    The rules have been finalised!
    We play on the map attached, each player may claim one of the central islands.

    OVERVIEW:
    Every player is landlocked in the middle of a 3x3 map. The islands have great potential, but fungus must first be cleared.
    The map is very very small, but no-one can fight until land is raised.

    Bug exploits are allowed IF:
    1. They do not alter any other faction (e.g. F4 screen bug)
    2. They are only builder applications
    The Reload bug is allowed for fungal pops before any faction is in striking range of any other faction.
    Players are deemed in striking range if:
    1. Air Superiority is discovered
    2. Any land is raised or lowered
    This is to prevent fortune from striking down an unlucky player.

    The Rules:
    All victories enabled
    Do or die
    Bell Curve
    Zero unity pods
    Transcend difficulty level.

    Custom in-game rules:
    All 14 factions are fair game.
    All factions start with their starting tech, an extra tech, a scout patrol, a colony pod.
    Uni gets a second extra tech, ChaDawn gets MWs, Spartans get a Rover.
    Energy Credits are 10 per faction, except Morgan who gets 110.

    Communication BEFORE you meet in-game is acceptable.
    It's a new type of challenge, different from the standard game.
    At least until someone gets MMI - then all bets are off!

    Currently, There are:
    1. Enigma_Nova, Gaians
    If there is interest, there are:
    2. Flubber, University
    3. Maniac, Peacekeepers

    The Rules may be clarified, but these are the general rules for the game.

          Well you'd have to start out on an island, and your natural advantages are diminished.

          You can play them but it might be wiser to play as the Aliens, Morgan or the Free Drones.

          that's 3, you're down as the pirates, but can change.

          I'm contacting Maniac and Flubber - GAME ON.

                Any of you folk know an objective CMN that can set the extra techs and/or the passwords?

                We'd need someone to open the scen. editor, edit technology and give us what we order (2 techs for Uni, 1 for everyone else), just in case anyone wants to keep it confidential.

                Then I can start a multiplayer PBEM, make my base, set my password and pass the turn on.
                (Then again you might want a CMN to set passwords and press END TURN with the scouts and pods still sitting there - just in case someone is dishonest)

                ...
                1. Enigma_Nova, Gaians.
                2. Flubber, University
                3. Maniac, Peacekeepers.
                4. Walek, Consciousness.
                5. Quezacotl06 , Pirates.
                (But the pirates start on an island so I'm not sure that's wise)

                We should pick our islands now.
                (Attaches the image)
                There are 8 islands in that map:
                Centre North, South, East West
                Nexus North, South
                Edge of map North, South

                The Gaian pod will land on Centre North.
                If you don't pick an island I'll place you where I feel like!

                      Didn't know we had to start on islands...

                      Guess I'll be hive or spartan then

                        never mind. I'll just be spartan.

                          Hive would probably be better for you, Queza; Spartans aren't that good on this map.
                          ---

                          So anyone wanna be the CMN, or are we going to make our extra tech selection open to the public?
                          (I take Biogenetics...)

                          Note that the map wraps around... bear this in mind.

                            I will take the southernmost island-- I'm assuming all the islands are identical
