Return to Orion- Sphereworld PBW game.

Oh sure, it might be fun for you, but think about your poor colonists.

President Bush thinks to himself:
"It's much more exciting to run the country when there are lots of tornados, floods and earthquakes."

If the events are set any lower than Catastrophic and the frequency set any lower than High, I get the feeling that I'm in a dry and pointless featureless room

I'm almost the exact opposite; I've only played one solo game with an event frequency above Low, and that was enough to convince myself that Medium frequency/Catastrophic severity is too frustrating for me to enjoy.

Ok fellow rulers, posing a question here. For the game settings do we want (or not want) Intel on?? This is entirely up to you guys (personally I've never actually used intel, I just tend to bash away ). The biggest downside I can see about intel is someone PPP (if that is the correct term) the Sphereworld.

To those who havn't joined yet, shame on you

I would like to start this game Monday if we have 6 to 8 players. (currently sitting at 5).

I think I would prefer Intel off. It's one less infrastructure item to worry about. I have enough problems keeping track of everything else!

intel off.

With intel on I would steal every AI starship I could find to help other gamers to die a painful and slow death.

I'm up for another game, but I'm bored to tears with tech trading. If the option is enabled then it seems like a no-brainer to trade everything with everyone as quickly as possible.

This is a) tedious, I'm fed up with writing endless emails asking if x wants to trade y for w.
and b) you miss out on several features of the game. Like fighting wars with low tech ships, and having three different colonization phases in the game.

Good point Evil Rich, what do the rest of you guys think?? So far for Intel the vote is to kill it for this game.
