I forgot how to play, but I'll show up... I think Cruncher is coming too...

This game is sounding better every minute.

I would think not having those two corps would be a selling point. But it's kind of short notice to get the word out.

Do you need people to rsvp, or can they just show up and play?

RSVP not required. I say we figure out a start time here, and if someone/team wants to play they show up at that time (or later) and have fun.
I agree that it's a chance for some new blood to show their skills.

Does it traditionally start midnight October 31, ie, midnight the night of Halloween?

Since it's late starting to promote this tournament, I'd suggest starting on or after Halloween. I've already posted on facebook that it would be starting on Halloween, and I thought the question would be at what time.

31st sounds fine, but midnight is not gonna happen Feel free to start then, I might login automatically, but I will just log back out to accumulate turns. Guess I need to write me a script, once in to log me back out.... lol

I was just grabbing a time,.. but it can be adjusted if the players would rather a morning or evening start time. I'm happy with any start time that's agreed on, and will adjust the announcement to reflect, but let's do it soon.

6 or 7 gives enough time for people to get in get to dock and make a little cash.

In honor of the original game, I'll keep the 7:30pm start time.

Do we want to start the 31st, or maybe the 29th so we have the weekend to play?

No preference from me, I will more than likely just be target practice for someone

I've decided on Saturday Night. I'd rather have to move the date back, than forward. If we can get it organized by then let's go.
I've already banged it, and set it to activate on the 29th at 7:30pm (Thank you JP for that ability!)
I turned off ship delay, and set starbase strength to something other than 0, not sure why SG set it to that, but I don't want to allow the dock to blow easy.

That's a new setting, so it was probably not set at all in the TWA.

Hopefully that's an artifact of the fact that the TWA was saved out during a mid-beta version on twgs.classictw.com, so it didn't go through the proper data import procedures on the latest version. Maybe keep an eye on that to see if any other older TWAs come in with 0 port strength. That shouldn't happen. Should be 100% for anything prior to like TWGS v2.08, and rare after that.

I guess you should look over all the settings to make sure nothing else is funky.
