Good thankyou Poley for clearing that up I feel its absolutely dumb to stop Tri early because some players wont be able to play the end of PW.  Even if one of them is Render Render Solar Defender!

lol how long did that take?

Ok so your set up for PW has me baffled.

Last round in PW
Map size: 60x60
Systems:  688
Families: 15
Family size: 8
Max allies: 0
Length: 1.5months
Attacks and ops: 2 days delay
Market: No delay
Resources: 10x
DS: 2

What you have asked for
[60 x 60]
[550 systems]
lenght 6 weeks
[12 fams of 6]
size we akkomodate for 125 ppp (planets per player)
1 ally
initial ressies *10
initial ezplos 5
DSs allowed to buy 1 (appart from the initial at HS)
naps unlimited.

PW is already set on 5 eships

It is pretty identical except now you have asked for drafting which PWers have been so adamantly against. You want this to start immediately. If we open PW we have to open MW. Therefore there will be 4 galaxies running. The reason that Tri was opened for a short round was the admin told us to get something running. We couldnt have a serious round of anything at that time due to the bugs that totally messed up the Universe. 

You want allies, but I dont think that bug fix iis done yet. A lot of things have to be taken into consideration and not just one galaxy.

Hope this clears up some things regarding why Tri was opened and not knowing how long the bug fix was going to take.

Dont forget he wants this opened up to the public after a couple days so more players will be joining. We have to make the families bigger to accommodate this. You can't forget that part.  We cannot add families only spots for players after the round has started so what is started with for family amounts is what it is. Also we are not supposed to add spots too much later in the round because Elro said it would create bugs.

About allies, last round they either couldn't drop an ally, or re-ally after dropped, some got the Pnap some did not.

Also we can't put in the amount of systems but can only get close somewhat to the number. If we hit the nail on the head then we are lucky.

so after all this you have decided you want pw practically the same as we have been running it, just with drafts, wow ^_^

where do i sign up! lulz

mods are just fancy boys who barely listen to what community wants ^^

i believe the original intention of  renders idea was to somehow make the randoming more equal and this way was his best idea of achieving this. pw is still pw and i dont think round stats should be changed. the problem with starting a round with some families having 8 and some having 4 people still needs to be addressed. at least this time we all start on an even footing

but this whole thing started off with someone (not a mod) threatening the existence of pw, and pw players once again, have come back in force to try and prevent this. we are afterall a pretty strong community

Whats this....the hat is now on the side of my face.....will the party maddness never end....

/Me continues to rock out

Very nicly put KT,, about the only thing different is the drafting, and I recall some people suggesting 1 draft spot and everyone getting all uppity about it and now there is in essence 4 drafts, (assuming one would random, and draft the other 4) it's pointed out, and people still complain, we just wan1ted to try something new.  Geez people at least get your story straight before whining

And b4 you start dissing me I am helping Poley with this.  I just have questions and hope things work out.
