Re: Interest Check
It sounds somewhat entertaining, but given the explicit warning that this is the scenario I'd just make sure the guy playing the mushroom had no chance at all. You'd have to disable more basic game features or put in more complicated constraints like no probes, no migrations, no PBB's, etc.

Re: Preferred Games
Well, I like No-Comm games, games with small-medium sized maps, and maps that can be unwrapped flat. Random maps that don't rely on prior knowledge are favored. Games with a headstart can be interesting as can ones with heavy resource constraints... I like the idea of the new character types, but I'...

Probes
Okay, so something changed at some point and people and documentation are out of sync. The help file says that probes go out before combat and I've been told that this is the way things work by others. "A fleet may probe one or more worlds adjacent to the world it orbits at the beginning of the...

Re: Game Setup
Right, David, and in other circumstances such as weak starting resources, a trader will serve almost no purpose at all. The traders advantage is almost strictly numerical rather than tactical and is only numerical past the start of the game (it can be boiled down to a number of ships). You also have...

Re: No-communication games
Were there really questions about agrees2p? I was the gifter in that game but was not the first... While there is intended to be no Comm out of game, there is Comm IN game by way of gifts which I absolutely try to use to advantage and so should everyone, otherwise you're missing out on a whole dimen...

Re: No-communication games
Wow, bummer. Those are actually the games I'm more likely to sign up for since I don't have to directly deal with people!

Reducing the player pool
This map situation is getting to be a big issue. There are those of us that are interested in playing a reasonable game with a manageable map, but these maps that are requiring a 3D or '4D' interface in order to arrange and navigate in addition to prior knowledge of the configuration to rationally s...

Map topology
So, historically the maps have been computer generated and 'flat' topologies. In one game I'm seeing a structure that strikes me as at least cylindrical for the bits I've seen; I assume potentially toroidal. Has there been a change to this?

Re: 3rd pbem-spiele.de Classic Game
To get it moving I took up a second position and it won't let me take a third; I noticed this isn't showing up on the general list of games/positions available. If you could shift it from a private game to a public then other people might be able to fill the position much easier.

Re: industry3p
Having thought about it, yes, it's when orders are issued. Where this really hurts is the ponderous stuff- through some genius machinations I was able to claim a total of 90 empty fleets around one planet but had to transfer 1 ship to each of the them (individual orders) (btw it's very difficult to ...

How long is that bug report submission supposed to take? It's been running for over 10 minutes now.... industry3p is my big game.
