Let's see, the remaining list is: the Data Angels, the Lord's Believers, the Free Drones, Gaia's Stepdaughters, Peacekeeping Forces, the Spartan Federation, and the University of Planet.  I choose Peacekeeping Forces.  I haven't played them in awhile, they're sort of vanilla, and they have a stronger chance at a game shortening Diplomatic Victory.  They don't have a "forced" play style and that would be good for comparing how 2 different people use them.

Objective would be "fastest victory" of whatever type.  I'm thinking that comparing Alpha Centauri scores isn't so relevant.  That can encourage people to piddle and just build up bigger and better stuff to get more points.

I'll make a new thread with a snappy title when I've got a saved game ready.

Darn it! I join this game.


Peacekeepers - my most favourite, I think.
Standard size map - micromanagement is somewhat bearable.


For the players roster:

*yeah... I know, I will have to deal with consequences of revealing my full name, but that's ok.


However, I would play with some slower speed, as we want to launch GOTM in few weeks. And, since this is competition, more thought to turns is in order.

Cool, I'll add you to the roster.

I'm arrogant enough to think I don't need additional thought.   8)  But that's what the challenge is for, to find out whether I'm right or merely full of myself.   So far I'm doing "well" though.
