This game is primarily for registered players, however I will not turn non-registered players away. As host I will be playing in this game. The game will run for 80 turns or as long as necessary. Please submit, in descending order, your player race preference. The choices are: The Birdmen The Fascists The Cyborgs The Crystals The Robots The Rebels The Colonies The play field setup has each quadrant of the star map divided into 4 equal subsectors each being 5x5 blocks. A mildly disinterested 3rd party has written a random number generator that will assign each player a subsector number. I will mail the subsector number to the player then the player should choose a world within that subsector as a homeworld. After selecting a homeworld the player should then mail that information back to me so that I can enter it into the program. Sector Map Sector1 1 2 | 5 6 Sector2 4 3 | 8 7 -------------- Sector4 9 10 | 13 14 Sector3 12 11 | 16 15 Homeworld start up configuration: Normal population High money High minerals Tech 7 engines Barring holidays and unforseen mishaps the game will run Mon.- Fri. All turns will be due by 11:00 am the next morning. In the event of some unforseen difficulty with completing your turn in time please let me know ASAP so that I can inform the remaining players of any unexpected delays. I will try to be as reasonable as possible regarding extensions as long as I am kept informed. Please send your turn UUENCODED with the subject field "TURNFILE" For example: uuencode player4.trn player4.trn | mail -s"TURNFILE" cchism@lynx.neu.edu Please mail all relevant correspondence to cchism@lynx.neu.edu --------------Read ABOVE------------ -- Khanh Miller ktmiller@constellation.ecn.uoknor.edu - Up
