PBW - Newbie Galactic Combat II Crisis Forum.

There will be a NGC3.
It will be put up on the PBW in about two weeks.
What I'm thinking about is turntimes and alliances.
I can live with a turntime of 72 turns, but then combined with the NO-AI mod it will mean virtually no pauses in the timed turns.
As to alliances I only want to allow one partnership, should there be unlimited military allainces?

Alliance victories allowed, i e partners, meaning max 2 players winning the game.

Why am I restarting the game? I wanna play in a huge universe and I'm stubborn!

I'll mail you who shown interest when the game is put up on the PBW site.

You know, with all the talk about cheating problems I wonder if it isn't time for PBW to introduce some sort of 'credibility system' comparable to eBay's feedback. Every time you finish a game the host could leave 'feedback' giving you a vote/credit for having played one 'good' game, or give you a 'minus' for having violated game rules or misbehaved some other way, or even flag you as a cheater if you cheated. Over time, it would be less and less necessary to have the admins intervene over cheating. People could open their games conditionally to people with 'X' amount of positive feedback, and newbie games could be run by people willing to do the extra screening to watch for cheaters.

The tough question of course is how much extra code work this would be for PBW.

Baron, that is one hell of a good idea.

It would be like a credit report.

A credit report is only as good as the participants reporting on the person's credit.

Again, a good idea.
