25/Nov/2022 Future Game Plans (Planets)
- streu: Hi everyone, there have been some discussions about games configurations, so I'd like to share the concrete plans I'm currently pursuing:
- vlk: Looking forward to see the new games! But only (a) solves the problem that some races are not attractive and only slowly taken by players. Did you also think about the idea, that each player is not ...

17/Nov/2022 killrace (Phoenix 10)
- at0mix: this will be the best solution for this game %)
- Dahoudaboudadoudawou: Highly appreciated
- streu: I joined you as Empire. Looking at the previous guy's history, I don't expect a turn from them. Regarding why you're subscribed to the forum: you had already joined this game previously: https://web.archive.org/web/20210117095549/https://planetscentral.com/host/game.cgi/66-Phoenix-10 You're ...
- James T. Plagerism: Now that all the turns are in can we set host to run whenever all the turns are in?
- Terraner: Thats music to my ears...

15/Nov/2022 make a race replacement for players 8 and 10? (North Star 15)
- at0mix: as I have already suggested - you need to give 8 and 10 at the start of the gravitonic type bf4 or br5. this will speed up the economy of the race and then there will be more willing. such an ...
- Maxzz: Good people of the cluster! Listen to this man! Please give poor beggar.. eh... sorry, Rebel, a gravitonic! And a Loki! And a Firecloud! And a Death Star! (Ah... Rebels do not fly Death Stars, just ...

10/Nov/2022 Determination of game end (FLAK 1)
- at0mix: could you single-handedly pull this race out of last place? let's switch %)
- Terraner: Ha ha, good joke. Last time I checked, Virgos, Excelsiors etc. were not genuine Crystal Ships. Thus, it seems definitively far from "Single-Handed".
- Zergio: Oooooops...
- Zergio: Maybe I have a few points but each of them is not gifted but earned hardly vs alliance of two races (first), alliance of another two races (then) and alliance of another three (now). Nothing similar.

09/Nov/2022 Game Launch (Titan 20)
- streu: ok, I freed the slot. Whoever likes it, take it.
- snouka: set and done
- Tulgas: Hi Stefan, Could you please unlock the game when you have a chance? It looks like it's still waiting until the pre-set day (Thursday) although all the turns have been uploaded.
- streu: Done. This needs to be done after the last player joining because otherwise host runs too early - after all, all turns of all subscribed players are in. --Stefan
- Tulgas: Thank you Stefan!
05/Nov/2022 new wolf game (Planets)
- Dahoudaboudadoudawou: This is apparently in connection with your earlier post (why not sticking to that thread? ) A "civil war" game with all players commanding the same race sounds like a interesting set up, however ...

07/Jul/2022 Unplanned outage

Hi there, there was an unplanned server outage this night. This means the server was down when the hosts for Titan 19 and North Star 14 where due. Since there were turns still missing, I skipped those hosts. If you ...
