RSW

Can the position be taken over by an account already in the game? Yes. The player who takes on multiple positions in a given game will be awarded the lowest score of all his positions at game end. How are in-game interactions affected? Do the worlds and fleets become neutral, or is it just as if th...

Incidentally, how does RSW handle dropped players? If you miss two turns in a row, your game position is considered "abandoned", and is offered on the signup page for anyone who wants to take it over (though you can reclaim it by immediately entering a turn). There is also an option to of...

That's why I think a limited time period for the first turns would be beneficial. People don't really need all that time to make their turn. They just need a little help overcoming procrastination. I can see that. On the other hand, the first few turns are the most important turns not to miss--if y...

I feel your pain. I'm a little antsy for the game to get underway, too. The first few turns of any game are particularly uneventful, and it's always nice when they go by quickly. That's usually the biggest value of the "quick turns" feature, to let the first few turns go by quickly, since ...

Boy, am I glad that's over. Two games a day was awfully demanding.

Still, a fun game all around. And aptly named--it was dramatic. Thanks, everyone! I enjoyed relentlessly pursuing undiplomatic Berserkers to their ultimate end.
