3. Game Configuration
All forum games shall include in the game thread a "Configuration" post outlining the following:
> Which base rules apply to the game (usually the latest Living Rules Reference, e.g. LRRv1.3, but if a new version of the LRR comes out right around the time a game is starting that could be a reason to stick to the older version)
> VP Goal for the game
> Details of how the map will be created (e.g.: randomly generated, player-created, moderator-created, etc). Give as much detail as possible, including map size, shape, what tiles will be excluded (if any), any specific weightings or intentional balancing/unbalancing, etc.
> Details of how players will select or be selected for Speaker, homeworld position, and faction (e.g.: random, snake draft, ban system, etc). Make sure to include whether this will be done before or after the map is known.
> Which forum house rules are active (usually it is all of them)
> Card Sets - Which sets of cards will be used for: strategy cards, public objectives, secret objectives, action cards, agendas, generic technologies, faction technologies, and faction promissory notes.
Here is an example post:
