                       Galaxy Hall of Fame and Infamy
                       ==============================
 
Recording the meritous results of past Galaxy games played over the
Internet
and allocating points to the players concerned, based on their past
efforts.
(Galaxy was written and maintained by Russell Wallace as a PBeM)
 
Health Warning
--------------
Be warned, all the following persons have killed billions of sentient 
beings and should be treated with utmost caution !!
Most are responsible for the genocide of complete species !!
All should be treated as armed and dangerous.
 
Rules
-----
   1) The winning score of a game is the number of points equal to the 
      number of players at the start of the game e.g. 40 players start
the 
      game, there are 40 points to be scored by the winner(s).
   2) If a single person wins, they get the total score.
   3) If an alliance of players wins, the number of points is divided
evenly
      between the alliance members, based on the ratios of final
industry
      scores. This helps add incentive to having either a single winner
or 
      having the highest industry.
   4) Scores are cumulative for each player, and rankings are displayed
in 
      order of points won.
   5) All Galaxy games played over the Internet and using Russell
Wallace's 
      code qualify, as long as they are publicly advertised. Private
games,
      or significant variations from the original code, must be
considered 
      separately. (They will probably be included but we would really 
      prefer to keep close to the original code)
   6) The rankings will be posted to Rec.Games.PBM at regular intervals.
   7) Winning races which change hands during a game for any reason are
only 
      recorded for the final player. Previous players receive no credit
for 
      their part in the development of the race. (It is recognised that 
      this may not be totally fair on them, especially if they have
dropped
      out for reasons outside their control, but there seems no fair way
of
      managing this.)
