I figured I'd give this a go, see how the "many ways to play" thing works out. I've got 10 planets extremely close to me and seeing my nearest neighbour has only 3 planets next to him, I think I was a little lucky. I'm guessing this will make my home planet a bit easier to defend, but probably not a big advantage in the long run?
I'm not quite sure how to find you guys, I tried to find Dave (and therefore Dante) but I failed miserably and just got myself lost. I did, however, notice I was the only person with a bright pink empire so I'm probably easy to spot
My name on there is Klingzog.
EDIT:
