Regarding the rules
Degis email, Date sent: Tue, 02 Nov 2004 23:31:27 +0100

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here we are.

1. no alliances at all
2. trading of ships over 400 kt hullmass and Buccaneer Class Speedboats is forbidden
3. no exchange of rsts, evport.dats and so on

We change following rules. Now forbidden is
4. to hand over planets and bases to other races
5. the exchange of race abilities (RGA, Refit, Assimilation, Hiss, webs, chunnel, etc.)
6. the exchange of minefield codes

Still allowed is
- communication via messages and emails
- limited NAPs (20 turns or max. 100 planets)

In order to refix the non-alliance rule.
- each player plays on its own
- each player has 10 opponents (7 left).
- each player tries to win this game
- each player doesn't tolerate foreign races in his area
- ship trades must be done within a few turns
- no jointly attack/defend on/by third parties. Attack opponents and defend your empire by your own fleets !!!!!

Again, please keep in mind:
There is only ONE player who can win Predator.
Which means, if race X reaches e.g. 100 planets border or becomes too strong, attack him. That's obligatory for all races!

Finally I like to reset diplomacy.
I know lots of discussions, concepts of the enemy and gaming on the edge of legality has happened in this game.
Please try to leave all these things behind you and restart diplomacy with your neighbours from the scratch on a neutral and polite base.

Keep in mind, Predator is only a game.

Play fair.

Degi
