Hi Again :-)
Just rifling through the new games at Autohost Forum, there are quite
a few new games announced there.. summertime :-)

I will give listing here as well:

For Intermediates:
Critical Mass: by Gible
For Intermediates:
Poes Quest: by Ashlyn (almost filled)
For Beginners:
Stars! Newbie Challenge: by Ashlyn (almost filled)
Open Experience Level:
Slugfest: by Ashlyn (almost filled)

The descriptions:
Critical Mass:

Skill Level: Intermediate or less. (preferably no complete newbies)

A game where those who have jobs and lives outside of stars! can fight
it out within the tight and limiting confines of only a few worlds.
Average planet density is 11-14 planets/player. SinicalIdealist
think's that this idea should allow the maximal amount of PRT and race
design flexibility (w/ the exception of CA).


The game will be hosted on Autohost.
First turns will be daily up until approximately 2430.
From 2430 onward, generation will be Monday through Friday.
At 2460 it will be possible to begin voting for change to 3 gens per
week (Monday, Wednesday, Friday), requiring a majority of remaining
players to agree before changing.
Any player who misses more than 4 turns consecutively will
automatically be switched to inactive.
Willing 3rd party hosts preferred. Otherwise, I will be hosting.

Universe Size: Variable
- 4-5 Players => Tiny packed

AccBBS checked

No restrictions on race design.
No cheats except chaff, split fleet allowed

Pre-game alliances are also not allowed.

Special rules:

After the year 50
(play starting from the year when in-game message screen shows "2451"),
you cannot have more than 1 race set to friend at the same time, the
rest must be set to enemy.

After 50 you also cannot set new race to friend more often than in 10
years, e.g. if you set race1 to friend in 2460, you cannot set anyone
else to friend until 2470, no matter what your relations with race1 are.

Battleplan tricks used to trade/unite fleets with "enemy" races aren't
allowed either.

Gens on autohost, every 24hours. After 2430 or so, the game can be
switched to 48h on any player's request. Further schedule changes can
be arranged by voting, but I hope they won't be necessary Smile

Suggestions regarding the gen plan are welcomed Smile
