New 'Poly game?

[burbel]

The last game had, I think, around 5 active players, and a couple that would only log on when they were needed to moth QCannons.

I am all for open players in a new game, or an asset based tournament game (problem with the asset game is getting everyone in on time).

Opinions? Also, I like doing sectors = players * 200, and I think sectors / 4 is good for turns per day.

[Wittlich]

So, how many players do we have? I too, am for an open game in the hopes of getting more players into the game.

[burbel]

Well, from the current game, Armstrong, Burbel, Teedo, Urban Ranger, and Wittlich will probably play again. King Thor said that he would be in at least part time, and we might be able to talk Aeturneus into joining up, too. Zealot seems interested.

We can also try and catch MarkG, Marko Polo, Hutak, CapTVK, and anyone else from the earlier games.

Other ideas? I am thinking that a 1500 - 1600 sector universe will probably be sufficient, if we can drum up more players.

However, we always seem to come up short on players, so maybe a 1,000 sector game would be a good one?

[burbel]

Well, I am now ready for a rebang. =) BTW guys, 10 deaths and you're out. Whether you're in an escape pod or not, it kicks you. Figured I would test that, as well.

Total setup for me, 110k figs defending 3 planets, 100 shields per planet, all level 6, all max fuel ore, 1 earth, 2 mountainous.

1 level 2 citadel on an oceanic planet, around 65k colos.

The spread, IIRC, was 35/35/40 for figs on the planets.

Congratulations on a game well played.

[burbel]

Ahh, tricky, tricky. But you can log back in. Hmm...

[burbel]

Well, here's my final settings from the game, I think I am through taking my turns. Here's the final computer listing of players and my corporate planet scan.
