The Next DM will be held on the Nov. 4th until the 6th exact times will be posted later.

The offical start time and end time will be
2011-11-04 8:00 am server time
2011-11-07 8:00 am server time

it should start exactly at the refresh

Turn Regen will be set at 1 every two seconds
max storage will be 200
DP will be 3.5 hours long


The Brown Market, (since the black market is lame)
Food will be provided at 13
raw mat at 3
and minerals at 500
and a healthy post of ore at 10,000

Individual Prizes will be given for the top 5 in the flowing categories

Battles won
Win to loss ratio
Planets won
and Most planets

Fed prizes (only the top fed for each category) will be given for Total
Planets won
Battles won
Most planets
and best overall Win to loss ratio.

Any Guard accounts need only contact staff and you will be given the K.Hun-li, sorry virals you`ll still have to fish for your ships.

You will be forced to make a new DM account, any old recovered accounts will be removed.

Also Feds will be limited to a max of 5 members (including the leader), any more than that and all members will forfeit the right to win any prizes.

Good luck and have fun plotting and scheming.

also if you wish you can start making your accounts now and you should be able to make feds as well, though keep in mind you anyone you let in your fed you better be sure you want them in there or that they will be active, because you will be stuck with them, also remember to post your DM account`s Name in this thread if you wish to be any thing but a terran.

3.5 hours seems a lot better if we want to have an epic sort of race to see who can set up the best empire.

Should still be pretty brutal, but the majority of the action would be later on in the DM. and People joining the DM late might be at a big of a disadvantage.

I like this better than the 2 hour DP.

but then it loses its "death match" feel. why does the event need to be 24+ hours long?

well i did plan on making a 24 hour dm, with 15 min dp with turns at .5 a second with a 20 storage limit, but i felt that was a bit extreme for a first DM so perhaps for another one...

and i suppose we can change the DP time to 3.5 hours that`s 7 hours of dp with two sets of borders which should be more than enough time.

SD.

I appreciate all the effort that`s been put into the DMs.

My only vice is that 2 hour DP is an awkward number.

It doesn`t `really` encourage fighting. And it doesn`t encourage hoarding either. So it`s sorta an unhappy medium.

If you really wanted to encouraging fighting, it would make a ton more sense to make 15 minute DPs. or something like that, imo.

I found that last DM (I was plunder maru)....I wasn`t really able to fight all that much. Had to scramble for targets. Kinda slow for a DM I felt.

cant fight without planets (planets = money for all races), and some races cant live without planets. should we just plunder down to 5k NP at the end of each night and start all over the next day? if so, ill sit it out too, cause that would be not-fun

DM`s are about fighting. future DM will probably have longer DP periods.

my advise don`t spend to much time looking for super awesome planets you can`t keep this DM.

the market prices should stabilize themselves as well.

if you think the DP isn`t long enough your more than welcome to sit this DM out, there will be others.

the dp thing is the sole reason im ignoring the DM.

without being too presumptuous, id like to make some suggestions:

food at 10 - extensive math (id be willing to provide) shows that more hurts taxers, less hurts farmers, this is a nice balance
RM at 2 - makes it available, but RM sold at 1 (usual RT price) gets bought, RM is a byproduct of food production, not an outright source of income
minerals at 800-900 (1000?) - im waffling here, having mins at 500 pretty much guarantees all miners will be taxer, having mins higher might generate an organic mineral market instead of just using whats given to us
ore at 5000 - has no use beyong building infra, and since most races can mine their own, a low price helps coll/maru use more of their money for combat ("death match")

furthermore, many races have 12 colonies max, assuming they keep ONE!! and max out their colonies, they will probably lose their clusters between sleeping and living life. this dynamic simply wont work. possible fixes: have an NP that extends up to 100k (so people can protect money makers but wont win "top planet count" without actually trying, extend DP to 4 hours so we can sleep easy and not cat nap 2 hrs at a time all weekend, or (my fav) keep it to a single night event, 6 hrs long on a friday or saturday night, possibly have 2 runs, one for each hemisphere (but still open to all contestants!)

im sure (and hope) this will be the first of many legit DMs to come, and things will be worked out from event to event. but lots of these things would obviously be road blocks and we should talk them thru in theory before we have to encounter them in practice

any rewards for rank placements? ie. at the end of the DM take a snap shot of who`s in the top 5?

Nope

A Smack to the Face and deletion of all your accounts on all servers?....to harsh?

i dunno i suppose if you can manage to UW successfully i suppose we could comp you

lets make it interesting, since you UWing means you should get lots of wins, so your pretty much guarantied winning in another category. we`ll do this

on the very next DM you will get a starting Planet package when you decide the race your going.
and you can carry over one ship for the race you UW`d with (this effect will not be cumulative from DM to DM if you do manage to do successful UW`s each DM)

also all your fed members on the next UW will get +1,500 land to their starting planet.
