Need a host for this game, any reliable sysop want to take on this challange? If you've never hosted a dupe chess before its alot of work to get it setup, but it makes for an amazing time. Starting planet is a "King" starting postion above corporate planet, and I dunno about port density, what do you think guys? You guys want Chess 2 thats fine with me I can have sysop turn off aliens, lets have a vote, Chess Orig or Chess 2? Need some more coprs to sign up, please sign up using the Dupe Chess 2010 :: Open Invite post to sign up, right now I believe 5 teams...

I vote chess, more ships

Helix

I vote chess, as well.

as for port density, I think any value above 60% would be a good start

Ill toss my hat in for Hosting. Server is repaired. Ill have it online again tomorrow night.

Guys was just checking post we have 6 teams of 4 currently signed up to play the Dupe Chess game! Should make for a heck of a time! Anyone who wants to play remember you dont necessarily have to have 4 players you can dupe all 4 accounts if you want! I heard a few people mention intrest in the game that have not signed up for the game! Please use the Dupe Chess 2010 :: Open Invite post to sign up! Lets have a blast and I am working with a Sysop now with a newly upgraded lighting fast server! Will announce offically when all the speicifcs are down! Lets make this a game to remember! Dont forget this game doesnt start til the following Friday of the end of the Big Game so dont worry about having to play two tournaments at once!

Hope to #sd# you there!

LoneStar has an issue with starting time of 9:30 pm est which I can understand, anyone else have a problem with doing the start earlier? And any votes on what time? Oh and btw need someone to step up and host, sysop backed out... any body intrested please pm me

You might ask sing.

lawlz

/obvious troll is obvious

Yea sorry didnt know there was that much involved in setting up chess game. I wouldnt have time to set it up.

None from me. Would be good to have LS in the game.
I'll work around any time to get as many decent players in as possible.
No probs with the loss of host, more time to sort out a more convienient time for everyone.
Something will turn up im sure.

Ok guys just wanted to update everyone I have spoken with LoneStar still going to play but no longer bringing his own team. Sing will be hosting game and will offically start 9 PM est Friday. Its not 8 PM but its not 9:30 either! I have spoken to several people and this time seems to be right in the middle! Game will proablly open at 8:50 PM with no turns and will cycle at 9 PM, just depends on what is easier for Sing, i'll be in touch! If you know anyone who wants to have fun... NOW IS THE CHANCE!

Where is Gemini, Father Cajone? Someone call Res and make him put the EVE Crack down and come back to TW METH Would be nice for Eminem to come around too, he was always up for a good Chess game... lets make it count and have some fun!

5k ore and location is randomly picked by game op

/Whispers to game op "pls put Xanos in MSL"
hehe

Ok, I've not heard much about this yet, so I'm not sure wtf is going on. I'm not going to be at keys tonight during any of
the potential bang times, and it's hardly fair to bang the game when only 1 or 2 ppl can be there. So there-in lies a problem.

I guess I should take a step out and organize this a little better, if ender doesn't mind.

Problem 1: If I create the corps and ppl, I have to have a way to get the passwords to you. That would be ICQ, so I need
everyone's ICQ. I don't currently have that for everyone. If you'd rather I use a specific username and password, message
one to me and I'll use that one instead.

I'm not sure it's a good idea to precreate everyone's account, since the names may change and it's a PITA to create 30 ppl
(more prone to error). My thought is to create 1 CEO account for every corp, put that person at their corp planet (in sector)
and then let everyone else join as needed. People can join and do a TA, then mow to their CEO to start. Piece of cake. After
everyone is joined, I'll close the game. Will be 4 people per corp, so that won't be a problem. Dupe, actual players, whatever,
fill out your corp.

As for settings:
"Chess" edit
4 per corp
10k sectors
900 turns
3 day bank
King planet - Random location, lv5, 5k ore, 2.5m creds, 50k figs
Port density 60%
Eprobe delay - 1sec
MBBS
ISPs on
100% port regen

So far I see these 6 captains:
SG
Lonestar
Kaus
Stockton
Butcher
Xanos

Is that correct?

As for bang time, let's find a bang that everyone can attend. It seems that too late is bad, so I'm thinking 7 or 8pm (EDT). If
so, we need to pick day. I'd be happy to do it as early as tomorrow, or any day after that. But it's probably best not to wait
till the very last minute.
