    #1 Next game starts?

    #2 Is it open to Wordforgers only? What I mean by that is the game annouced to the general public or only here on the forge?

    I expect the next game to start soon.

    I don't see why it can't be open to non-WF'ers.

    When the board goes down it still runs. :)

    Though if Nick is planning on making the map as small as he said (1000 sectors, IIRC), it might get a bit crowded if we have too many extra players...

    I think a 2000-2500 sector map might be better, about half what we have now.

    Next time I want Xenobes.

    Give everyone someone to fight, hopefully.

    But I don't want a smaller galaxy, and I would like scrambled sectors - how can you have a secret rebel base if you can't hide it somewhere?

    I'm not looking for extra players just I saw a lof of names on the list and was wondering how many were non-WF'ers.

    I think most of 'em are ours, just some aren't using their usual handles - Foley is foil1212, for example, and Bertie Bassett is Ecky.

    I'm going by "Daedalus" in game (something went wrong ;) ) and "hazZzard" is my flatmate so there's at least one non-WFer. :shrug:

    Karrde is actually my brother. He's an alright fellow, though wife and school have prevented him from doing much.

    If you actually CLICK on the 'Black Nova Traders' link, it has a FAQ section.

    I've got a co-worker who wants to join in the next game. Decent enough guy. Bit of a geek, but who here isn't?

    Get in the game now and start practicing before the reset. The instructions are short. As in non-exsistant. ;)

    Yeah--forgot about those. Deleted that Trade Route so it won't happen again. Sorry about your 200+ million mines.
