well you know i am back...

as for the map i can make another one... as it really does not matter if people know the map... since we all build and lock away anyways.... and the map will be available for view...

maybe that selection that we all can kind of see the map

I figured you would be back Tesco, but I didn't want to assume it. You know how that saying goes...

If you're willing to make the map that is fine with me. As long as everyone else is ok with it. I don't see any problems with having a player make it as long as everyone has a chance to look at it so there are no unfair advantages. But as you said, in this game there is no huge advantage to knowing the map before anyone else.

I've been racking my brain trying to think of something to do with the map that will make things more interesting but I cannot think of anything. I will let you know if something comes up though. As has been discussed the clusters shouldn't have nearly as many planets as Last time. I think we should have around 10-12 systems in each cluster but only have a total of no more then 200 planets in each cluster.

If you don't mind having someone relatively new to PBW in the game, I'd like to join.

If you are up to the challenge that is good enough for me to allow you to join.

Is your PBW handle the same as here at the forums?

I think I'm up to the challenge. And yep, Renegade 13 is my PBW name, the same as here. (I'm assuming that was what you were asking

) Although for some reason, sometimes it only shows up as Renegade

Don't really know why.

Yup, that is what I was asking. I just needed to know so that when I set up the game I know who is supposed to be allowed to join.

By all means, sign me up!

[edit:] How long will turns be?

Hmmm good question. No more then 72 hours for sure, but I would like to have 36 or 48 hour turns. But I will leave it up to majority vote.

i think we should do it on a grade for the turns

1. turns 1 to 40 --- 48 hours max 36 is good but no less as these games are very time consuming
2. after that those that remain vote on increases... as some of the turns do become very time consuming if you have not had the nack of automating everything...

I agree with you on this system. The first turn will be on LPU though to make sure starting everything runs smoothly. Turns 2 to X (probably 40 as you said) will be 36 hours and then later in the game we can go to 48 for said reasons.
