Topic: Attention Captains and Admirals: PBEM Campaign
I'd like to propose a play-by-email Starmada / Maximum Burn campaign.
I'm looking for admirals (who would run the various star nations involved, making strategic moves) and captains (who would fight the actual battles). For this to work, I would have to have at least one group of players physically near each other so that they could play out the battles.
Here are the proposed rules:
1) The referee's (my) rule is law. Rules subject to change without notice, not to be takin internally or used as a floatation device, etc. I'll do my best to be fair and not suddenly make major changes, but it might happen. If you want to try some odd tactic, ask me first before investing a month's gameplay in it.
2) We'll use the rules from the Maximum Burn website. For this campaign, only the "basic" ships provided there are allowed.
3) When you are asked to make a move or other decision (over email), please respond quickly, ideally within a day. If you don't respond within a week, I will make your decision for you so the game can proceed.
4) Be aware that it may sometimes be days or even weeks between your opportunities to move, while I wait for the other players.
5) When a battle occurs, I will send it off to one of the groups of captains to be fought. You may give pre-battle orders to your captains, e.g., "Keep the carrier alive at all costs." In the unlikely event that you are physically near those players, you're free to join them and lead your fleet into battle.
So ... who's dumb enough?
If you'd like to play as an Admiral, please post here your name, email address, and the city where you live.
If your group of players would like to serve as Captains, please post the list of names, a contact email, and the city where you play.
