*** WARNING *** Although I started with the Pirates TWA by Res Judicata. This edit has been significantly modified for this tournament
e. Due to a collapse in the economy, inflation has run ramped. Everything is more expensive than usual and you will start out with much less. Inflation has resulted in an unusual increase in robbery and theft. As a result, all ports have been forced to step up security. Ports have also been hardened with the new BigBang port hardening option.
f. Planets will also cost more, and take longer to build.
g. Well, there are a few other surprises that you will just have to find
out for yourself. I want this tournament to be interesting, but I hope I haven’t
gone too far and made an unplayable edit. Good luck to everyone as this modified
edit has never been played by anyone. I am not going to disclose the TWA, but you
can view setting details at http://microblaster.net/GameDetail.aspx?serverid=1&rowid=8&game=T

Player
Conduct

All

applies to player handles, and the naming of any in-game object such as beacons,
ships, planets, ports, etc…

Anything
else allowed by the game will be considered legal regardless of how dishonorable
a tactic may be. This includes but is not limited to Subspace Crawling, Shield
Riding, Backstabbing, Blowing StarDock, Blocking Fedspace, AFK scripts, Botting, etc...
NOTE: I don’t personally agree with
the attitude that anything allowed by the game is "Fair Play", but in
a tournament I feel that we
must clearly define any and all tactics that are to be considered violations.
I will take into consideration any conduct requests that are emailed
to dmc@twfm.net before
the start of the game.
