This is a call for players for a special GalaxyNG game;

"Russia versus the rest of the world"

Galaxy is very popular in Russia, and they play a variant called G+.
Some months ago we thought it might be a good idea to test the
strength of the Russian players agains "our" players (i.e Galaxy and
GalaxyNG players).  For this the GalaxyNG code was modified to
generate G+ reports as well as normal Galaxy reports.  The G+ reports
allow the russian players to use their own galaxy viewer (a quite
impressive one called GV).

To test the new code a test game was started. This game has been
running for quite a while, so we though it is time to start the real
game!

Well this is your chance to join.  The game will be a 30 player game.
15 russian players and 15 "rest of the world" players.  The game will
run at 3 turns per week for the first 15 turns and then slow down to 2
turns per week.  The idea is that there is one big fight with either
the russians or the rest of the world as winner.  Who wins is
determined by how long each team member survives.

This is your chance to see how you measure up to russian players
(which are very good).

If you want to join, send an email with as subject

Have Fun,
Frans.
