New Tournament starting, Join the 2003 PBW Open tournament

Ok, I have made another change to the tourney. 36 hour turns are great for me, but the idea of the tourney is to make it accesible to as many people as possible, and some people just can't play that often. Instead of 36 hour turns I am changing it to 60 hour automatic turns. Two and a half days. It is my sincere hope that people will nto take the full 60 hours between turns. If you are in a game and you are the only one that hasn't played you can expect to receive emails from me wanting to know what is going on. And anybody missing turns with no explanation will be severly frowned upon.

Two first round games are full, one has already started playing. The third game needs one more player. I had hoped I would get at least 20 players for this, but if 15 is all we get we can make do.

Come on and join!

Ok, making progress now. We have 18. Three full games and looks like we should fill the fourth. I was looking at options for the later rounds and this would really work pretty well if we could get 25 people. But 20 is ok.

The nice thing about this one I think is it shouldn't take forever like the Survivor tourney. Might be able to do it in three rounds.

Can you sign me up?
I can't acess PBW from work and I won't be home until another 16 hours.

Ok Ruatha, you are in game 4. As long as people want in though I will keep adding games. I haven't put a time limit or a limit on the number of contestants. Although I'd like to keep the games all of five, at least for the first round. So maybe some people will not get in if we end up with only one or two extras. Unless we throw them in and make a couple games of six. Although that might be hard to do cause I have been starting the games as soon as they fill up so far.

Good.
Will start thinking about empire creation and strategy instead of work now then

Is it possible somehow to disable every political/trading interaction? I guess ship/resources/somesuch trading is not intended also, right?
