Date: 11 Jan 1994 14:34:03 +0100 Organization: Oslonett public access Lines: 46 Message-ID: <2gu9sb$n7v@hasle.oslonett.no> NNTP-Posting-Host: hasle.oslonett.no New host offered for newbie players. I've seen quite a few postings about newbie players wanting to play lately. So as a result I thought I might as well provide a game in which they can test their skills against other newbies, so as not to be hopelessly outclassed from the beginning. This game will start Monday 18.1. 09:00 CET, and will be for NEWBIES ONLY, as well as UNREGISTERED only. Turns will be sent out 09:00 on M/W/F, and not waiting for late sendings of turns. The settings will be pretty much standard, except as noted: - Chance of major meteor: 20% - Planets can attack ALL ships, including Fascist and Rebel. - Cloaked ships may not be robbed. - Engine tech boosts shield by 50% - Ships with only one engine can't tow. - All races get one free fighter each turn, Empire still get 5. If you're interested, send me a list of your top 3 preferences of races. I will try to give everyone their first choice, and use 2nd choice only if noone else has that race as their number 1. This means that the less popular race you choose as your number 1, the easier it is to be accepted in the game *grin*. Other than that it's "first to the mill". I do not intend to play myself, but since it's most fun if all races are claimed I'll play a race if noone else opts for it. This game will run until either one race owns more than 200 planets or one race has killed off 5 other races. A player with no starbase has lost, and that race will be played by the cplayer afterwards. Alliances of up to 4 races are allowed, and E-mail is considered appropriate for communication between players. All players are invited to share their E-mail address through the game, but I, as host won't send them on request in case someone would prefer to be anonymous. The game is of course completely free of charge, as is my help in case you do not know how to get started or you need someone to do your turn (alternatively the cplayer or me). Seeya around!
