Rebang? (Vote)

Rebang might not be such a good idea, but what about having a second game running somewhere? Probably not on the Firaxis server since the game is slowing it down for normal work. As RyanR points out there are free servers out there that we might be able to use.

I think we should leave the current game as a learning process for newbies.

Actually I have to agree with Radagast. This game is a test game in many ways, including players. We should start another game with a bigger universe, a 1-2 week launch notive, and a set of rules.

i dont see we must end this game. there are people joining even now. i would agree to a second synchronous game, if possible on firaxis' server.

I'll have to think about that. It is possible that we can locate another machine for TW games, I just don't want to completely humble the webserver. I think we'll probably let this game run for a while longer and then start a tournament game, perhaps double-elimination? Once you're out, you're out.. last one standing wins..

Mark and Dan, I of course highly encourage you to support John and EIS by buying a license and setting up your *own* server =) Those guys work really hard to maintain the product, so while I applaud folks mentioning that there are plenty of free TW servers, don't forget to support the folks who make it possible.
