    Everybody, the game will start on Monday. You may send your pre-build orders before then. And you may discuss rules until then.

    I'll post something about the rules during the weekend.

      Pre-build is in.
      We're sorry, the voices in my head are not available at this time. Please try back again soon.

        I'll send my prebuild soon, after the amount of BPs is confirmed. 20, right?

          I like the rules as they are now. I'll send prebuilds when they're confirmed.

            Pre-builds used to be 20 in GO 1.

            However, I was thinking it might be a good idea to increase them to 30.

            What do you think?


            Another issue: In case an allied attack runs into a shield, should all members of the alliance suffer 12 HP penalty? I think yes to increase the usefulness of the shields, as they are utterly useless as it stands now.

              I abstain from voting from this (I understand little enough of this game that I don't think I should be voting on any of the rules).

              I will request a quick decision however as it would help to know what we have to work with.

              Thanks,

                Also, there will be no splitting of the bases. If the allies fail to agree on the issue who gets the odd base, I'll assign it to the ally who sent the orders first.


                Another issue: What is someone fails to send orders in time? Should I apply a random OoB, or is his fleet going to be destroyed in chaos?

                Vote on the issues please.

                            OK. GM ruling.

                            Pre-builds are 30 BP now to allow for a better diversity in start strategies.

                            Allies will incur 12 HP damage each if they run into a shield.

                            Odd bases will be assigned to the members of an alliance in accordance with the FIFO algorithm unless otherwise agreed by all members of the alliance.

                            Default orders will be accepted (including a default OoB and build). If no orders have been sent and no default set of orders exists, I shall apply a random OoB generated using my trademark random number generator (i.e. rolling a dice).


                            Let the game begin. You may send in your pre-build orders. It's still not too late to accept new players. I shall process the pre-builds on Monday at 16:00 hours GMT+1.

                              Sounds good. Prebuild sent.

                                One more thing: Please discuss during the weekend!!!


                                Spaced Cowboy suggested in another thread that fleet that runs into a shield should take more damage than negligible 12 HP.

                                His suggestion was 10-20 % losses.

                                I have another suggestion. Perhaps all ships except titans destroyed and titans damaged.


                                The logic behind this is simple. Right now shields are next to useless as they don't hurt your opponents and protect you only for a number of turns. The problem with this is that if you are at the receiving end of a stronger opponent you are going to die sooner or later. If shields were made more powerful, the advantages that come with alliances might be offset so that a lonely overlord might still have some chance with a defensive strategy.

                                What do you think? This time post your opinions please.
