Well, I guess the title says it all. For more info on Stars!: this.

Turn limit shall start at 48h

Host for this game is Serefan, email will follow, you can either email or upload your turn file ('Gamename.x#' where # is your player number).

At the start of the game, everyone will receive the files he needs via Serefan, just paste these into your Stars! folder.

Everyone who wishes to participate should perform any 4 of the following 5 actions:

- Post your own race, protected with password, or send it to the host, also protected with password. The race, that is, not the file.
- Vote for any number of options as stated below.
- Send a blank bearer cheque to an anonymous adress in Europe which will be specified to you by PM, if you choose this option.
- Make sure you own a full version of Stars! 2.6 or 2.7.
- Post here and say hi.

Spoiler: options (click to show/hide)

- Universe size (Tiny, Small, Medium <1>, Large, Huge) <3 for large/huge>
- Density (Sparse, Normal <2>, Dense <1>, Packed <1>)
- Player Positions (Close, Farther, Moderate <3.5>, Distant <0.5>)
- Galaxy Clumping (Yes <3> or No <1>)
- Winning Condition(s) (Owns 60% of planets, Attains tech 22 in 4 fields, Exceeds a score of 11,000, Exceeds second player score by 100%, Has a production capacity of 100,000, Owns 100 capital ships, Has the highest score after 100 turns, Only by submission <4>)

I recommend the default options actually, plus galaxy clumping. And size has to be big and will depend on number of players, ofc.

Players:
- Me (Duh)
- Serefan
- Zorgn
- Rysith
- Il Palazzo
- I Hate Outside
- Shades

Myes, hosting it is. Email is in my profile. Hope people are interested here.

For the turn limit, I'll email the new turns as soon as I've received everyone's turn, and before entering this make sure you are able to answer with your completed turn within 48 hours, preferably 24 hours, more preferably within 15 minutes.

As said, first send your races, next I'll send you every file you need, this is the galaxy file with .xy, and your personal turn file, with .mN (with N the player number).

From then on, every turn, only thing I need to receive from the players is the .xN file, with N the player number, and you'll receive a .mN file from me again.

I'll be joining this shortly. I loved this game back when the company was still in business.

[Serefan]

I'd suggest removing all victory conditions. Just total annihilation of the other races.

Also, Eagle, put a list of the players in the first post. I'll be player 1, you 2, Zorgn 3, and continue the list when more players arrive. I'll be needing that to remember what file to send to whom.

And we can use this thread to mock each other while playing.

Too bad you can't host and be all-knowing of every player without entering the game yourself. I'd be able to tell a spoilerfree story of goings on ingame.

[Rysith]

I'm in.

I'd vote for no official vitory conditions but the option of submission. Packet Physicists and Space Demolishers can both make it aggravatingly annoying if you're forced to clean every last one of their planets off.

Other options:

- Universe size (Tiny, Small, Medium, Large, Huge depending on number of players)
- Density (Sparse, Normal, Dense, Packed)
- Player Positions (Close, Farther, Moderate, Distant)
- Galaxy Clumping (Yes or No)

[Serefan]

Most primary racial traits can be a pain in the ass when played correctly. The point is knowing what other players are as fast as you can, and then adapting your strategy accordingly.

I talk out of experience, eh Eagle.

I suggest we can use this thread to tell the story of our own races, for the people that would want to. Alas, that will be difficult if you don't want to give information to other players.

Also, Rysith, your option of submission sounds interesting. Even though I think there will always be players who fight till the last Smaguarian Peeping Tom.

[Serefan]

Yeah, I believe there's a resign button somewhere in the game. Or you could go suicidal and ram your fleets into Death Stars (if anyone has any).

Also, important note, if someone can't join the game for a while it offers an option to put the player on standby. This makes you AI controlled, although quite pacifist, but all your resources and research are still managed and such.

[Il Palazzo]

OK, I'm in.
As for the settings: medium galaxy, normal density, moderate distance, no clumping, no winning conditions.

[Serefan]

Everyone's saying they're in, but I haven't received any emails as of yet.

Eagle, could you resend your racefile too? Just to be sure.

[Il Palazzo]

I'll send you mine as soon as I'll decide on what I want to play as. Couple hours tops.

[Serefan]

No problem, I bet Eagle wants to wait for more players anyway.

Also, it's friday today, that means within a few hours I won't be able to do anything for this game anyways, cuz I'm going out.

EDIT: Palazzo's tentacle rape race received, working with my version 2.70i.

[Rysith]

I've got a general race design picked out, but I'm not going to be able to actually generate the race file until the next time I restart my computer (hooray 16-bit apps!), so I should have it in tonight.

[Serefan]

Yeah well, the game isn't going to start for at least tomorrow anyways. EagleV's not online anywhere, and I'm gone in an hour or two for today too.

Stop blatantly showing off your implied social life! There are nerds here, you know...
