    OK - sorry for the inordinate delay in getting this off the ground.

    I have inadvertently deleted my e-mail inbox, so for the Uni's freetech, and for any that want to use a near and dear password, can you again e-mail it to me at:

    linfrew@aol.com

    Again, abject apologies for the delay

    Players again are:

    Team #1:
    HIVE - knowhow2 - lawalan@hotmail.com
    UoP - Lonestar_jpm - jensjendricke@hotmail.com


    Team #2
    PKs - Comstr - Comstar@optusnet.com.au
    GAIANS - Ados - stringres@yahoo.com

    Team #3
    SPARTA - FlameFlash – flameflash@mac.com
    MORGAN - Dilithium Dad - pre@po.cwru.edu

    Turn order will be the faction order as appears in SMAC (with the exception that the AI turns after all six human players turn):

    Gaians (Team 2)
    Hive (Team 1)
    UoP (Team 1)
    Morgan (Team 3)
    Sparta (Team 3)
    Peacekeepers (Team 2)
    Believers

    This actually works out quite well, as each team plays its turns consecutively, allowing an added tactical dimension.

    I've set the game up with each pairing having the others maps and commlinks. Let me know by return if you want your starting techs traded in that first turn as well (e.g. Gaians give PKs Cent Ecol so that you can start on a terraformer as soon as you open the turn)

    All start with 3 Colony Pods and 3 scouts (Sparta has 2 scouts and the ususal Unity Rover)

    Anything else before I lock in the parameters?

    And are you sure, Archaic? It's always good to know thine enemy.

    In that case Flameflash, you can step in my place for Game #2. I really don't want to play the Spartans if at all possible. ^^;;; I'll reserve Uni for game #3 instead.

    The vacation bug... now there's a new one... too many of my games are overly familiar with the lazy bug... *sighs*

    Two players for gane #3 now...

    I'd like to claim Sparta with a secondary preferance to Hive just for the record.

    Sign me up for game #3 too. Turns out most of my other games have stalled to 1 turn a week or so. Seems like everyone's getting hit with the vacation bug, or a bug in their computer, or just the lazy bug.

    Well, that's a little more encouraging... thanks johndmuller.

    Yea, bad timing FlameFlash; if one of them can't play Game #2 after all, you'll be next in line. Otherwise, it'll have to be game #3; it might not be too long, game #2 got going pretty fast.

    Man... too bad it looks like this has been started up... if there's a game three, I'm game.

    So...ah now what
    Assuming everyone is OK with Googlie's pairings, I imagine that he will be sending out passwords and turns when he gets everyone's email addresses - if he doesn't already have a complete set. It looks to me like these are covered:

    - knowhow2 (Hive) lawalan@hotmail.com
    - Comstr (Peacekeepers) comstar@optusnet.com.au
    - Lonestar_jpm (UoP) jensjendricke@hotmail.com
    - Ados (Gaians) stringres@yahoo.com
    - Archaic (Sparta) archaiceternal@hotmail.com
    - Dilithium Dad (Morgan) - it looks like this is the only one unaccounted for
    (Note that the turn order will probably be the standard SMAC sequence, not this one.)

    If Googlie already knows DD's, I guess its only a matter of when Googlie finishes his final Quality Control Check and runs the first turn through assigning passwords. If he is using the same start as Game #1, it probably won't be long; if not, then he may playtest for balance first.
