Goliath and the Lilliputians (Jul 13, 2010 - Jan 13, 2011)
      This idea behind this game is to allow players to choose how much micro-management they want to handle. Every player must first choose if they will play a normal, expanding race or a One-World-Wonder (OWW). Players who choose a OWW race must select the most narrow possbile range on all three hab attributes, and move Gravity and Temperature all the way to one side or the other. To keep things fair, the OWW races will get a 50 year jump start to build factories and mines, and do research. During those 50 years the normal races must only do mineral alchemy. No players may scout, nor may any ships leave orbit during the 50 years. AR OWW races may issue orders at 20 and 40 years to upgrade bases, but still no scouting or leaving orbit.
      The universe will be a medium, dense universe.  The game will have Public Player Scores and Acclerated BBS Start.  If playing a normal race and choosing CA PRT, you cannot take the TT advantage and your hab ratio limit is 1:10.
      Victory will be declared when only one race remains, or when 50 years have passed after the elimination of the last OWW race. If only one player survives, they are obviously the winner. If 50 years pass after all OWW races are eliminated, the player with the highest score is the winner. This is simply because of the scoring system; a normal race may have 4000 points and still be weaker than a OWW race with only 500 points. Players may ally as always, but no allied victory.
      For the first time, we will be hosting the game using the Stars! Authost website. This means you must create your race using the J version of the game.
