As a newbie, I'd be more comfortable with mechanics I can look up online. This game's already going to be way more complicated than my first game. But I'll go with the flow either way!

My sig comes from a game in which I didn't heed Blend's advice. So maybe this time I should. ~ Khellendros
I'm just going to have to come to terms with the fact that self-vote suiciding will forever be referred to as "pulling a JPK" now, aren't I? ~ JPK

I'm with D'rek. This mechanic has a feel of Settlers of Catan where my brothers will do everything in their power to screw me over and give a 5 or 6:1 trade (or more generous) just to help someone else win so I can't when my turn comes around. I'm definitely not for that. And even though I don't have as treacherous history as D'rek (at least in Eclipse) I do have the most wins of the group on the forum versions so I can see that mechanic being used against me more often than helping me out.
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

That's why I said 1 per round and only up to 2 resources.
Could make it so that resources must be traded in equal parts from both sides.
Meh...just an idea. Maybe next game. No skin off my back.

I could see a trade mechanism working but I think it would need to be restricted to at least a player with adjoining hexes, if not diplo or alliance.

This is going to be awesome. It still feels new with all the expansions
Apt is the only one who reads this. Apt is nice.

I've legit been checking this thread several times a day waiting for it to begin!!! I'm excited for my first run of this by myself! Now I won't have the Tattersail half of my brain whispering to the Blend half of my brain! (not that that is a bad thing, but it'll be fun to see what that other half of my brain taught me)

I'm hoping to at least see the order we're choosing races.

I think you are Player 6 according to the signup list.

No. No. No.
I will not be between those two.
Besides I was the first one on the list. Well technically I'd say second. IH asked me for the files I had and my reply was "In". Since he was the one starting it I'd say he's got dibs on player one.

I'd like to suggest:
Twelve: Planta
D'rek: Exiles
IH: Eridani
And they are all in row.
And not allowed to exchange ambassadors with each other.

We'll go with sign up list on thread and gnaws random list, seems fairest.
I was originally planning timezone sorted, but that list is fairly timezone split anyway. And with mods in two timezones I'm hoping it won't matter.
I'm not at my own computer until tomorrow evening, when I am I'll set up files for all to access. Can someone do the initial tech draw, then khell to choose race or first go.
Let's try pass order for turn order for the second round, if it causes major issues we will switch back to 2nd pass chooses direction.
PS gnaw between drek and twelve is a good thing, everyone will be after them

I can do a tech draw if you'll tell me what tech and developments are in.

Let the negotiations begin!
@CF: I will let you take my place as first pick, if I can take your position in the order.
