We are starting a game with a group of friends:...

We are starting a game with a group of friends: http://play.planets.nu/#/sector/181658

The game is open to up to 12 ppl, and "fairplay rules" are in effect to prevent friends from taking unfair advantages in the game:
- Max 1 ally
- Can't give your ships or planets to anyone except your ally (but you can trade them of course, this rule is meant to prevent a player dropping and leaving all his fleet to another for example).
- In general we will fight or ally with/against our friends depending on diplomacy and proximity, NOT just "we are friends so.
Probably declaring alliance early (lets say turn 30) when you are going to help/play with a friend could be a good idea.

Other suggestions for creating a "safe" environment for other players who wanna join?

Of course other groups of friends that wanna play together and want to stay in the spirit of this rules are welcome!

Why kill the borg? Ally with the borg and get fireclouds and biocides! Who wouldn't be more powerful with a fleet of fireclouds channeling your massive battle fleets wherever you want?
Really!

Erebus >> In general we will fight or ally with/against our friends depending on diplomacy and proximity, NOT just "we are friends so.
Probably declaring alliance early (lets say turn 30) when you are going to help/play with a friend could be a good idea.

If you want to equal out the big advantage of a pre-game alliance it has to be declared before game starts. Doing it in turn 30 is pointless because most of the advantage has already realized without other players being able to do countermeasures or generally decide if they want to join a game with pre-game alliances.

RE: We are starting a game with a group of friends:...

Hello @Emork !
that was not what I intended. We are 5 friends but we want to play AGAINST each other, depending on the situation on the map, and not create a big alliance playing against all others (else we would have created a 2 teams game!).

If I'm near a stranger and decide to play with him because is better for me, I will do that and NOT ally with any of my friends.
The "turn 30" idea was to put a limit intended if someone discovers he has a friend near and decides to play with him,which is different than allying with a stranger because you can trust him more and thus for fairplay you should declare the alliance earlier.

Maybe is better if I say "as soon as you discover who is near you and who you wants to play with" maybe?
What do you think?

RE: We are starting a game with a group of friends:...

I see. If pre-game-alliances are banned anyway then it’s not important in my opinion to make a public announcement if your later chosen ally is a RL-friend. This is not necessarily an advantage. Two strangers can also work together well.

RE: We are starting a game with a group of friends:...

Question, I joined to satisfy the plea for players, before I realized it was a campaign game (never played a campaign game before). Can I resign, make adjustements, and rejoin?

1204 days, 2 hours, 32 minutes ago

RE: We are starting a game with a group of friends:...

nope. Advantages are set with the first join ... even replacement cannot adjust that.

RE: We are starting a game with a group of friends:...

Thank you

RE: We are starting a game with a group of friends:...

That's true BUT I think you could have changed if you just gave your "interest". But since you also joined as a player you can't.

Anyway, some of us are playing with races they don't usually use, so for example I don't have any campaign advantage for my rebel choice!
I just like the challenge to try a race I've played little.

And thanks for joining us! ^_^

RE: We are starting a game with a group of friends:...

Interest is not a join ... Advantages are set with the first join, to be precise when you choose a slot and a race. And you can start doing your turn.

Everything before that is only ... I am interested ... imagine even 100 player could have interest, but only 12 could play ... which advantages should be taken :)

RE: We are starting a game with a group of friends:...

Big Beefer has fixed it so first-join Race/Advantages aren't "set in stone" anymore if the player quits before game the starts.

Unfortunately games started in the Interest section before the fix, are stuck with the old method, as you can see in "Bloodbath III"; http://planets.nu/#/sector/171012
