Following a suggestion made by Vorlon, the Players League management has authorized me to establish some starter games. These games will begin around mid-month, and last just 2 weeks. The intent is to give basic training to new players. Each game will have several mentors from the PL ‘senior’ players. The rules will be standard PL, but no points will be given. The games will start about mid-day, server time, with a 3 day peace period, which means about 60 hours. Given sufficient interest, the first game will start 15 July.

The choice of map will be determined by the number of entrants.

Post here, or send a message to WayneBo, if you are interested in joining.

Unlike the standard PL monthly sign-up threads, questions and suggestions are welcome on this thread.

same nickname in game as in forum?

yes

Since it was my idea I feel obligated to participate. Same name in game. My schedule looks better for the second half of this month.

For a suggestion would you "establish" coalitions to start? Such as pair an experienced player with some of us less experienced geographically? For example if we use the 22 player map you might have a Europe, America, Russia, and Africa "leader" central to each continent, with a newbie on each side?

A 14 day game sounds a bit short to me, but there should be a lot of action if everybody is on the same timetable.

Is the peace period against AI as well, or just human players?

Welcome Vorlon, a good idea you had.

Pre-arranged coalitions, placed geographically would require nation select, and assigning nations for players to join. Tried that before, usually doesn't work out well (several pick the wrong country.)

We will set up the coalitions as you suggest, but based on the random placements.

Maybe 2 days peace for AI, and 3 for live players?

Hello ppl, i suppose the purpose of the game will be to immitate the rules of pl league right? so there will be more communication than actually playing just to win!

Need another player to make it even teams I would think. Anybody get knocked out of the July PL match already that wants to join?

I'd like to.

welcome, is your in-game nickname also NovaTopaz?

If there is space I'll join. Same name as in forum.

Nothing like a deadline to make people come out of the woodwork, lol.

Plenty of space, welcome.

The July SPL game is open. The game number and password have been sent via 'Conversations'.

Following common practice in PL games, late entries will be accepted for 2 days, space available.

Good luck everyone!
