Hi all

The game will end in let's say 30 turns. Well, I don't see any changes in ptscore order comming in such period of time. So under current ending condition I do approve Kobrov's victory here. Problem is that making turns become more and more time consuming and there is no real goal to achieve (at least for me). So I propose to change ending condition to game ends turn 60 or to remove this restriction and play as long as it requires to have a winner. There is no sense to play another 30 turns and have exact same situation in ptscore order as we do have now.

So let's do a voting here, choose one (this goes for Fed, Gorn, Romulan, Borg and Cylon): (1) end game turn 60; (2) end game turn 80; (3) no end game, play as long as it takes to determine the winner

My vote goes to 3 but I don't mind 1 as well.

Kind regards, Ygg

I agree with Bartek.

In consequence I vote with variant 3 to give this game some challenge. Otherwise it is more an economic race of spending ressource around the galaxy instead of planning encounters.

Hi, all!

My vote goes to 1 but I also agree with 3, if we will determine the winner fast.

Good luck!

Sergei.

Ok, we waited long enough. So two votes for option 1 and two for option 3. I believe we could remove the end game restriction only if all players agree or at least majority (4-5 votes) so in this situation the best solution I guess is to stop at turn 60 (cause it seems we all agree another 20 turns is just waste of time and effort and won't change anything). If there won't be any objections here in the next few days I will ask Stefan to change it.

I have set the end to "turn 60 and then some" (from "turn 80 and then some").

My vote - end game.

This is a testing version.
It may be incomplete, and have more bugs (or features) than the public live version at planetscentral.com.
