RE: Reqesting large slow turn galaxcy for new players.
I think there's already a galaxy with very long turns running, so you might have a hard time finding people who are interested. On the other hand, if you can find just one more (got any friends you wanna play with?), we can set that up for you guys.

Hello and welcome to the game!
We do have galaxies for higher ranked players with really slow turns, 6 hours or even 12 hours per turn, but not for unranked, new players. The reason for that is that new players in general are pretty impatient, they want a fast game, and not wait forever from one turn to the next - and rightly say, because they want to learn the ropes of the game, and find out if it is even their thing.
I see you only signed up yesterday. So while I understand the desire to get time to learn to know the game, there is also nothing to be afraid of if you play a faster paced game, because you can virtually start playing a new galaxy every couple of weeks. So even if you had a bad start in one galaxy, you just learn from it, and start playing a new one. We feel that's a much better way to learn to know a game.
Then once you are higher ranked, more experienced, and play with the big(ger) boys, you can request or join one of the slow paced galaxies, that matches your real life demands. Then you'll find there are quite a lot of people that do wish for slow games. If you'd try to gather a group of unranked players wanting to play a slow game, you would barely find any - and if you did, chances would be high that they quit after a short time.
unranked 1hr gals will let you sort things out in time since all other players are also sorting things out, all new players, you can miss a lot of turns and still do good
finish atleast one to see how it goes and then i'm sure we'll be able to do smtg if you still want slower turns

Gaining rank 1 is pretty simple also. Finishing within the top 10 usually gets you the fame needed to reach it. Most players who are actively playing get rank 1 within their first galaxy. Most if not all long turn galaxies have been rank 1 or higher.

Yeah, just keep logging in a couple of times a day and you'll learn how the game works and probably get rank 1.
You can also go to beginner FAQ and find xmer's governors. Test those out in the test bed, and then upload them to your unranked galaxy when they are working right. They'll build your planets for you when you are asleep or at work.
Also xmer's governors in the test bed is a good way to spend extra time waiting or the start of a galaxy or for the next tick.
Did someone asked in chat? Anyone else interested?
Gadnara suggested one with fairly standard settings.. I think meant as spinoff of galaxy 185.. it's opened for ranks 1 to 3.. but I think 1 to 2 would make it more comfortable for most? Gadnara is rank 3 but I suggest we make an exception and let him in as a borderline case ? Any other player interest can ask here too?
The galaxy seems rather standard.. I think.. not very juicy.. 1000 tech multiplier.. 20 start pop..40 starting hq sci.. early hq tech rush? I'd let that be the theme..
He called it cabbala galaxy.. not too much tendency towards religion I hope? How about a background with something like a ritual that delayed hq changes.. would get people thinking about setting high production hq I think..
Ps.. @ramadawn.. hope you're still here.. I was thinking of the issue you raised.. you wanna try asking your friends if they'd like to start a second galaxy to run concurrently? 12hour ticks should make 2 simultaneous galaxies easy to manage maybe..?

I was thinking just the standard 1 hour galaxy. I guess these don't get made that often cause there usually aren't enough players. It seems like there's been alot of new players with interest in the game lately, so I'd imagine it wouldn't be to hard to get a good advanced galaxy going. I think these were the most fun type to play in, although I cant quite remember...
How about this one? I propose to change it to ranks 0-2 .. With rank 3 players wishing to sign up to express interest here
