Well, let's see:

- Should we agree on some sort of procedure if one of the "no more than" rule is violated? I suspect it could also be a problem with, say, fleets that lose some movement after a battle.

- I'm fine with your modification to the modified modification (the rule of Ten Defenders).

- Looks like you didn't trust me to ban Warp Manipulation (like you would trust *me* with anything). So, I'll do something nice and simple: No Mines. You know, "Damn the torpedoes! Full speed ahead!" and all that.

I know I really want to yell "Manual placement", but. You're flying without the Balance Mod, so let's live on the edge. In case it gets ugly... well, I'll stay in France for eight months still, so that's plenty of time for a rematch.

- Do we have a volunteer for game setup and all the dull, boring, run-of-the-mill, commonplace administrative stuff? I guess either of us could do the setup, since we are doing a random map, and we are both respectable folks. Then again, I always screw up when setting up your games, so perhaps someone else should do it.
Fulltech:

No intel (S)
No APB (A)
No ship/base size above 600 Kt (S)
No racial points (A)
No more than 10 vessels per sector (mines exempt) (S)
No Advanced Military tech (A)
No openers or closers (S)
No mines (A)

Well, we still need to agree on other things. For instance, I kind of like the horror of the grid map. Enjoyed a game on it with Khryon. But it's really scary. And how many starting planets? And what size? And what size galaxy?

As to a volunteer, we can wait a bit, I suspect, and see if anyone hops up to the plate. I'm just kind of busy at Christmas time and to add to it, I'm sponsoring a photo contest on an auto website and filling the last item for a wedding I shot last month (a ProSho slideshow...have been waiting for version 3 to come out which happened yesterday).

If no one else volunteers, I trust you to set up the game because I suspect you enjoy the challenge instead of a cheated win.

So, 8 months? Did I miss something somewhere?
