I'd play if someone needs a corpse.

i ran a revstock ladder for a while there. the problem i ran into was finding enough teams to fill out the ladder. you need 8 teams for a 3-deep ladder, 16 for 4-deep. in the end i had to make the teams very small, 3-4 players, and i had to do wildcard teams that got to play again even though they lost - and it was hard to be fair. like you say, the concept is great, but i found the execution difficult and it exposed me to unwanted criticism all along the way.

p.s. why are there two threads for this topic?

It seems that several of the players I've contacted to play won't play because of the time limit. Well, I am going to still try to put a corp together if nothing else to show people that I am versitile enough to play any edit whether it be low turn, high turn, unlimited time, or little time.

I'm of a different mind on time limits. It's fine if that's a strategy you like, but from my experience you can poke a lot of holes in a TL game using clever monitoring scripts unless the TL is very small and the penalty is fairly high.

From my experience most TL games favor scripters because of that. One of my first real wins in a game was in a 5 hr TL game where I wrote a TL monitor and patched it into a pdropper. Of course that was years back, techniques have improved, but the edge is still there to be sure.

Not trying to cast a negative or anything tho. I hope the turny goes well and I'm happy to do what I can to help it along.

Playing red mostly, time limits have little effect on me...get in and cash then log out....they do make the game some what more challenging in a logistics way though....getting corp together to run turns or buy downs, also gridding with a saveme.

I think with a six man team this should be no hard feat if you recruit diehard Twar players....So i will see you guys in the game...I will be the one with the real high negative alignment....I have a couple of players interested...just looking for a good ceo and some good hunter/killers now....

ps....would be nice to no where this gaame is going to be played...
for a real challenge...Vids server would add an extra spice to it and level the field as in ping times.

Bah noone needs a corpie? And I see alot of logmein scripts headed towards the tourn.

you can be on my team... i won't actually be playing though. i need a captain...

THis sounds like it will be a blast.

Have a good game guys.

Some comments, after going through some of the in game stuff..

Overall, I like the settings a lot. The ships are almost all going to be very useful. People will have a lot of decisions to make about which ships to purchase, depending on their role (there isnt one "killer ship that does every task in the game").

Same goes with the planets, I have not been able to create a class O, but i like the others ones.

A quick little thing I noticed- The former class K planet, now called a "product factory" is incorrectly shown as class M (along with the class M equipment factory)

UTW will be entering a team. We already have 4 players on the team and have room for 2 more.

Contact me at http://www.Ultimatetw@gmail.com or ICQ 268-207-588 if you have an interest in playing.

Team Name and Player Names are still being discussed and will be supplied at a later time.
