I've run a good handful of these and they have always been fun. The plan is to do a snake draft for either faction or Home sys location, and then roll for speaker randomly.
I'm adding an alpha and beta wormhole token to the map for a total of 8 systems with wormholes!
I envision a painful game of TI. The text for the playstyle preference "Aggressive" from the bot should inspire you. No supports/whispers, 12VP 4/4/4. Play only as: Sardakk, Cabal, Muaat, L1z1x, Letnev, Yin, Arborec, Nekro. Don't trust anyone! Trust is having a fleet at each of your borders with loads of infantry on each planet. Plan for the long run! If you sacrifice too much to score that objective now, you might lose too much of your plastic/planets and will get stepped on. Diplomacy and cooperation is ok, but always keep your eyes on the prize, only one player can win. Long term truces are discouraged. No obvious opting in to ceasefire swaps!
Already have interest from 5 players but if anybody changed their mind I will look for some more.

also @frank geyser showed interest so if one of you don't wanna play anymore or willing to give up the seat that works
