Game H - Practice Game - Open Now
Game T - Tournament - Opens October 28th at 8 PM Eastern Time

Tournament mode is off in the practice game, but on in the tournament game,
with a death limit of 13 and death delay will be ON.

Game duration will be 30 days. At 8 PM Eastern Time of day 30 on the "V" screen, the game will be considered stale if there is no clear dominating team or player.

This year's ghoulish edit is a slightly modified version of the new edit we created in 2018.

We have incorporated some settings Space Ghost used in 2001:

1. Stardock's Warp outs will BE sectors 2 ,3 ,4 ,5, 7, and 9.
2. Alpha will have a Warp out to sector 6.
3. Rylos will have a Warp out to sector 8.
4. SOL Does not have any warps to 3 - 10, and has random warps instead.

However!!!!!!! You will NOT be able to warp TO Stardock, Alpha or Rylos thru these One-Way jumps. Warps out of SOL are also One-Way!

No Black Holes this year.

1. Duplicate Accounts

Duplicate accounts will not be tolerated. Any corporation using dupes is in violation of this rule, even if the dupe is not a member of the corp.

Duplicate accounts are primarily determined by IP address. One player per IP address.

I will be using other methods to detect dupes, including proxy detection. Proxy's are permitted, but do not use the same host I am using.

At no time is a player allowed to log into another players account.
You may not use Telnet Proxy, Remote Desktop, or any other means to remotely control another players account.

2. No Mega-Corping

You may freely create as many corps as you like, but your total team size may not exceed 4 players.

3. Player Conduct

Be Respectful on FED/PM/SS and game objects. This is a family oriented server and I expect you to behave as if there are small children watching. Inappropriate behavior will result in a warning or ban at my discretion.

4. Buyouts of any kind are not permitted. This includes both Ships and Planets.


5. No Bug use of any kind. If you are not sure then ask.


End of Game

This is a last corporation standing tournament with a maximum death limit of 13 deaths per player. If there is no clear winner at 8PM ET on day 30 on the "V" settings screen, a stalemate will be declared and the winner will be decided by a point system as follows:

a. 10 points for the player or corp with the largest grid.
b. 15 points for the player or corp with the most colonist.
c. 20 points for the player or corp with the most fighters.

In the invent of a tie on points the tied corp/player with the most cash in citadels will be declared the winner.

Looks like we have two teams committed to play this year!

Anyone wanna make it 3?

It looks like it is over already. Gone Fishing found their base. Fear the Toad! I can't call it until it closes on day 3 though, just in case someone joins!

Official Congratulations to corp Gone Fishing! Game is now closed.
