Late July Game of the Month / Early July Scores

The Late July Game of the Month is now online. You may find it at this site: http://home.ptd.net/~mpcasey/

The current game should make you think a bit harder about your strategy, since the goal of the game does not reward what the Metaverse does. Pay close attention to the rules and scoring procedure.

If you wish to discuss the game or post AARs without screenshots, please use this thread: http://www.galciv.com/forum.asp?BID=GF&ID=79280

Let's try to keep spoilers out of this thread.

Here are the Early July Scores. Yeah, the deadline for submissions hasn't passed, but I doubt anyone else was going to try it anyway. If anyone is still playing, no problem: I'll just update the scores as you send your game to me.

Congratulations to Gengsta, who won handily.

100 - Gengsta
81 - RayChua
56 - Bhazel
48 - Galaxor
31 - Imperial Guard
21 - Michael Casey
1 - AIL.ST

Michael, I need clarification on one of the rules for the current game. The rules state:

* You may not trade or gift ANY of your planets to alien races! Once you own a planet, you can’t get rid of it unless it is taken from you via military conquest or a cultural “flip.”

My question is are you allowed to disband a planet so that it can be recolonized?

I won't do this unless you say it is OK.

Sure, if you need some events to juice your alignment that is okay.

I should've been more clear. The idea behind that rule was just to prevent people from keeping the other races in the game by giving them planets.

I finished my game before I read your reply so I didn't do any disbanding.

I just emailed you my save game. I won in Dec 2197 with only the Caranoids being eliminated.

This game was definately more challenging than the last.

Bump! ;)
Hello!
Please wait for me, my gaming PC´s mainboard crashed, so I hope I can continue and finish the GOTM as soon as I have my system up running again.

Can I submit mine after the closing date?

I'm interested to play but was rather busy lately. ;)

My apologies to the GOTM faithful. As I hinted earlier, I'm trying to get myself over 100k and so have delayed my participation in GOTM.

Michael, don't worry about me. Close the competition on time. I'll see if I can join else I'll join the next one.

Ok, I´ve sent my game to you, Michael.
I won in March 2195, Torians and Altarians are no more...
An AAR can be found in the discussion thread.
