Re: ANDalusian Sun. Anonymous LA game for (rather) experienced players (Recruiting)
 

Hello guys.

I'm a noob, but have had the idea kicking around the back of my head for a while to write up a LP of a veterins game with a target audience of the more committed set of new players who might want to become veterins one day (as it stands, the only LPs available are of newbie games aimed at people thinking of buying the game). This game looks like a nice opportunity to go for it. the plan would be to compile information while the game is im progress, and only begin to publish the LP after the game has finished.

To do this I would need 1-3 of you lot to volunteer to my new-player analysis (I would write up the one who survives longest), and then send me an email every turn including: both parts of the turn file (for before and after) and a quick summery of what messages you sent. I would also need you're pretender file at the beginning of the game.

you'd get your name in lights for no effort on your part, and we as a community would get a good resource for noobs to make their game more rigorous.

If other players are ok with this, my email address is in the database.

Since we haven't started yet, I see no reason to stop you. Little point joining a game when you prefer other settings. Confirm your decision fast though, since it will affect Calahans Capital-fixing work.

Pretty much the same for me, though less empathically than in your case I think. Let's see what 1.8 brings.

Yeah, probably a bad idea after nation picks. I don't really have an oppinion about the mod yet, allthough the fact that it (supposedly) pays off to site-search holy now alone gives it a plus in my books.


I had originally asked Sasooli to only PM players their own nation and a full list to Dimaz thinking it would allow till game start for late signups. Capital fixing obviously changes that and I intended to ask Sasooli to just post/let you know a full nation list so you could get to work on the map, but I seem to not have gotting around to it somehow.

I'd say we start saturday at the earliest, allthough with Calahan having to wait for nation confirmation to fix the map, having to wait for the map to start the game, and then waiting for all pretenders to be sent in it might run a bit later.

I believe I've told Calahan what he needs to know.

He suggested I post the full nation list here anyway, partly so people aren't tempted to leave Pretender design until the last minute so they can look at who else is playing. I'm happy to do that if Damiz and Amhazair have no objection?

Re: ANDalusian Sun. Anonymous LA game for (rather) experienced players (Recruiting)
 

Sure, go ahead I'd say.

Re: ANDalusian Sun. Anonymous LA game for (rather) experienced players (Recruiting)
 

This certainly is a nice idea, and I would not object to it in principle. You are aware though that this is an anonymous game, and thus you should keep peoples identities secret, and not even hint anything you might know or have learned until after the game is finished?

I'm also not sure that this is the first choice of game to comment on, as it takes away the entire diplomacy and trade aspect of the game. (It also means no one would have to summarize messages, since there would be none. :D)

Re: ANDalusian Sun. Anonymous LA game for (rather) experienced players (Recruiting)
 

Jomon player asked me to post the following information about the problem he has with the mod (I rephrased/removed some portions of his message to protect anonymity - even writing style can reveal the author):

Re: ANDalusian Sun. Anonymous LA game for (rather) experienced players (Recruiting)
 

Yes sorry guys, I'm out. My mistake, should've checked the mod before entering.

+1 on the 1.8 CBM thoughts. :)

Re: ANDalusian Sun. Anonymous LA game for (rather) experienced players (Recruiting)
 

As I mentioned, I wouldn't publish anything until after you all had finished. as for no deplomacy: seems to be quite a common choice in vets games, and the no messages would be vary handy...

so yeah, if anyone is up for it, drop me a PM

Re: ANDalusian Sun. Anonymous LA game for (rather) experienced players (Recruiting)
 

I have now checked both mod nations, and while I didn't see anything wrong with Ulm Reborn, I did notice Jomon's Cur Scout has 40 leadership, which I'm pretty certain he's not supposed to have.
Yeah, but appart from publishing the thing you might also comment on something you saw in a certain battle of ask questions about it in some other thread that might give someone's identity away. You'd have to be very careful about everything you say.

Having said that, if you're certain you can protect anonimity I have no objections. Does anyone else? (If anyone does that's fine with me, I think we all have to be on the same page for this one.) IF we do this I think it best that no one says in public he's participating, instead just PM'ing you about it, as an extra layer of 'protection.'

Re: ANDalusian Sun. Anonymous LA game for (rather) experienced players (Recruiting)
 

Yep, confirmed that Jomon has the two issues listed: Cur Scout has leadership, Woodsman Blowpipe recruitable (the Jikininki and Akurojin are correct). I've reported these to Sombre.

Shouldn't present a problem though, so long as the Jomon player doesn't either use the Curs as commanders or recruit Blowpipes. Be good, Jomon player! (and... am I talking to myself? Hmm...)
