Who wants to start another smax or smac PBEM game?

I would Really like to start another one, preferably with other 6 players...i would like to play as gaians..interested?

Sounds good. I'm more or less indifferent what i play, but since I'm playing Uni and Morgan on other games, I'd like to play something different here. SMAC or SMAX?
I also like the idea of a full seven players.

well, i prefer the original factions in a smax game...standard map..dense clouds..and of course, many worms!

I'm open to a full on SMAX game. I might try an alien faction, I've never played that in multiplayer before. War is more fun with humans after all. The AI just doesn't put up much of a fight.
Is there anyone else interested in this game?

Sign me up for PeaceKeepers (if you'll allow me to play in 2 of your games)

(Oh, and set ALL the rules at the start please, particlay the ones it's assumed 'everyone' knows).

Huge Planet? Or the next one down?

Ouch, that stings. I think the standard tourney rules would be good, unless anyone has any objections. I'll find a set and paste them here when we get started. Should we go with three people, or maybe try to get one or two more? As much as I love the idea of a full on 7 player game, it's probably unlikely.
Huge is maybe a little too much, perhaps the next one down would be good.

I'm, happy to wait for more (now I'm in a game already).

not signing up for the game (sorry too many at hand at the moment), just wanna make a comment. If one player plays the Alien the game would be quite unfair since the Alien have slightly greater beginning advantages than all the other factions (starts with 4 techs have attack or defense bonus and so on). Unless all players plays with aliens........

Wise move not to play a 7 human game with Huge map, because that probably would take you 4 years to finish. The first 3,5 to play the first 100 turns.

If you have a game with more than 2 players you probably should get a moderator (you don't a scenario where someone decide to drop out after 126 turns...... no password no game

) people do have a tendecie to disappear in thin air sometime.

sorry about the spelling in my post above and sorry for posting a post just to comment on that.
