It looks like even the big tourneys are slowing down, so I am proposing a quick, easy-to-set-up game with no CMN.
To accelerate the game without a CMN, each player gets two factions which can communicate and trade tech etc right from the start. The factions are in play order, so you will take the turns of two factions and then e-mail to the next player. The 7th faction will be controlled by the AI (and will probably have a negligable impact on the game).
Map: Ultimate Builder's Map, because of widely dispersed and well-balanced start sites. Unity survey option on, because map is publicly known.
Options: All victories, cooperative on, restart on, no spoils.
Rules: Apolyton Tournament rules EXCEPT stockpile energy is allowed (to accelerate game). No communication until contact is made.
Factions:
There is more than one way to do this, but here's my plan:
Peacekeeper-Gaian: This will be me, the game starter. I will start, select a Gaian password, and send the move on to the next player, who will then choose thier own password:
Hive-University: slot open
Morgan-Spartan: slot open (sends turn back to game starter)
Believers: AI faction
Possibility of more than one game, depending on interest.
