War-only galaxies
This feature is now implemented.
It basically means that the Diplomacy Dialog is completely disabled, and all newly discovered players have a default stance of "war", that can not be changed.
The galaxy admin should set the rep-modifier to 0, when creating war-only galaxies.
Also, at this point I need to activate the "war-only" setting manually. Should you need this more often in the future, I'll add it to the galaxy-setting web-interface.
This will add a whole new exciting dimension to the game and make it a lot fairer at the same time.
Yes, it gives experienced players an advantage, but it also give inexperienced players the opportunity to learn from their mistakes and develop their skills.
So, lets get the first of these open ASAP.
Either Ting's or mine, either one will work.

Yea ASAP so we can see how the new feature works out.
Cool! Thanks so much for your time Erwin. Miss seeing that change-log forum light up in yellow..
I think we'll do Multiglow's 1-hour galaxy first. I set up a 3-hour one.. but will open it a few days later for those who prefer to play at a slower pace (and of course anyone with the interest can play both heh)
Will pm you the galaxy details Erwin.

I just set up a Test War Only galaxy with 20 min turns (it won't let me do 5 min).
It only runs for 200 turns but with the totally ridiculous setting I used, it will let us test the new code quite quickly even with only 2 or 3 players.
Could you have this one start on Monday so a couple of us play and test it all out.

Nick,
We can't see then yet because Ting has not opened them.
Once opened the "Test War Only" will be a really short 5 min per turn galaxy that a couple of us are going to use simply to test the new war only format and make sure everything works.
Once that is done, the galaxy is over.
The War Only Defend galaxy will be the first of the actual galaxies to use the new format (assuming everything works in the test galaxy).
Feel free to jump into either galaxy when they open.

Research is set to 10
Big planets lots of ships.
Oops.. Didn't realize you all were waiting for me to start the galaxy heh. Sorry
