I forget what I called it before? Slow Blitz? Anyway, I set up a new server,
and have empire running. I'll be generating the world - but I want to get a
general idea of how many people would like to join.

I can't believe its been a year since the last one!

Anyway, I can be reached at

I'll still set it up for more than the responses I gtet - it _is_ after all a
blitz. :D

I'm most likely in! Though it depends on bit on some of the
parameters (start date, update schedule, etc.) - is any of that info
available yet?

It was pretty crazy to get a CALL FOR PLAYERS e-mail today, as just
last night I dreamed about Empire for the first time in forever. I
woke up wondering if there was any increase in activity on RGE and if
the e-mail list still existed. I wish I had time for this game as I
did have a strange urge to play, but, unfortunately, I do not, even in
a co-ruler role. Mostly just writing this post to say the game is
still alive for people like me, even if we are invisible.

Incidentally in the dream, myself and an ally were slowly being
invaded by more powerful neighbors, but the more pressing problem was,
there were 30 minutes before the update and when I did a starv * I got
a list of like 120 sectors that needed food, which wouldn't be a
problem, except my distribution network was completely screwed and all
the warehouses had zero mobility and all the food.

That's awesome. I'm always surprised when it seems like Empire is completely
dead (i.e nothing in r.g.e for months) - but then you shake the tree a little
and you find so many are there, just lurking. :D

I think we have like 5 or 6 players just in the test server, so, this should
pan out to be a decent game! A shame you can't join this one, but, hopefully
you can join the next!? I hope to have a few this year... :)

The more pressing thing is your dream indicated food. Hmmmm. Maybe the
following game with have food in it. When was the last time someone ran a game
with food!!!

Cheers,
Scott aka Gemini
