	sounds intriguing Tired of ads?

When do you plan on doing it and what can you tell us about the game itself? What rules, etc?

	well I guess I will be one of the 7 Support Apolyton, buy Alpha Centauri

I'll try being the Manifold Caretakers. That would be fun I think. Or if we're playing humans only I'll try the Believers. Arcainite@aol.com is where I can be reached.

dont like the setts much, normally play smallest water and all others average, pbem with 7 ppl and on a map that big wouldnt be a good idea unless you still wanna be playing in 2005

On ANY map I would not advise a 7 player game . Even if everyone is a known reliable player you will find that the game will be SLOW SLOW SLOW .. Someone once posted that they figured that each additional player doubled the time it took for one year of a typical MP game to be completed. I have seen this to be true.

I have attempted 5 different seven player games and NONE of them have been completed and ALL of them are now dead. Contrast this with four player games . . . I have completed a dozen or so and have only had one die on me. I think my experience is pretty typical

	Support Apolyton

I agree with Flubber.

I think all the RolePlaying 7-player games have died, as has Chiron Winter (which started in 1999). OKF-III (started shortly thereafter) is winding down, but at a rate of a turn every two weeks or so.

I'd advise no more than five players, but 4 is prolly better as it gives (usually) a 2 on 2 team type game with no hard feelings from an "odd man out"
