From: Galaxy PBeM Server <galaxy@geek.net>

Date: Tue, 30 Mar 1999 00:00:00 +0000

I am currently starting four new GalaxyNG games.  Registration will
continue through Monday, April 12th.  Sometime in the evening I will
cull the respondants together and send out the turn0 reports.

GAME 1:  Galaxy Skywalker
# of Turns/week:        2
Day/Time Processed:     W Sa at 8:30 pm CST (2030)
# of Homeworlds:        3
Max # of Players:       None

NOTES:                  Galaxy Skywalker is another of the
                        ever-popular "cluster" games.  Players will start
                        with three colony worlds of 1000, 400 and 400
                        population along with a sizable group of planets
                        in close proximity, perfect for colonization.

Turn1 will run on Saturday, April 17th.

GAME 2: Galaxy Vader
# of Turns/week:        5
Day/Time Processed:     Su Mo Tu We Th at 10:00 pm CST (1900)
# of Homeworlds:        1
Max # of Players:       None
NOTES:                  Galaxy Vader is what is known as a "blitz"
                        game where turns run five days a week leading
                        to hectic action and quick game resolution.

Players will start with only one planet and a
                        goodly number of additional planets ripe for
                        colonization in the immediate vicinty.

The size of this galaxy will be very small
                        compared to the number of players, leading to
                        early battles.

Turn1 reports will be generated on Tuesday,
                        April 13th.

GAME 3:  Galaxy Tarkin
# of Turns/week:        2
Day/Time Processed:     Tu and Fri at 7:00 pm CST
# of Homeworlds:        7
Max # of Players:       None
NOTES:                  In Galaxy Tarkin, each player will be given a
                        large number of full populated planets to
                        start with.

Throughout the galaxy will be a relatively
                        low player-to-planet threshold, leading to
                        great battles for what limited resources are
                        available.

The size of this galaxy will be relatively
                        small, leading to early-game battles.

Turn1 reports will be generated on Friday,
                        April 16th.

GAME 4:  Galaxy Yoda
# of Turns/week:        2
Day/Time Processed:     Saturday and Wednesday at 7:00 pm CST
# of Homeworlds:        3
Max # of Players:       15
NOTES:                  Galaxy Yoda is a training galaxy designed for
                        newbie players.  Total players will be
                        limited to 15 to give everyone a chance to
                        play a big.

If you are an experienced Galaxy player, you
                        should not enroll in Galaxy Yoda.  This
                        should be considered a good forum to make
                        mistakes and try out your legs a bit.

Turn1 reports will be generated on Saturday,
                        April 17th.

TO ENROLL

Send an email to galaxy-register@geek.net.  In the subject line, put
the words 'enroll gamename'.  For example 'enroll empire'.  The order
is not case sensitive.  The body of the message is ignored.

Please do not enroll in the game if you are not interested in playing
or don't think you'll have the time.  Having 30% of the players not
even bother to submit turn1 orders gets a little old!

The turn0 report will be sent to the address in the FROM: line of the
message.  If you want your reports to go to a different address, you
will have to change them in your turn1 orders.

NOTE:  These games will use the lastest GalaxyNG which has some new
options.  Please see http://gumpu.student.utwente.nl/~galaxyng for
more information.
