It seems that all teams have agreed upon regarding R'lyeh/Mictlan. R'lyeh just sucks without much water and it needs really a lot of time to make everything run.

Just wait, lets leave it for the captain....

Hmm... The proposal that Mictlan has to choose a pretender that has water and astral access is all well and good.

Except that mictlan doesn't *get* a pretender that has water and astral access.

I would propose that we just allow mictlan to have water/astral.

Chris is right, that is really the potential Usurpers Captain's call regarding either R'lyeh or Mictlan. (I personally think R'lyeh is a lot of fun to play around with period even with the water gimping), But I have no problem with either choice. I will however go ahead and implement the agreed upon rubric for the other teams and post the changes, this way at least the other teams are straight pretender wise.

Understand that allowing Mictlan W9S9 bless while other nations are severely restricted and actually no one can take a super-bless, doesn't bring any balance. I must say that jags and eagles are very good even with a single W9 bless.
I'm ok with the current settings just because Mictlan has no pretender with native water+astral

If Mictlan comes in for R'lyeh, the secondary path of the Usurpers is likely to change, and thus available pretender choices are likely to change a bit for the Usurpers. Without R'lyeh, I suspect the paths would be Astral and Nature (will need to look a bit more and apply the same methodology I used for the other teams), not Astral and Water. Any diversions from these basic rules and would need complete approval. Again, trying to keep things simple as possible.

Let's don't change anything without an urgent need? All the nations in Usurpers team get both Astral and Water so Astral-Water paths for their sound good. As Mictlan can't take W9S9 and has to choose, I see no problem in the situation.

Re: Noobs and Vets II: Days of Infamy. MA, BI, Enlisting 14/17.
 

OK, I was wrong, it looks like water can safely remain as the secondary path of the Usurpers whether we have R'lyeh or Mictlan. I thought their might be a slight air or nature bias, but Bandar and Arco don't have air access, and Pythium has no nature at all.

Septimius, NooBliss claims that he can't post at the N&V forums. I read some earlier posts there and seems like there was the same problem with GrudgeBringer. Has it been solved? Or have you used other ways of communication?
What might be the cause of this? Firewall, antivirus, unsupported browser?

Re: Noobs and Vets II: Days of Infamy. MA, BI, Enlisting 14/17.
 

Grudge was the only one who seemed to have that problem last game for some reason or other I was never able to discern. I will get with NooBliss and see if we can discover what is causing his issue. I am assuming he can log on just fine and read the teams messages, correct?
