Hi People,
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Well, let's see, The Autohost All-Round Player Tournament is at a
last call stage (races for Round#1, Spars!) will be called for on
March 22nd. This is an intermediate/advanced player competition.

This is a three game committment, however, there has been slight
adjustments in the rules:

Round#1, Spars!
Universe Size: Huge (Medium sparse remapped into a huge(7) universe.

Race Restrictions, No Claim Adjusters, No Jack of all Trades (with
LRT, No Advanced Scanners)

Round#2, God Loves Dice
Universe Size: Medium Sparse

Race Restrictions: The host will generate 16 random races (same set
for all players) you will choose one race of the set to play.

Round#3, Core!
Universe Size: Medium (Huge Normal, Maximum minerals remapped into a
medium universe.)

Race Restrictions, No Claim Adjusters, No Jack of all Trades (with
LRT, No Advanced Scanners)

Each round will play in succession for 80 turns, with a slight
overlap, when the early turns are being played in a round. The
intention is to complete all three rounds within the space of one
year.

The Highest Ranking overall player will be declared Autohost's All-
Round Player for the year ;-)

Victory Conditions: see below

The Mystery Traders are retiring! They've spent eons amassing
tremendous fortunes of minerals from hopeful Stars players and have
decided to buy a nice little galaxy and spend the rest of their days
watching the various surfs roll in from myriad beaches on hundreds of
worlds. They realize, though, that they are leaving behind a niche
market and that it will need to be filled.

To that end, they have selected the likeliest races as potential
successors and have outlined the following rules:

1. Any single race or combination of up to four races can win the
competition
2. Any multi-race team cannot have duplication of PRTs
3. All of the following victory conditions must be met to be declared
the MT successors:
a. Resource production of 1 million or greater
b. Tech level 26 in all categories
c. Possession of at least 6 discrete MT toys (The MT Lifeboat and MT
Scout count as a single discrete toy each, as does the Metamorph hull
for any race/team that does not include an HE)

Please send your passworded race files to me at bigEDog AT prodigy
DOT net. I will keep a list of passwords to facilitate the transfer
of races from players that drop (because there's always at least
one). No player may play more than a single race. Please include your
Autohost handle in the body of your email so I know who you are, and
use the subject line "ITES!" so I don't accidentally delete your
email.

I've asked that there be no pregame alliances. To that effect, I hope
to see a wide variety of PRTs in the game and some great treaty
negotiation among players. If end up with 10 CA races, that means 10
teams (remember, no PRT duplication in a team), so try and show some
imagination.
