ANNOUNCE: Three new GalaxyNG Games at Geek.NET (2nd notice)

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

Date: Sun, 29 Nov 1998 00:00:00 +0000

I am currently starting three new GalaxyNG games.  Registration will
continue through Monday, December 7.  Sometime in the evening I will cull
the respondants together and send out the turn0 reports.

GAME 1:  Galaxy Warpath
# of Turns/week:	5
Day/Time Processed:	SU M T W Th at 6:30 pm CST
# of Homeworlds:	4
Max # of Players:	None
NOTES:			The is another of the ever-popular "blitz" games
			where turns run every night (except Friday and
			Saturday)

In this game, players will have a decent cluster
			of worlds close to them with a good distance
			between races.  Action should be slow to build
			as initial concentration will be on colonization
			and industry building, then things will get ugly
			as large fleets duke it out for dominance!

There will be few "stuff" planetoids filling the
			void between clusters

This game is simliar to the "Cluster" and
			"Domination" games already running, except the
			scale will be slightly smaller and the turns run
			more frequently.

Turn1 reports will be generated as normal on
			Tuesday, December 8th.

GAME 2:  Galaxy Empire
# of Turns/week:	1
Day/Time Processed:	Th at 6:00 pm CST
# of Homeworlds:	10(!!!)
Max # of Players:	None
NOTES:			In this game, players are given a large number
			of initial planets, fully populated and
			industrialized.

The representation is of an large, old-growth
			empire just about ready to begin space expansion
			in earnest.  Expect early battles as small forces
			stomp quickly on the unprepared and then the
			remainders suck it up for the large fights of the
			late game.

Turn1 reports will be generated on Thursday,
			December 10th.  After that, the normal 1 week
			schedule will take effect.

GAME 2:  Galaxy Sierra
# of Turns/week:	2
Day/Time Processed:	Tu and Fri at 6:00 pm CST
# of Homeworlds:	1
Max # of Players:	None
NOTES:			In this game, each player is given a single world.
			Around each player's world are only a couple of
			planets with decent population, instead almost the
			entire universe is made up of tiny "stuff"
			planetoids and asteroids.

Since each player will have only a limited
			industry, the primary focus of the game will be
			to both secure as many small planets as possible
			and to use your limited resources for both
			defense and offense.

Players in this game will find new challenges
			compared to the large and resource rich galaxies
			of other games.

Turn1 reports will be generated on Tuesday,
			December 8th.

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 new GalaxyNG 3.2 which has some new
options.  Please see http://gumpu.student.utwente.nl/~galaxyng for more
information.
