Hi everyone
          I am looking for an urgent replacement for a special theme
game.. A galaxy previously occupied by the 7 diverse and idealogically
opposed tribes of man is under attack from alien invaders. (7 races.)
The aliens are the players and the tribes of man (the slaves ) were run
by the host .. The game is at 2550 and is fully nubian and very much at
war. The aliens must have everyone set to enemy..
        The player of the empire of the Xur has had to drop for personal
reasons and the game is on hold until I can find a replacement..
According to the recent discussions the players are at the good
intermediate to advanced level (includes several regular NG
contributors) and the game requires a high degree of commitment
although it only generates 3 days per week..
       If you are interested I will send the M files for the  race which
is IT and currently in 5 th place and the slave which is IS and in 6th
place.. I will also provide the background and the rules.. you can then
make up your mind and any new player will have a two year grace period
to assimilate the game..
       I would like to fill this place before the coming weekend and
therefore urge interested players to reply on an urgent basis to
chubbybob@...

Just the one for today. I have set up something that should be fun/useful
for you to use. Read the note at the bottom. the note will be there for the
duration as I have new players/hosts joining this list all the time.

Read on.

************************************************

The race in need of replacement is coming last but is also a very important
player as the only turn coat for the "Advanced" player in this game. Because
you see the advanced player isn't coming first and is running out of time so
he needs all the help he can get.

Beginners Day Out is the name of the game, check out:

I dont believe the timing of the add that has just arrived on the newsgroup.
If he had only been a few minute's quicker I could have added it to my first
posting to you lot.  :(

Anyway, here it is. Red hot and straight from the press.

Read on and enjoy.

***********************************************

I'm resuming my occasional series of Stars! PBEM games for newbies.

Only conditions are as follows:
- players should have completed between 0 and 3 multiplayer Stars! games
- players should be able to meet turn deadlines (always 12noon GMT weekdays)
- players should be running the latest version of Stars! (currently 2.6i or
2.7i)

Galaxy size will be determined by the number of players (usually 4-6 per
game)

Turns to be submitted via e-mail (those using Netscape's Email client will
need to zip files before sending them)

If enough people are interested in playing using the demo, I'll set up
separate games for that purpose.

If you've never played Stars!, or have tried it but not given it a chance to
sink in you can grab the demo from
http://beast.webmap.com/stars!/

If you've any queries or would like to join a game contact me at
andy@...

Games will commence whenever I have enough interested players.

Talk about blisters. I rubbed my typing fingers to the bone getting this

Its only the one again but I assure you that it will pick up again.

************************************************

So we may debate endless about these things - but wouldn't it be better to
test it out in a real game, as you can't make the AI to use the additional
rules?

So I'm looking for a host and some players to test some of these things
out - sadly I couldn't do the hosting because of technical problems and time
restrictions.

Waiting for your enthusiastic response ...

Off Topic. - Do any of you know how to put one big background picture on a

asking on here but im getting desperate for an answer.

************************************************

This game currently has three players who have agreed to a few alterations,
including wanting a slighly more players with 2 CAs to increase the
reliablity of the CA test.

So here are the revised specs.

I'm setting this game up primary to test out my new CA restriction rule so
most of the game parameters are open for negotiation. I was hopping for a
fairly quick game so -

Game Parameters:
Number of players: 4 - 6
Skill: Advanced to Expert
Universe: I was thinking small/normal( 4 ) or small/packed ( 5 or 6 ), BBS,
Distant ( anything not included
is not checked )
Winner by concensus.
Game schedual: Generated 24 hours after the last gen or when all players are
in.

Race restrictions -
CA must have each of it's hab fields pressed up against either the left or
right side. By definition full width and immunities count as pressed up
against the side.
Both NRSE and IFE together cannot both be chosen for any race.
JOAT cannot choose NAS.

Special Rules -

This game must have 1 CA ( 1 - 4 players ) or 2 ( 5 - 6 players ). Players
should tell me if they wish to play a CA. If more than the required number
of players wants to play a CA then it will be randomly decided between them.
If less than the required CAs then one or more of the other players will be
randomly selected to play a CA. If you are chosen for a CA then you will
need to include a short description on the reasoning behind your CA race
design. I will aslo be expecting some feedback on completion of the game as
to how balanced the CA seemed.

This game should begin in a week if it has more than 4 players or earlier if
it fills.

Here's another two to wet your appetite

*************************************************

I need a replacement leader for 2 games, for the period from
9/24 to 10/11. Both games are in the 2480's and are being played at
AutoHost on a 48 hour cycle, so only 7-8 turns are involved. One game is IT
and the other is SS.

Neither game is terribly time comsuming, roughy only an hour every two days.

If you can help fill in any part of this and want more info, please contact
me.

Thanks in advance

Replacement needed for a large universe game with only
four players left...

I just wrapped up all my games.. I have been in ~ 5-6, lost most. Got
control
of moderate monster economy down pat, still learning about counter design
and
effective concentration of force.

but I travel a bit.  What is the gen rate? likley to be 48 hours soon if not
already?
Also, I can handle any encoding format for the turn files, but it is a
hassel
if not mime.
Still looking/ interested?

I have four for you today. Three from the newsgroup and one from my form
(Thanks Julius).
Read on and enjoy.

**************************************************

Due to my summer fortnights holiday I need replacements for 2 of my games.

1. Primitives At War. Temporary Replacement preferably? I'm in the top
three of a game hosted by myself. Small universe. 8 players left. Limited
technology rules that I will explain. Year 2466. At war with one other race
in early stages. My race is a HE with quite a few planets and (I believe)
scope to win this game. You can replace me temporarily or permanently, and
take over hosting & playing or just playing.

2. Death and Decay 3. Temporary or Permanent Replacement. Sixth place in a
long running game on Autohost. Year 2558, large universe about 6-7 players
left. Inner Strength, in an alliance with 1 player (positions 6 and 5 I
think) and we are at war with another alliance (pos. 3+4?). We are winning
so far. The top 2 players are at war with each other, just started. This
game could go any way but my chances of a win are slim. I will have an
influence though, or my 1000+ Nubians will. Maxed out tech levels. Low on
minerals.

Please let me know soon, I go away Friday.

Hi.  I am new to this news group.  I am looking

game conditions to our conditions, so everyone
can see updated scores every year).  I currently
have over 300 Capital Ships, over 50k resources,

Well here I am again with yet another two game adds for you to peruse. Time
to go. Im off to build a big Ark type boat in my back yard.  ;)

*******************************************************

Hi,

   I want to host a Stars! game using Jason Cawley's Star
Trek scenario and am looking for intermediate players to
fill out the roster.  If I get enough players I'll run
multiple versions of the scenario to accomodate as many
players as possible.

   By intermediate I'm looking for;

   1. You know what chaff is and how to use it.
   2. You can build a monster and play it well.
   3. You've played in at least one multiplayer
      Stars! game previous to this.

   I'd also like players who are familiar with Star Trek and
can assume the personality of any of the races included in
the scenario (Romulan, Klingon, Fed, Vulcan, Borg).  It's
not required.  The rules pretty much set the atmosphere.

   You can find Jason's description of the scenarion in DejaNews
under the heading ' New "Scenario"-type game ready, if a host
is interested in running it ' on 21 May 1999.  I have the files
and am ready to start.

   The schedule would be Sunday through Thursday with a deadline
of 22:00 US ET (02:00 GMT Monday-Friday).

   Later in the game, when things become complicated, we may go
to a turn per 2 days with no forced generations occuring on
Friday or Saturday night.

   Race assignment would be 'random'.  If you are interested

}The host will be playing, so password your races.   The game will run
on autohost as soon as it is available...   but I will generate the
first few turns myself if we are ready to start before a slot opens up.

}PPS will not be checked, but fairly easy victory conditions will be
used.  These victory conditions will not determine the winner....   but

be met around 2440 - 2450

}This game is for advanced and better players.  What do I mean by this?
If you have won a game at the Intermediate level, you are probably an
Advanced player...   at least as I intend for this game...   however if
you are unsure about any of the following, you probably shouldn't sign
up for this game.

1) You should know what chaff is and how to use it.
2) You should be able to build a 25k/2450 race using each/any PRT (with
the
POSSIBLE exception of AR)
3) You should be able to build a -F 25k/2450 race
4) You should be able to build a HP 25k/2450 race
5) You should know (without looking) how many nexi/sbc's are needed for
a nubian to beat the hull initiative of a BB.
6) You should know what population level percentage (% full) yeilds the
highest percentage population growth.
7) You should know what an Energy Dampener does.
8) You should know the 'other' ability of an AR colony ship.
9) You should know what the maximum beam dammage increase can be from
any amount of capacitors.   (to ask the question another way, when you
exceed a certain number of capacitors, the new ones will have absolutely

no effect on dammage.  What is that number?)
10) You should think that I left out a lot of things on this list.

this is not a quiz), but if you don't know these things, please dont
join.

If you'd like to join, email me.

One final note:   My first post for this game drew a great deal of
comment for the guidelines I set forth above.   Some thought they were
reasonable, some did not.  I would be interested in hearing from anyone,
but especially from expert and advanced players, as to exactly what
guidelines would be "better" for a game such as I am trying to set up.

Well here I am again with yet another two game adds for you to peruse. Time
to go. Im off to build a big Ark type boat in my back yard.  ;)

*******************************************************

Hi,

   I want to host a Stars! game using Jason Cawley's Star
Trek scenario and am looking for intermediate players to
fill out the roster.  If I get enough players I'll run
multiple versions of the scenario to accomodate as many
players as possible.

   By intermediate I'm looking for;

   1. You know what chaff is and how to use it.
   2. You can build a monster and play it well.
   3. You've played in at least one multiplayer
      Stars! game previous to this.

   I'd also like players who are familiar with Star Trek and
can assume the personality of any of the races included in
the scenario (Romulan, Klingon, Fed, Vulcan, Borg).  It's
not required.  The rules pretty much set the atmosphere.

   You can find Jason's description of the scenarion in DejaNews
under the heading ' New "Scenario"-type game ready, if a host
is interested in running it ' on 21 May 1999.  I have the files
and am ready to start.

   The schedule would be Sunday through Thursday with a deadline
of 22:00 US ET (02:00 GMT Monday-Friday).

   Later in the game, when things become complicated, we may go
to a turn per 2 days with no forced generations occuring on
Friday or Saturday night.

   Race assignment would be 'random'.  If you are interested
please send me a list of races you'd like to play in order of
preference.  If you are the only one who wishes to play a
specific race, or your preference value is higher for a specific
race, you will get it.  If there is more than one person
interested in playing a race it will be a roll of the dice.

   I will not be playing in the game but will watch the game
as the 'Aliens'.  As the Aliens I will only build planetary
installations, unarmed starbases and scouts to further my
view of the universe.

Game name: dirty vicious little game

Number of players: 10

skill level: intermediate

Universe size: Medium

Density: Normal

Player positions: Close

Accelerated bbs play: Yes

Galaxy clumping: Yes

Other options and rules: Hi folks
        I need ONE more player for a game I will be starting next week..
We will play in a medium, normal, close, clumped galaxy with  BBS start
boxes marked.
The only allowed races are JOAT, IS, WM, SS
The MT may not be traded with until 2520...
You will be sent the first turn and then we will jump 100 years from then on
its a free for all the game can be won by an alliance of max two players and
no pre game alliances will be allowed.. If you look at the list of invites
you will see that many of us have played together before so there will be
plenty of time to settle old scores.. All alliances to be declared and fixed
by 2550. After this date you may not change alliances..
You will be sent the first year on which you can set research to lowest
field and you must destroy all ships in orbit..
Your production queue may contain only factories , mines, defences,
terraforming in case of mineral strikes during the 100 years ..
Ah one very important point. If you drop your race will be set to AI. If you
surrender and drop your race will be given to the race you surrender to as a
slave race .. You may then either drop or continue to play as a slave..

NB and this is very important.. Role play in this game will be excessive..
No matter how good a player you are, if role oplay is not your cup of tea do
not apply to play. You will not enjoy the game.. most of the current
`players are older players (as in years)

If you are interested mail me at the above mail address and i will reply

***************************************************

  The time has come for the Third round of the IROC series, IROC CA.

Quick breakdown:

Size: Small
Players: up to 16
Duration: 100 years
Victory Conditions: highest score after 100 years.
Special Rules: see below.
Host: AutoHost  (host may or may not play, depending on how many
players are involved)

This is the third game in a series.  In short, in each round, each
player gets an identical race file which they cannot change.  So, in
this game, each race will get exactly the same CA.
This round has a couple of special rules that differ from previous
rounds.  In particular, is the simple rule that in year 1, everyone is
REQUIRED to set every other race to "enemy", and it must remain that
way for the duration of the game.  Also, while previous rounds ran 150
years, this one will run 100 years.

Complete game rules and concept can be found at the magic of stars

Replacement needed for a large universe game with only
four players left...

SS race, HP design
rank2, well ahead of #3 but far behind #1
peace on all fronts

Two players have just given up, the race in question
is in perfect position to capture their territories;
theoretically its possible to even outproduce the
leading player.

So why do I want to give it away?

Because things are becoming very time-consuming.
Whoever takes over should be aware that controlling
150 planets not only sounds cool but also means a lot
of work.

More information upon request.

  Welcome to the new games list and thankyou for following me across. The
sending of this mail should take just a second rather that 20 minute's as it
was doing before. Doing what I have done has made it so I can afford to keep
"The List" going for all you Stars/SN fans out there. I have noted that just
in the first day, 60 of you have all ready re-applied and im sure that once
the rest have read there email there will be a lot more re-join.
  Ok, I have only two Stars adds for you tonight but im sure there will be
plenty more shortly. In the mean time, read on and enjoy.

**************************************************

I can't verify some of these things now. If, when I get home and try
to set up the game, I realize I can't, I'll post an addendum. Also,
I'll have a webpage up sometime this weekend with all the info, that
I'll post here.

Name: All full
Small, sparse universe.
16 players.
Distant starting positions (as if it matters :)
Acc BBS.
Random events on.
PPS off.
No other options will be checked.
The host (me) will be playing. I will check the race files, but will
only verify that the race you submit is an IT and that it's hab is
correct. I will be putting pieces of tape on my monitor to hide the
PGR and points left, and I will not check any screens besides the two
posted above. If you don't trust me, don't play. I have a lot better
things to do than cheat in a game.

Winner will be decided by popular vote. Anyone can, at any time, make
an EVERYBODY statement to the effect that they want votes. Any
information (# inhabited planets, capital ships, etc) can be provided,
or even lied about, at the proposers discrecion.
When you get the EVERYBODY statement that says a race is to be voted
on, you must send an in-game email to EVERYBODY with the name of the
race proposing the win and a yes or no. If you do not send the mail,
you are counted as a no vote.
More than 1/2 of live players must vote for the same player as winner
before a winner is declared. Example, with 16 players left, there are
16 voters (You can vote for yourself). At least 8 of them must agree
with you, with your vote being the 9th. With 2 players left, you must
convince the other player to vote for you or you can't win ("Come on.
It's 3498... Just vote for me already!").

PPS will be turned off, but early into the game everybody should be
able to scan everybody else's planets, unless you abandon stargates,
so it should be pretty obvious who is in the lead, and pretty hard to
disguise information.

Race Restrictions:
You MUST BE an IT. You cannot play this game unless you play IT.
Rad, Temp, and Grav settings MUST be narrowed to the minimum, then
slid over to the left as far as they will go. Every race will have
these settings, giving this game 16 1-world-wonder races that actually
have 32 worlds that they can live on, with the one problem that all 32
of those worlds are already inhabited. Your expected range of
habitability should say 1/172 (IIRC).

Game Restrictions:
Alliances of any kind are allowed, but alliances cannot win. Only a
single player can win. Players can attempt to bribe other players in
any in-game way to get the vote. (Vote for me or I'll smack your
homeworld with a Warp 14 packet. Vote for me, and if I don't win I'll
give you 1000kt of Ironioum).

Generations:
Turns will be generated Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 7:00 am
Eastern time, which is, I think, about 12 noon UT. If all turns are in
by late Saturday night, I will also generate then (But the new turns
will still be due Monday at 7:00 am, so don't turn in your turn if you
know you won't be able to do another turn on Sunday). For the first 5
generations, I will take care of any transport difficulties with any
players. After that, I will not wait for anything. If you don't like
this rule, don't play. Too many games have died because of sporadic
turn generation, and this will not be one of them.
For the first 20 years, turns will be force generated 4 years/turn
(Taking 5 'generations' to go 20 years). Then, turns will be generated
at 1 turn/generation from then on. Any tricks you want to use for
sneak attacks or whatever during those first 20 years is just fine by
me.

Remember, by narrowing your hab ranges, you're getting a lot of extra
points in the race wizard to play with. Use them wisely, because
everybody else gets the same points.

One last thing. As host, I may need eyes in the game. As a fairly
piss-poor player, I may die early :) Therefore, if I'm in peril of
dying, I'm going to build 4 scouts and send them to the 4 corners of
the galaxy. Please don't attack these scouts as they're just my way of
keeping tabs after I'm dead and gone.

Perhaps, after the game, we'll have everybody email me with what their
strategy was, how well that strategy panned out, and what they would
do differently if they could. Then, if enough people want to, we'll do
it again!

--Parallax -  parallax@...

****************************************************

I'm the host for a Stars! game, and we are looking for a replacement
player.

The game perameters are as follows:

Universe Size:  Medium
Density:  Normal
Player Position:  Farther
Accelerated BBS Play
11 Players total (8 human, 3 computer)
Skill Level:  Beginner
Current Year:  2465
No public scores

Winning Conditions:
Has the highest score after 150 years.

We take 1 turn a day, which I generate at noon Mountain Standard Time,
which is 2:00pm Eastern Standard Time.  Players are responsible for
getting their turns in by that time.  I only generate new turns on
weekdays (Monday through Friday), with the exception of any US national
holidays.

Turns are delivered and submited via an FTP site.  It is pretty
convenient.

I should note that I am also a player in the game.

We had a player drop out because of time constraints.  We need a
replacement player to take over his race.  Since I am also a player in
the game, I will contact the old player and have him e-mail his
password, and any other important information to the new player. Also,
since I am a player in the game, I have no idea what the current
ranking is for this player, what his race is, etc.  Although, I'm
guessing that his race is currently ranked somewhere in the middle.

If you are interested, please e-mail me ASAP at:
brad.worthen@...

Thanks!
