I'm reposting this message for Rob's new Galaxy game. If you want to join,
remember that I am NOT running the game, Rob is, so please do NOT reply to
this post, instead email to rob@ccc.govt.nz.

Greetings Net.World

I am reposting this call for starters, as shortly after the last post
(2 & 1/2 weeks ago) one of our relay sites decided to shift their computer
room and during the last few weeks, a lot of mail has been lost or bounced.
So will applicants please re-apply.

I intend to start a new game of Galaxy in a week's time (Game Solar).
2 moves per week, 30-40 players, NO alliance wins this time.
Standard code (version 3.0 hopefully).
First in, first served.
Reply to "Rob@ccc.govt.nz" and quote "Solar Galaxy" in the subject line.
Deadline for entries is Wednesday 17th 18:00 (6 pm) GMT.

For those of you who haven't come across it before, Galaxy is a game of
interstellar war for several email players. You are the leader of your race.
You start off by sharing an area of the galaxy with a number of other races
and your objective is to become its sole occupant.
Each race starts off occupying one planet and the other planets are
uninhabited. It is possible to colonize uninhabited planets and conquer
planets inhabited by other races.
You design your ships for colonising, war and defense and expand out into
the uncharted wastes.
Orders are sent to me as email messages, I check them, process them all
together twice a week and send the results out to all players.
Scheming, plotting and backstabbing between players is available and
encouraged.

Rules are available from me if necessary. Also any questions can be passed
to me for answers.

(This is really a proof of the "Big-Bang theory". As one Galaxy ends, a new
one begins !)
