I like the idea.
Weekly turns seems to me a long time.

If one of my other PBW games ends before this starts I'd been into this. Although I'd suggest 72 hour turns and a ban on treaties between non team members. (to stop 3 teams ganging up on one)

[Baron Grazic]

Turn times can be discused too.
Perhpas a ban on any treaties above T&R?

Fine with me.
What about exchange techs, gifts and population between teams?? Think should be Banned too...

Exchanging techs and gifts (supporting each other) are a major part of the fun beeing a team. As for colony tech and population, both players could be forced to take the same planet type and atmosphere.

BTW:
I would like to join if this don't start until mid August (and I can find a partner )

[Baron Grazic]

If T&R treaty is the highest level 'between' other teams, then it seems only common sense that they wouldn't trade technology, planets, etc.

1 team so far. Team OZ, consisting of Baron Grazic and Princess Xanthea.

Grab yourself a partner & sign up, MB.

For someone as worthy as you Primative... No, because I would like to win the game.
I haven't set a start date yet, so grab yourself a Partner (which won't bew hard for you) and sign up.

Sorry if the post was not clear (very usual to me!), but I was talking about exchange population/gifts/techs with enemy's teams, not with your parthner...

[Master Belisarius]

I'll sign... and Thermo will be my partner.

OK team two is on the board
