    That's an acceptable insult now is it?

    A couple hours later, I'm going to modulate some of the values so that people's formulas have to be retooled.

    Maybe try the Xenobes again and see if they work on our current server.

    Gomez's worlds have been conquered and occupied by the merciful forces of the Wookiee Republic, and its' superior mapping data which made rapid occupation possible.

    We also picked off Colonel Mustard's world that Bailey snatched up.

    I had visitors at my home, they played while they were here. They left. So I got punished for having visitors?

    Why don't we keep playing until we have the specifics for the next universe worked out?

    I'd like to see a 10,000 sector galaxy and a max pop of 1 billion colonists per planet. :)

    For the next round, would it be possible to increase the number of characters/spaces allowed in planet names? Nothing too crazy, just maybe 5-10 extra would be nice.

    Also, would it be possible for the transfer/trading menus to recognize commas? For example, when I try placing 75,000 fighters on a planet, only 75 are actually placed. It cuts off all the numbers after the comma for some reason. The IGB can recognize commas, however. :unsure:

    And I agree that a bigger galaxy would be more fun.

    how about we start at a time when everyone will be home, like 7 or 7:30, or on the weekend?

    I agree. Either the weekend, or earlier in the day, would be better for me.

    And I still don't understand what a Xenobe is...

    Nah, foil was there just seconds ago. Scanned him a few times, didn't have the heart to attack him.

    I too would like to see a little discussion about what settings to modify for game #3, rather than just having it declared by TPTB.

    For instance, I'd be in favor of either keeping max pop/planet the same or lowering it back to 100M. Bigger universe than this time. For starters.

    ^I actually think it would be cool to have 10 billion colonists max per planet, and increase the number of planets per system.

    Well, for one, what is 7:30 here is about 11:30 in England or 4:30 in California.

    Secondly, I work weekends.

    7 or 8 EST will give everyone a chance to start when they aren't sleeping. I'll pretty much be awake up until 1 am EST, but not everyone will.
