I'm starting a game of VGA Planets, but I haven't found enough
players locally, so I'm looking to the Internet for the last 5 players.

The races left are: The Solar Federation, the Fascists, the Cyborgs, the
Crystal People, and the Lost Colonies of Man.

Now for all the FAQs (as listed in the manual)...

o  The game will be starting on Friday, Sept. 3rd.
o  Turns will be run Weekdays, 1nce / day (It may get upped to 7 days/week)
o  Turn deadlines will be 7:00pm EST
o  File compression is up to the players, but I will only accept .ZIP format
   compression.
o  The game host IS playing.
o  The skill level will be Novice to Intermediate.
o  I'm using Version 3.0 (Shareware version)
o  Private alliance negotiations are allowed
o  Player passwords are up to the indiviual players
o  Players should state their first 3 choices of race - from those remaining.
o  Non-Standard race names - I would prefer noone used them - It can get
   confusing...
o  The ending condition of the game is to be the last player left alive,
   or, if the outcome is entirely obvious, you will be declared the winnner.
o  The game configuration:
	- Distance between homeworlds (Long)
	- Mineral richness of homeworlds (Extra Rich)
	- Starting Engine Tech level (6)
	- Recycle Rate of Colonizing ships (75%)
	- Odds of large meteor impact (8%)
	- Mine fields allowed (YES)
	- Alchemy ships allowed (YES)
o  Players should send their 'applications', questions, and turn files to:
   dpwhite@cs-acad-lan.Lakeheadu.ca (Daniel White)
o  Don't forget you will need a uuencode/uudecode package to convert turn
   and result files.
