I volunteer to fill in a place if you are getting vacant slot for me. I have not played a single multiplayer but i claim to be an expert soloplayer, as i just got proper inet connection.

Re: New MP Game - Random, Anonymous, No Diplomacy
 

Whollaborg: my spot may be available, but the decision will be up to Panther at the end of the day. I am not particularly eager to play, so don't be afraid to take my spot; even if I wanted another game badly, I could just create my own game, and voilà!

Re: New MP Game - Random, Anonymous, No Diplomacy
 

Alneyan,

Thank you for your very kind offer. If Panther decides to let me in i'd promise not to disappoint you.

Re: New MP Game - Random, Anonymous, No Diplomacy
 

Well, it is not quite the end of the day. But I think we need an update from Pasha Dawg on how many pretenders he has. If he has all the pretenders but the one from Huntsman, then I suggest that Whollaborg take that one slot and make a pretender when he is informed from Pasha about the nation. Then we can get the game started right away.

If we are missing more than 1 pretender, then the game will have to be delayed until after both Pasha Dawg and Hunstman return from their time away. This would mean a game start early next week. Since we have already waited a month to get going, what is another few days? This seems attractive at this point instead of trying like heck to get the first turn in before Pasha leaves.

Anyway, Whollaborg can have the first open slot if we don't have all 17 players by the time we want to get going. If we actually end up with 17 players and therefore don't have an open slot, then I have no problem with Whollagborg taking over Alneyan's secret nation.

Note to Pasha: I will have to resend you my pretender when I get home from work today as I am quite certain I forgot the password.

Re: New MP Game - Random, Anonymous, No Diplomacy
 

I did send a Pretender to Pasha too, just in case, and... Thanks Panther, I have forgotten my own password.

Re: New MP Game - Random, Anonymous, No Diplomacy
 

Here is the current list of who sent pretenders.

1. Shmonk: YES
2. Huntsman: Dropping Out?
3. RonD: YES
4. GriffinOfBuerrig: YES
5. Sedna: YES
6. Izaqyos: YES
7. Goblin: YES
8. Turin: YES
9. Jurri: YES
10. Cainehill: YES
11. The Panther: YES
12. Tauren: YES
13. Alneyan: YES, but dropping Out?
14. Bill Paxton: YES
15. Boron: YES
16. Arkas: NO (but, it's coming)
17. King Lear: NO - he tried but no attachment (I sent reminder.)

It seems to me that the best thing would be to postpone the start of the game until after I return (but that would realistically be either Wednesday or Thursday of next week). That way, Huntsman can play. Also, I suggest that Whollaborg should take over Alneyan's slot, since Alneyan would prefer to not play. That will give you 17 players.

Nonetheless, I am happy starting the game before I leave. The trick is dealing with turns while I am away.

Pasha

Re: New MP Game - Random, Anonymous, No Diplomacy
 

Hi All:

Now I have everyone's pretender except Huntsman.

Whollaborg is waiting in the wings. If we delay, he could take Alneyan's slot. If we do not delay, then he could take Huntsman's.

Let me know.

Pasha

Re: New MP Game - Random, Anonymous, No Diplomacy
 

It seems kind of pointless to rush in a 1st turn, and then wait out Pasha's camping trip. To me, anyway.

Re: New MP Game - Random, Anonymous, No Diplomacy
 

I agree with Ron. We no longer have enough time to start the game and try to get it safely migrated to the JM server (if that is what we want to do).

We have waited a month and we might as well wait a few more days. Summer is always tough getting things going because of vacations.

Re: New MP Game - Random, Anonymous, No Diplomacy
 

Heh, good call panther. I for one appreciate the few more days. I'm house-sitting for a cousin, and thus lack my computer (oh for a laptop). That being said, I gave very detailed descriptions to my brother on what he should do if the game had gotten started =)

I'll check the forum again on Wed a week. Happy summer to every one
