Default PBW - Star Control RP game

Greetings Hunam! How do you wish to torture me today?

You can't help but love the wacky races of the Star Control universe, so here's your chance to play as one of them in an SE4 game!

This game is no longer finite resources, as that setting doesn't seem to be very popular.

As would be usual with my games were I to host more of them, just about any game setting is open to change should a majority of players agree on a decision!

Roleplaying is encouraged in this game, it's half the fun of multiplayer SE4!

Note that this is a zero racial points game - it's more interesting when you have to sacrifice something to get that Organic Manipulation trait. Min/maxing is allowed only if it makes sense for your race (e.g. -50 Cunning is OK for Spathi but probably not for Melnorme!)

And it goes without saying that everyone has to pick a Star Control race for this game Not that you have to know everything there is to know about the Star Control universe - hey, I just found The Ur-Quan Masters (sc2.sourceforge.net) recently and I've only met about a half a dozen races!

Starting resources: 100000
Starting planets: 1
Home planet value: Good
Score display: Own
Technology level: Medium
Racial points: 0, count 'em, Zero
Quadrant type: Midlife
Quadrant size: Small if <6 players, Medium if 6-12 players, Large if >12 players
Event frequency: High
Event severity: High (those supernovas are no fun)
Technology cost: High
Victory conditions: None set in-game; we can decide on our own when the game is over
Maximum units: The max
Maximum ships: The max
Computer players: None
Computer difficulty: N/A
Computer player bonus: N/A
Neutral empires: None
Other game settings:
All Warp Points Connected
Warp Points Located Anywhere in System
Finite Resources
All Player Planets the Same Size
Empires Evenly Distributed Throughout Quadrant
No Tactical Combat (duh)
Players Can See Complete Tech Tree (you can look at the data files anyway)
Allow Gifts/Tributes (NOTE: this does NOT mean you can gift away your entire empire to your friend or any of the other sneaky gift tricks! You're on your honor.)
Allow Technology Gifts/Tributes/Trades
Allow Surrender (But only to the empire that defeated you)
Allow Intelligence
Using latest Version of FQM Gold, whatever that is

Note: If anyone wants to use a mod, feel free to ask - I'm kind of partial to Devnull at the moment, though the latest Version doesn't seem to be installed on PBW with SE4 1.84 at the moment... how DO they keep all those installations up anyway, must be gigabytes! (Then again they don't really have much use for the graphics files...)

All right, if I don't hear from anyone soon I'm just going to have to cancel the game... no sense cluttering up the PBW server, or my games list...

(Never seen a turnout THIS low before... usually someone at least Posts to the thread as to why they're not interested! )
