Information for new players

Playing on this server is a lot of fun, especially because it has been configured a lot.
This also means that there are lot of files to download (about 60 MB zipped).
Downloading this amount of data, while connecting to a running game is not really feasible. (The game will end before the download is finished).

How to get all files

To avoid long download times, new players should follow this procedure:

  • Register yourself by sending an email to webmaster@realstarman.com
    State your name, your player name and your email address. (If you do not feel comfortable with giving your real name, use a phony one...)
    Please indicate if you would like us to publish your player name and/or your email address on our list of registered players
    Optionally, you can add one sentence, that will go with your player name and your home page. 
  • Get the files from the webmasters. Most probably you will get directions about where you can download them.
  • Whenever things are added to the server, registered users will receive a notification about the update and what they should do.

What are the disadvantages of being a registered player

None. Period.
This is definitely a non-commercial project. Your email address will not be passed on to others unless you specifically request that this is done.

We will only use your player name. Your real or phony name remains a secret.

Why do we want people to register

We want to create a great and a special place to play. However there are some restrictions, e.g. network bandwidth.

For this reason, we need to make sure that you can get updates we apply to the server without being bothered by long download times. We also want to include you in the Starman's Deathtrap history.

That's all.

Limitations

Due to bandwidth restrictions (128 Kbit/s upstream), we can only serve 3 players though the internet at the same time. Some players will connect through the LAN. The teams will be completed by our fantastic bots.

We are working on getting a better bandwidth. Expect more in mid-2002.
