New PBEM/PBW Game: Adamant 011

[Fyron]

New game using Adamant Mod! Who wants in?

This will be an alpha test game for Adamant Mod. You can get the mod from its website. The game will likely be processed manually, so as to prevent having to constantly bug Geo to upgrade the mod on PBW.

The official game forum was located at:

http://www.spaceempires.net/home/mod...viewforum&f=14

Please do not use the PBW forum, as I will only look at it very, very infrequently.

Make sure to read the Empire Setup file in the Help folder, and follow the guidelines in it. Specifically, you are required to list all advanced racial traits you chose in the Biological Description portion of your empire file. And, don't take more than one basic race trait (Physical, Organic, Magic) and do not take more than one of the Natives trait types.

No duplicate ship sets allowed. Make sure to select the set you are using when you upload your empire file from the drop down list (even if it is a Stock set).

Population trading is disallowed. You may not trade population with other empires, period.

Surrender is disallowed. Therefore, gifting all of your planets, ships, etc. to another empire, which is an attempt to subvert this rule, is also disallowed. If you happen to see other players do this in the game, tell me, and I will investigate the situation. If this rule has been broken, I will upload an old turn to prevent it from happening, and I will consider kicking the offending players from the game.

If any player misses more than 4 turns in a row without any explanation, then I will kick him/her from the game. I have had problems with players in other games not sending any turns in for weeks, and I don't want it to happen here.

Please do not join this game if you plan on having a massive, pre-planned alliance (including, but not limited to, an alliance of 2 players). This game is not designed for that, and I would appreciate it if you do not ruin it for the rest of the players involved. If alliances happen to be started during the game, then that is not a problem.

Oh, and I forgot to mention that I would like to try to get this going on a 24 hour turn rate, to facilitate in the beta testing.

[Alneyan]

Out of idle curiosity... At what hour would be the deadline in the case of a 24h game? (With auto-processing on that is) I am asking this weird question to know if I could easily handle a turn each day, while the time here is not quite the same as yours.

At any rate, count me in, I should play this game, bar the unexpected that is.

[Fyron]

I don't know. But would it really matter? The hour would be different for any turn that everyone uploads a plr file.

[Atrocities]

Please count me in as well.

Thanks

Yes, you are right. *Grumbles* Forget about my initial question, it was my bad. I confused deadlines with something else that had nothing to do. Then plese count me in.

Hmm, I really shouldn't take on another PBEM game, seeing as I'm already in too many in PBW... but who knows how long PBW will be down, maybe it will be down until the end of the quarter... and I'm almost dead in "The Hunt"... OK, count me in!

[Fyron]

I'd like to get at least one player of each race type, and hopefully at least one using each of the racial tech traits, for a broad-spectrum test.

I have never played it before so I dont know how good I will be as a tester, but you can throw me in as a race that hasent been picked.
