A PBW game for three

[Rubinski]

I would like to play a three player PBW game. Large amounts of players just slow down the game as you wait for others players. Turn duration will be 24 hours but would like a fast pace game. I am thinking a medium galaxy with computer neutral empires and conditions as follows. All conditions are not set in stone but one, no applied intelligence.

I'm interested because of the fast turns. However I would suggest no neutral AI, maybe 3-4 regular AI, the tougher ones from the TDM Modpack.

I'm also thinking about a 3-4 player marathon game, where turns are processed every two hours. (at night the host can postpone the next turn till next day). Small galaxy with about 40 systems, game should be over in 3-4 days.

How does that sound?

I would be interested in playing your game. I work day/afternoon shift. This week I will be on day shift. 7:00am to 2:30pm PDT zone, so would be available.

So far I haven't had a lot of luck with other players shipsets. May be something I am doing wrong or maybe not. I haven't tried the mod but am willing to give it a try.

I still wish to try my game as I have a few ideas I would like to try out.

I will be watching for game.
