I doubt any of them have met each other, if fact, a couple probably aren't even aware they're met me yet (haven't uploaded their turns yet), but they'll meet each other real soon.

I don't really mind my position too much. Yeah, a bit cramped but I have a fairly good choice of planets (set down on 3 various sizes of breathables already). I've popped into 2 people's home systems (one of them Loser's) already. So, yes, I'm one of the people around him.

So, how do I vote? I guess a "don't care" will suffice even though I do care...I just don't care enough to argue about it. Just figuring what has happened in other restarts I've been in, I'll get positioned beside nebulas and empty systems.

PS: With 12 slots, it's highly impractical 4 turns can be accomplished in several hours. After all, it's taken nearly 14 days to do 4 turns (and though I was gone over this past weekend, the game wasn't ready to run when I returned, so it wasn't me holding it up).

well perhaps it will affect the long term outcome but creating another game just screws some other players.

I am in the 'Don't Care' mode and will take what cards I am delt

I'll go with the majority as stated, however, I would mention that the intent of the game is to explore a game with the smaller ships. If the game turns into an early slugfest, it will not be much different from a standard game.

That's what I'm saying!

Not that I'm at all impartial here. But yeah, what he said.

Ok, by my accounting so far everybody has either voted Yes or Don't care. But I still have not heard from Joachim or Krsqk. Please let me know guys.

I don't care.

Should have checked the forum a little more carefully, I guess.
