Dear Players,

Round 66 will be our annual draft round.
Two players from a group of volunteers will be elected by popular vote to represent each alliance. These individuals will then each take turns selecting from the pool of players who have joined the game until all players are chosen. Interested in leading? Do you have what it takes to lead your alliance to victory? We are looking for players to take up the challenge! All faces old and new, are welcome to participate.

The draft round will proceed as follows:

1. The game will be open for joining on Saturday, June 22rd.
2. Turns will not begin generating until Saturday, June 29th. This will ensure that players have ample time to join the game, and the two leaders will have a healthy selection of players to choose from on drafting day.
3. One or two player trades will be allowed after the draft is completed.
4. Anyone who spies or otherwise refuse to cooperate can be kicked by the leaders, at which point they will be placed into sector #1, from which they cannot leave. - Kicks can be appealed to the admins.
5. Leaders are able to select their players using a special "Pick Members" feature under the Alliance Options page. A list of all players yet to be chosen, including their Hall of Fame name, user score, and chosen race will be presented to them, along with a button that allows them to select that player.
6. Players will be able to join the game at any time, even after the initial draft has taken place. They will eventually be selected by a leader.
7. The draft will take place in chat so all players can see how the draft proceeds.
8. The draft will take place in chat so all players can see how the draft proceeds.
9. Planet levels will be adjusted and most likely capped at 50/100/10 (level 53.33), so they offer a challenge to the larger alliances.
10. The round will end when all planets are conquered or after 8 weeks, whichever comes first.


For those uninterested in the draft round, a solo style game will run concurrently with the draft round. Suggestions for the solo style or draft round are welcome. We are especially interested in map ideas for both the draft and the solo round.
Thank you,
