The introduction of public/private galaxies has been a big mistake, the potential for abuse and unfair tactics is huge. Not to mention the fact that newbies are all lumped together, and surprise surprise are not doing well. This is part of the reason I went public, so that at least one galaxy of newbies would have an experienced player to help them out. Honestly it's been fun so far, but I can totally sympathize with the plight of leknu, and there are many like him. Most of the current players don't remember r6 when this system was last tried and what a disaster it was.
I have never been a proponent of public/private galaxies, and I have demonstrated to Cin/Appoco how the existing system
can be abused to give a single ally a hugely unfair advantage. I have yet to publish my finding on this for fear that some ally will actually use my plan and ruin the round.
