ThE gAmE Of thE cEntUry!!! I will be setting up an intercollegiate competition. Teams of two(you make them). Your choice of races. Your choice of homeworlds. Your choice of playing registered or unregistered. Host 3.13a or most current host will be used immediately upon receipt. All configuration parameters are set at default or ZERO. Here is how this will go: EAch team will start off with 5000 value points(2500 each, or use it how you want). For example: Team A want the privateers and the Cyborgs. They bid 1000pts on the pirates, 1250 on the cyborg == total of 2250. If they get both, they will then have 2750pts left for increases in configuration setup(like ground defense, assimilation rate, tax rate, etc. The prices for these will be defined to the races later when I I assign the races) When you send me you choice of race(s), send me how much you bid on them. Send secondary and third choices also. FEDs are not available(they are the nuetral observationary race). Send your choice of homeworlds as planet #(and secondary choice for homeworld just in case). After I post team assignments, teams will be able to use remaining value points(5000 minus total of bids used to acquire their races) to upgrade the config settings to their advantage(more of this will be described to actual players). I WILL be participating on the Colorado State University team w/ an associate(Emperor Jake). If you and a collegiate colleague are interested in doing some BUTT kicking on other collegiate teams, then by all means, JOIN US!!!. There will be 5 teams of 2 players each, turns will run Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays @ 8:00 A.M. Mountain Time. I will let all teams know what other universities are playing, but not which races they are playing. Yes folks, it's the game of the century!!! Which University(college) will WIN!! Who has the better strategists??? LETS FIND OUT!!! Brian. ************************************************************************* *Brian Convery * "You can lose your head; * * a.k.a.
