Custom maps and Metaverse

from Stardock Forums
When designing custom maps, will any of the following trigger the anomalous flag when submitting to Metaverse?

- Homeworld size class 26 ;)
- Too many or too few stars
- Too many or too few planets
- Too many or too few ships
- The presence of certain ships (yeah, like I want to pay the maintenance cost of an Excalibur at the start of game)
- Anything else?

When designing custom maps

Since all submitted maps in the library have a warning about being not able to submit to metaverse, I fear that designing any custom map will result in an impossible submission

What do you mean by that? I'm sorry if I've done something wrong, I don't know this stuff!! I was just giving him a join offer because I noticed that he wasn't in an empire yet!!! (:( I'm just a stupid newb, and I'm sorry I've offened someone with my cheap attemps at something. I'll stop offering and let someone who knows more than me do all of it. (:(

John,
You weren't here when the forums became a hunting ground by the empires for new members. The recruiting was banned from the forum (informally) and limited to the empire threads. The occasional encouragement of newbies to join an empire are ok as long as they are not geared to just one empire.

No one was offended by your post, just a gentle reminder by JT that one should not do recruiting in such a brazon fashion.

:)
