Topic: Hey everyone, let's play a game of IC tonight!
Basically a galaxy where ticks are short, maybe 5min a tick? It has to be a small galaxy with only a few players playing. The point is to play a round within 3 hours time. (I think 3 hours is the absolute max for a sitting, 2 hours or less would be good but I don't think there will be enough ticks unless more resources are given at the start of the round).
It needs to be small so it is manageable to do stuff within 5 minutes a tick. Not too many players per fam, not too many fams, and not too big of a map, not too many systems/planets. I suppose it would be best if it is just something along the lines of 2 fams of 5 players each? (Something like that)
IC is a long game, days, weeks, months to play a round. Don't know how it would be like if people can just choose to pit themselves against some of their friends etc like a game of DOTA or just a regular RTS or something 
. Just play whenever you can make time for it and play for 2-3 hours.
Possible problems
1) Website might blow up 
?
2) Is 3 hours enough? Would 5 minutes a tick be too short?
3) Timezone problems may make it difficult to play for 2-3hours for some people?
with 5minute ticks
so many calculations (i.e. pop growth)
