HHT 2018 - Testing a new edit!
Greetings Programs... Starkiller and I have prepared something special for HHT 2018.
The Haunted Halloween Tournament is dedicated to the memory of Space Ghost, and those that miss him.
This is a test game, and your feedback on the new edit is appreciated. It is based loosely on HHT 2009, but with all new ship and planet names. Most of the settings are similar to that edit.
Hosted by: The Sprawl v1.03/3.13 Server: thesprawl.ca Port: 2002
• Unlimited Time • 5000 Turns (Note: Actual Tournament Turns will be lower.) • 10000 Sectors • 6 Trader Corps • No Delays • No Truce
This test game will open Friday August 17th at 9 pm Eastern Time
Tournament mode is off in the practice game, but will be on in the tournament game.
When we were looking at the HHT edits, without rebanging them we noticed something strange about the warps, and I have written a post bang script that will incorporate the following oddities into the map:
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!
Also the map will have 6 Black holes. Those Black Holes will have Warps into them but will have no warps out.
Note: My research indicates that simular map changes were made to many of the HHT edits Post bang, but other years no post changes were made. If there is one thing SG was NOT it was consistant.

Re: HHT 2018 - Testing a new edit!
If you intend to play, I suggest you get in and get a "feel" for this edit. If not, then you will be "DAYS" behind! Awesome job SK, Micro & Xanos. This is as twisted as anything SG had created. BTW - found the huge "red herring" without any coaching, so proud of myself!

Re: HHT 2018 - Testing a new edit!
Just curious if there were going to be any changes "tweeks" to this edit before the next test game?
When is the next test game rebang?
