From my infrequent musings onto PD i thought that Cicada was one of the most vocal people against a shuffle, but he's corrected me on that.

Leave them imo, lots of different sized galaxies will make the game a bit more interesting (and if you want realistic).

Yeah people in smaller galaxies will moan cos they have less chance of winning (heh) but chances are the odd 5 or so spaces in each galaxy that would get filled would be filled with bots, spies or farms anyway

My galaxy got 16 or 17 people now. I suspect that atleast 5 are complete inactives or farms....

Go Spinner!

Supernova9 is infamous around these parts
I think it's actually really amusing. So many people who reacted violently/angrily to the mention of a shuffle, claiming how much of an inconvenience it would be, whilst not saying they were against it exactly, now say they would have wanted one. That reaction is pretty much the cause of us not having a shuffle now, let's face it. If everyone had said "yes, a shuffle is necessary", then we'd have it.
