Re: Silicon Wolves, everybody in the pool (upload pretenders)
 

The game was prematurely started. Won't mention names. But we'll need to wait for Gandalf to reset the game before you can put in your pretenders again.

Repeated for emphasis: do not "start the game". I believe this time that option will be removed and I'll start the game manually.

So, bit of a delay, I will post here when the game is back up for joining.

Okay game is restarted. Same port as before. Get pretenders in!

Re: Silicon Wolves, everybody in the pool (upload pretenders)
 

Still waiting for pretender from Atlantis, Hinnom, and Niefelheim. The person who was trying to register has not gotten in touch with me nor gotten their pretender in; I will give them tomorrow to do so or I'll open the game back up to a seventh player.

Re: Silicon Wolves, everybody in the pool (upload pretenders)
 

Unfortunately I won't have time today to submit my pretender. You can expect him/her/it tomorrow morning (European time).

Re: Silicon Wolves, everybody in the pool (upload pretenders)
 

Thats fine rotarr, just you left now, we can wait until tomorrow.

Everyone else has gotten theirs in so expect the game to start late tonight (NA time) or early tomorrow!

Re: Silicon Wolves, everybody in the pool (upload pretenders)
 

Got room for 1 more? EA Tien?

Re: Silicon Wolves, everybody in the pool (upload pretenders)
 

Assuming rotarr has no problems we is full senor.

Ready to go!

Re: New game! EA: Silicon Wolves, 7 players, looking for players.
 

Having played quite a few games on Aran (in SP), the northern peninsula is actually not that bad - the SA players only got thoroughly screwed because there were probably too many nations on a map not meant for that, and the three players scrunched up there were serendipitously well suited to destroy each other right quick. In the current setting, where land nations can expect about 15 provinces each, it's alright.

The smaller peninsula however is a deathtrap, period. Doubly so if your strat hangs around high resource, cap only units/commanders, since you're guaranteed to have your capital border 2+ water provinces which will be, if not entirely inaccessible, at least claimed and contested by Atlantis in our game. Those resources you were banking on are going bye-bye. So's that early expansion.

Yes, I'm sort of sweating this right now, why do you ask ? :D

Re: Silicon Wolves, GAME ON! See OP for additional details
 

Best of luck everyone.

Keep your toques on...
