Ok, how do we want to start this?

[Whoha]

Have El Presidente start up a game?

[Sharpe]

Do we want to have a set of minimum conditions for our 1st system and/or surrounding stars and have the President restart until we get something that meets the minimum conditions?

Or we can just accept what comes up first?

Or have the president restart until a good enough start that is satisfying enough in his view that comes up?

For me, I would like to have at least 1-2 (or more ) other planets (preferably non-toxic) in our system and have at least 3 stars within range.

[Whoha]

I've never felt the need to restart, but I leave it all to the discretion of our dictator in chief since we aren't playing a super production race.

[vmxa1]

I don't know how they plan on doing things, I would think the bossman could just start one up. We already have all the settings (I think).

[Sharpe]

Yeah I know I cheat that way - but since that is the only cheating I do in the game (oddly enough I regard the omniscience trait as a cheat) I don't feel so bad - besides it isn't as though I keep cycling through restarts until I get an ultra rich or a gaia or terran planet in my starting system...

[Arnelos]

We don't need to restart.

Btw, because I wasn't around for it, what the starting conditions and what is our race customization?

I may have this wrong, but it is something like:

Dralok picture
Creative, Uni Rep -GC -SD
The other parts I forget, it is maybe +R and +P

8 players impossible anties on Prewarp

I am not sure about the rest. There should be a thread for it, somewhere.

[Whoha]

Creative Dictatorship Large and Artifacts Homeworld, with +1 Science and Aquatic.
Negatives are -Ship defence, -Ground combat and Repulsive.

[GhengisFarb™]

We chose an ARTIFACTS homeworld?

Sheesh, I thought we chose subterranean.

We need to iron this out, I find it hard to believe we wasted points on a choice that only affects one planet.

[Arnelos]

So we're playing a superrace (with every cheap MoO2 pick) on impossible level...

You know, sometimes it's more enjoyable to play a run-of-the-mill race on Hard, largest mapsize, prewarp

Given that we're on Impossible level, mapsize is going to make a HUGE difference. What is it?

[Whoha]

nope arnelos, those are fairly poor picks,
the production picks are king in Moo2.

[vmxa1]

Once we have figured out how to run this format, we can have many games of many settings. It will not take as long to get things underway.

[Whoha]

Ok, president create a game and post it.

[Gilgamensch]

I am trying to get a channel for us, so that we could 'discuss' online the game, meaning we join in the chat-room and can play the game.

[bakalov]

We will not need restart. This can be played out with only one planet for a looooooooong time.
