Wait, I might have missed it, but do we "2nd gamers" have someone to send the race files to yet?

Don't be afraid to point me in the right direction. ~^.^~

Hi Fenrir,

the game is still open, but you may already send your race file and password to me at andreas(at)studnitz(dot)de.

Regarding Galaxy Clumping: I prefer it off. All other options are okay.
And I have no problem with starting at 5 turns a week, but I'd prefer if it is slowed down as soon as any player requests it.

OK, clumping off & no special requirements.

What about a game name?

Are you expecting me to host or just to do the setup/check races?

If you'd host the first game, I'd be happy with it. If it's too much work for you, I can take this over again.

Thanks,
Andreas

Do you still have room? If so, I'd like to play as well.

Hi Braindead,

sure, you are in.
There are now two spots left (I haven't heard from Marduk yet).

I'm sure Marduk wants in - he was gonna send me his race file (he didn't) - I said that he's in game 2.

Wizard, I'll host game 1 but I need a game name

I've been thinking about whether to play in game 2 myself. I've been waiting on Ptolemy's Primitive Two but I'm getting itchy fingers. If someone wants the last spot, fine - else I'll let you know in a couple of days.

Where/when do I need to send my race file? Can I password protect it or will there be someone checking to make sure the rules are met?

At this point I think I will just bow out and let someone else have the spot.

Okay.
This is the player list for game two:

- Fenrir
- torben
- Jan
- Braindead
- Joseph
- Alex (right?)

Please send the race files to me at andreas(at)studnitz(dot)de until next friday (Oct 26). If you set a password, please send the password along with your race. You won't need a password as the host won't be playing.

Alex: as a game name I suggest "Sixpack" (Sixpack1 and Sixpack2). Okay with that?

The game description looks fine.

I obviously made a mistake and overlooked crr65536's message. Anyone stepping out? Or do I have to kick out the last person on the list?
If so, I can easily start a third game, perhaps with 4 players and/or different rules. Is there any interest?

My level of interest for Game 2 is high but since the last spot rightfully belongs to crr65536 I will stand down. If there is a 3rd game I will join that.

Dashiva: Could you please send your race file to me at mcdonaldjm at optusnet dot com dot au. I assume you sent the PASSWORDED file to Wizard but without specifying what the password is - I will need to know that password.

I now have all race files for Game 1 other than Dashiva's.

Hi Dashiva,

I have forwarded the file to Alex.

I've sent the files to Ron.

I propose that turns be daily until 2430. Then if anyone (it only takes one) wants to slow down they need only say so.

OK?

Make that 2420 and I am fine with it. Turns after 2420 can already take some time.
