Dramatic SFB: Campaign Situation

[Roch Chartrand]

I like the comment : Start new campaign at year we ended this on!

Y174

I'm definitely a General war year player! So any start date around Y172±2 is
good with me.

Thank you all, who have enjoyed the last campaign(s) and said so. I
appreciate your comments.


I have not yet officially closed down the last campaign: you can still 
log in and see things there. But I will be closing it down anytime in 
the next week or two.


I have some administrative things to do before I'm ready for the next 
campaign to begin. Mostly it's adding tog-pods to the database and 
editing the scenarios in the planned ways I've mentioned earlier.


That being said, I think I'm willing to begin building the list of 
empire picks and build a consensus on the era to play in. Some players 
have already done so, but I have thusfar taken it informally. The first 
thing I need, which may impact empire choices, is what era we are 
playing in. Again, those eras are:

General War (GW) era: this starts in Y169 +/- 3 years.
Late-War era starts at the introduction of PFs: Y180 +/- 2 years.
Early Year era (EY): This starts at Y130 +/- 10 years.
Dawn of Warp era: This starts at Y60 +/- 10 years.

I can vary how many turns are played per technological year and limit 
the maximum size-class allowed. Generally there isn't much call to limit 
the game to (say) destroyers, so I hadn't on planned on changing it from 
where it was last game. The era we decide on will affect the number of 
turns per year, as some eras are very slow technologically and others 
are much faster.

Frank had voted for the EY era, but bowed out because of family issues. 
I will cast a vote in his favor, thinking he may be ready to come back 
by the time we are ready to physically start the campaign.
