Default PBW \"newbie game\"

Anyone else just starting this (not to mention simultanious play, for myself..) and want to make a "newbie game"?

Preferably with someone experienced with the system to set things up? I'd do it, but I'd botch things

Phoenix-D
who also wonders how many other people like "warp points anywhere"..

Strange - I was almost going to post the exact same thing...

I would like to join your game - but I have no idea on how to start it.

You are the first person to mention warp point anywhere. I play all my solo games with warp point anywhere enabled. It add some varity and suspense. Especially when you transit a WP into a black hole system... and you are NOT at the edge,,, BUT your ship IS damaged... lol.

I have put in to join the game, though I am not sure when or to where I am to send the .emp file. Does the web site give me more guidance if you accept me? Hopefully, this ignorance is enough to qualify me for a newbie game!

Yes, you'll get an e-mail when you're accepted into the game, and when you next log in to the PBW site, the game page will have a button activated for uploading your .emp file. There might also be an option to e-mail the .emp file, but I don't recall offhand.

1 slot left. Of course, if more than one person wants to join, I CAN up the number of people.. you just need to tell me.

I just joined the game.

I have a question through. I wanted to use my spoogy shipset - does everyone need to have that shipset to see it correctly?

Yes. If they DON'T, I think the game will substitute another empire pic for your empire's. Worse, it might pic a new one every turn.. make sure you email that set out once you upload it!

We're ready to go just as soon as everyone uploads their files. Hopefully the server allows ME to generate the map, since I turned off "all warp points connected"..I like to regen maps with that one on til all are connected nautrally or there are two big sections.

OK, with THAT problem solved, we just need everyone else to upload their empire files.

Oh, and if anyone else happens to want to join, just mention it. I'll bump up the # of players (right now it's at 4, and full)
