Metaverse League Round 4

Metaverse League Round 4

Let the games begin!!!!!

Hi all and welcome to round 4 and a new season of the MV League. First i would like to congratulate the Celestial Crusaders for their victory in season 1.

A big welcome to all our new players that have joined us. We hope you like the league as much as the rest of us do, and we hope you stay with us for a long time.

Please check out this thread guys, The MVL and the AltMeta, we have been trying to get the MVL into the AltMeta for a while and now we are finally on the road to do this. We do need your support though. It will not be a quick and easy process for Kryo but he is willing to do this if there is the support to go with it. Please drop by this thread and lend your support to this effort.

As most of you know we shook things up for this round with a player draft. For those that we unaware of this i will explain. We have a new team for this season, The Eternal Evildoers/Villainy (not sure yet on the name) and to fill this new team in a fair manner and to try and create a level playing field across all teams we instigated a draft. The captain of each team stayed a member and everyone else went into the player pool.(Silverbeacher was appointed Team E captain).

Each team then had two draft picks each and the rest of the team spots filled randomly.

So here are the new look teams,


(Xei Win Toh has abstained from play until the arrival of TA)

See your captain for the new forum passwords at the Galactic Core.

As the league expands there is a need for more people to help administer and run the league. Here is a rundown of "official" positions.

Commissioner - Neilo
Vice Commissioner/Score Keeper - Firebender
Score Keeper - Silverbeacher
Rule Moderation - Mumblefratz

Also we have two current threads guys, the MVL Round 4 Draft and Discussion thread and the MVL Rulebook thread.

It is in the MVL Rulebook thread that all rules for the league will be kept. Mumblefratz will keep the OP of that thread updated with the current rules as they change across rounds. Bar for a change in the way ties are managed i do believe that the rules are very similar as to round 3.

Without further delay here is the Round 4 challenge,

A Diplomatic Victory(alliance) in a small map with 5 opponents.

Habitable planets - Abundant
Number of stars - Occasional
Number of planets - Common
Star density - Tight Clusters
Anomolies - Common
Asteroids - Rare
Tech rate - Very fast
Minors - random (enabled in DL)

Enable,
Blind Exploration
Mega Events
Super Abilities
Surrenders
Tech trading
and of course all victory conditions.

End of round - Midnight NOV 30 2007 (forum time)

Please guys leave all discussion to the Round 4 Draft and Discussion thread, as to leave this thread free for game submissions. It does get hard to sift through alot of posts to find a submitted game. Thanks.

Well, here's to a re-invigorated league and a nice challenge for round 4.
Good luck all and enjoy your games.

I've started a discussion about incorporating the MVL into the AltMeta. Thebutterfly brought up the point that people may not have noticed that thread and so be unaware. Therefore I thought it would be a good idea to provide a link to that thread here. Perhaps Neilo could update the link into the OP as well.

The MVL and the AltMeta

I would like to have a League wide vote once this current round ends about whether or not a majority of folks support this. I want to hold off until the end of the round for two reasons. The first is just so we don't interrupt the round unneccesarily and the second is to make sure everyone has had some time to check out the idea and form an opinion.

Please spread this around in your private team forums so that everyone knows.

This is by no means any big deal but why do you need Race and Difficulty since these are not scoring criteria? I understand the need for Character even though it's not a scoring criteria because it's needed in case you have to look up the game. I suppose Race and Difficulty could be useful information to identify the specific game in case you do have to look up the game, however there could certainly be other games that fit those same criteria.

I would think that the minimum reporting criteria would be score, years and victory type. That's all that's really necessary to determine League score. Additionally if verification is needed then only character and MV submission time (even though not a tie-breaking criteria) would uniquely identify any game.

Anyway, as I said this is no big deal and no criticism is intended but I was just wondering.

Definitely not necesary, but it is interesting to see what people are playing for other non-required settings.

Speaking of banners, Marshall, feel like making another one? If you have the tima and patience of course. Team E needs one, in fact Team E needs to settle on it's name.

If you do manage to make us a banner just pick whichever name of these fits in better with your banner idea. Thanks in advance mate!!!

How about this?



...Perhaps I should have warned you first that my laptop is in intensive care right now thanks to a critical malware infection. It had Photoshop and all of the previous banner work I had done on it. I'll be able to reinstall PS when I get it back, but my files are toast. Shadow might actually be the best person to ask right now...
