New Game Idea!

Sounds like an interesting concept. I would be willing to participate. If so I vote for Devnull.

You'd probably need to do this PBEM. There is no way for one userid to control more then one empire in a PBW game. You'd have to have two userid's each, and we seriously frown upon that sort of thing for obvious reasons.

I suppose if you are set on it we could make an exception for this game. I'd ask that you make your second userid some form of your original userid so it's clear to everone it's being controlled by the same person. (ie, Frank and FrankTwo)

Your right. I had the idea we would simply have 2 empires each but with some actual thought on the subject I can see the problem.

Can this situation be simulated by starting 3-planet game, and then setting 3 different start location for each player in the different sides of quadrant?

No, the map editor only allows you to set one start point per player. A multiplanet start will place the first planet at the start point, and the others semi-randomly.

At least I think that's what I remember it doing when I tried to do something similar.

I like the concept and really want to play this one, So let me know if I'm accepted SE5A.

BTW: I don't see the problem that we have 2 userid's for this game, I understand Geoschmo's reasons. But people who are willing to abuse this are probably already doing this (and we will never know) so the 'honest' players for this game must be allowed to have more userid's.

BTW2: I'm in a game where the gamehost control's 6 or 7 races for roleplay purposes, it is a great game and it works perfect !!!!!

you could set it up so that the host runs the first several turns for each player, just enough to build colony ships and set up second colonies, and maybe to build some facilities on the second home world.
