 Re: So lets see a list of beginner games...
Which of these games would you recommend an old-timer jump into who feels like tinkering around and perhaps teaching a thing or two to some newbs? I'm not interested in too competetive a game these days, it always burns me out. I do love to play this game however, and maybe I can teach as person or two how to actually play as a red. You guys aren't very good at it.

H All games on my server are configured for new and returning players. I currently have one "Lobby" to test my edits, Citadels go L5 in one day. This is so you can get a "feel" for the delays I've set, to see if this suits you or not, before you commit to playing one of the other games. The 3 other stock games are active, I'll usually bang one of those each month. Low turns, time limits. Delays on planet movement and photons. Ferrengi are stock, but well supplied to help keep the grid under control. My game P - Cruncher's Private game is high turn, long running. I activly play here allbeit part-time. I have assets enough to protect anyone who needs a quieter game to "warm-up" in. I do have a couple of R/L friends who tinker around here as well.
