Can I be on your team?

so its not something you'd be interesting in trying for one game?

If you really wanted to make a game like this fun, you would make it a lotto (all names drawn) game instead of a draft (pick & choose) game. That way no one knows who the get until all names are drawn. If you get good players it's the luck of the draw.

that is what im suggesting Big D. Having the Sysop or another no involved person pick the names out of a hat. So its totally random.

I'd be more than willing to Host and run the Lotto. I do remember the Letal Lotto games. They were some fun times. As D said, sometimes you got the good end of the stick, other times, well, you were still left looking for a stick.

well we have a host. I was thinking after the "big game" is over some time.... whos going to play?

OK. IF the server runs v1 settings, if it 3k turns or less, and if the edit used is released 2 weeks in advance, then I'll sign up.

Sigh.... My idea for this game came from the idea for you guys(the more exp. players) to be kinda like teachers for the new/returning players. does it really matter what server type it is played on or the edit type?

Now that I have a bit of my composure back I'll go into a bit more detail.

I refuse to teach a player how to play a high turn game. Anything more than 3k sectors is too many turns in my book. If they want to play a high turn game, then I'm not the person to be teaching them. Maybe you should recruit Zarkahn or Prom for that.

I refuse to teach a player a game that I myself don't know how to play myself. v2 settings (planet move delays, photon delays, attack delays) is not Tradewars in my opinion.

Good teachers looks over the material and learn it well before they try to teach the students. If I don't have the edit in advance it's very hard to teach someone how it should be played.

Now you can take this as me being hard to get along with if you want to, but those are the things that are a must for me to play in a tournament. If these things are too difficult for others to agree with, then by all means have a great game and I'll just watch from the sidelines.

Well honestly I couldn't tell the deference between a ver 1 or ver 2 server. that's part of why I want to do this. As far as the game it self I was thinking a more stock edit with maybe shorter build times and maybe some slighty modded ships. and 1500-2000k turns and if it the edit needs to be out there for a couple weeks before I don't see a problem in a 5000k game. these are my thoughts about an edit. tell me if theres anything you don't like. I would really like to see this game happen. So lets work together to get everyone on board.
