TL;DR:
- FoF disabled
- Double Beams enabled

This is a game for serious players who don't quit.

DIE HARD GAME GOALS, RULES AND CONDITIONS
Goal:
We are looking to recruit players for a "DIE HARD" game. Players that are willing to play a game out to the end no matter what. No quitters, droppers, idlers, resigners, permanent holiday moders, etc. We the people of Planets.NU community have become increasingly frustrated with players quitting when they still have plenty of strength left, and so we looking to create a game that will not have this issue.
Game Setup:
1. The game will be setup the same as a standard planets.nu officers game: 500 planets, the usual 11 races, Fascists' Double Beams enabled, FoF disabled, standard map size (irregular round), Max Allies = 1 for victory conditions. All other forms of diplomacy will be permitted as well.
2. Schedule will be 2 turns per week hosting Wednesday and Saturday. Hopefully the early turns will run faster, but not guaranteed.
3. This game will be run as a public game if people so enough interest, so you will earn achievement, campaign resources, and have it listed on your profile.
4. To keep things fair for all players in the game, only premium planets.nu members should join, and you should plan to maintain your membership for the duration of the game.
Rules:
You should agree to the following conditions before requesting a slot:
1. YOU WILL NOT QUIT. The whole reason this game is being created is to find a group of players that can take a hit (or a severe beating) and keep on fighting. You should understand that you quitting takes away from the enjoyment of others in the game, and should enjoy playing even when you are unlikely to win. You agree to not resign, or stop playing while remaining in the game (including holiday mode) in any fashion.
2. NO PRE-FORMED ALLIANCES. Its OK having friends in the game, but you must agree to join the game as independent players, open to alliance or combat with everyone else in the game. If the situation in the game is a good one for you and your friend to end up allying, more power to you, but otherwise you should be willing to work with other players as allies and fight your friends.
If you agree to the above and would like to play in a game with others who feel the same, look below in this thread to see what races are spoken for, then reply with your choice of the remaining races, and we will reserve that spot for you. You can give multiple races ranked first choice to last choice if you'd like, since this is all first come first serve.
A couple other notes:
1. OK, we may let you resign if your situation has become truly hopeless. Something along the lines of "I have only 3 barren planets with 10 clans each and my only ship is a fuelless probe I accidentally shot off the side of the map." If you really want out, post in the game forum and the other players can vote to approve your release or not.
2. Real life issues can cause people to have to quit. That's understandable, but please give us notice so that the game can be paused while the replacement is hunted down. In utopia, you will find your own replacement.
3. If you do quit for any reason except the above, you can expect to be taunted, mocked, insulted, and discredited in the public forums, as well as any threads for any other games you are in. You may also find players from this game joining other games you are in with the sole purpose of hunting you down.
4. While not a strict requirement, this game is meant to draw upper-level players. You should be aware that the competition will (hopefully) be tougher than what you'll typically find in the public games. If you haven't managed to pull off a win in a public game, this may not be a good one for you to join.
5. The game may be paused occasionally at the request of a player who, for whatever reason, may not be able to get their turns completed on schedule for a short time. It is expected that these pauses will be infrequent and brief. All requests for a pause will be voted on by the players in the game, though assuming most will be granted unless they become excessive.
The game will begin once all of the races are taken.

All DIE HARD are being included in the DIE HARD ranking ladder by Big Beefer, so you can see how you compare to the other DIE HARD players. It may also be used in the future to select players for DIE HARD "championship" games, while otherwise outstanding performance may be commemorated with different kinds of awards, such as "Good Guy" -award and "The Last Breath" -award. And, lastly, there is also the black list of oath breakers who’s names should not be spoken ever again inside the halls of DIE HARD community. |
