We are pleased to announced another Planetarion Winter Round, which will run on http://xmas.planetarion.com.

Signups will open tomorrow (Wednesday 13th December) and ticks will start on Friday, 15th December for 2 weeks. Some details:
-Ticks will be every 15 minutes
-In-galaxy defence will be 3 ticks not 5
-Galaxies will be buddy packs of 5 plus randoms. We strongly encourage you to use buddy packs, though!
-The shuffle will take place at tick 12 (22:45 GMT on Friday, 15th December).
-Cluster alliances will exist.
-Clusters will be limited to 4 galaxies not 10. There will be no admin disbanding of galaxies, but inactive planets will be auto-exiled. Only galaxy ministers will be cluster alliance officers.
-We will see the return of "Presents" during the shuffle, with each galaxy being ranked by their "Present Power" as before.
-Ship stats will be available when signups open
-Havoc for the Winter round consists of faster-than-normal havoc ticks of 5 minutes per tick. It will start at 10:00 GMT on Saturday, 28th December and continue until Thursday, 9th January.
