It must be terrible needing things like food and consumer goods. Join my machine empire as bio-batteries and be relieved of your burdensome consumer goods and food.

@Phoenix 1st session of game 7 effectively didn't happen, so when we have session 1 do over your training should be over, @KalianVan shouldn't feel like death warmed over and we should have at least 4 players(5 if @Vikkie joins us again), 6 if @Matatomi joins in...should be a much healthier game this coming Saturday.

That would be nice. Too bad you can't decide where everyone starts, put these things off in some corner alone so everyone can build up the tech and ships to overcome their inherent combat advantage.

I think the only way you avoided a similar fate is if they went to war with each other, but I'd bet on the FP going north and the DS going south. Maybe then they'd fight each other but I doubt it would be to the benefit of anyone that early on. A super powerful FP or DS when all you have are corvettes, red lasers and mass drivers.

@KalianVan @Phoenix @Kriege7 @Deluxe @DreamingofRoses @Matatomi I think we should go back to the game hosted by Kal being on Thursdays, I'm going to bite the bullet and pick up the DLCs I don't have and possibly host one on Saturday, or Phoenix can do that and save me some money. Then everyone has a day when a game is running that they can get in on, personally I would join both.

That's a change to AI behavior, players can still build as many as they want.

@KalianVan @Phoenix @DreamingofRoses @Kriege7 @Deluxe @Matatomi Well I would be fine with hosting a game on Thursday, but given that only Phoenix and I checked off yes on playing two days a week and he's not available for Thursday, it would be me and Dreaming only, that's more of a private game than community, so if anyone else thinks maybe they can actually do two days....or we get more of the 65 members of this interest group to actually play....it'll be rather quiet in that game.

@KalianVan @DreamingofRoses @Phoenix @Deluxe @Kriege7 @Matatomi Maybe what we need are two separate games, one on Thursday for the people who can't make Saturday and a Saturday game, separated by naming the game saves 'Thursday game' or 'Saturday game'

@KalianVan Yeah I got that, I said do one last Thursday and then start Saturdays, seeing as this game is already pretty much done. @DreamingofRoses Is there any time on Saturday you'd be able to make it every week?

@KalianVan@Phoenix@DreamingofRoses@Kriege7@Deluxe My vote on that, one last Thursday and another round on Saturday too(one time only where 2 days in one week)assuming we don't finish in the next session. If not both, then it doesn't really matter to me. If we go on Thursday and finish, we could, possibly, start the 7th game Saturday.

@KalianVan @Phoenix @Deluxe @Kriege7 @DreamingofRoses @Matatomi Well it looks like Saturday will be best for the new day, and maybe Sunday(if we swap RBGs to Thursday)to have it two days a week if possible?

@KalianVan I can certainly make it, once you've seen a dozen fireworks displays you've seen them all, then holidays like this are just have some burgers and hot dogs and call it a day.

Just wondering but are there any rules for official games like "Don't be a fanatic purifier"? Would make it awfully hard to not need to purge guildies when found. Unless of course we all go in as the same species, then we can purge to our hearts content.
