Re: Noobs vs. Vets III: Revolution, MA, CBM, Nation Selection Underway.

I think septimius is inclined to play with as many players as can be convinced to play before the game starts. If there's enough for 14-7 right now, it's probably safe to assume that the game will start with 14 noobs and 7 vets.

Also, I'd like to know if ratio 12-6 is final and thus there's no sense to keep following the thread. If Hadrian wants to be an alternate then the game lacks one noob team member to have 14-7 (Hopolsternum wants to play, as far as I understand). I just don't like jumping into the train that already started moving so it is best decided now.

Yes, I did want as many as possible but we are having issues bringing in the noobs, despite everything we've done and there's at least 1 noob we may need to drop. There seems to be a noob shortage of late, especially of the fresh green variety. We could wait it out and so who else joins, maybe even reach maximum but as the vets don't like large teams to begin with I think it best to see if we can start with just 12-6.

So vets it may be best if we drop ano (sorry ano) for now and Hadrian II will go to alternate. Do you want chrispederson in the starting lineup? if so, someone else must go alternate.

Do we want maps with lots of water (if so, please give me Shinuyama and place me on the coast! ;) )?

Probably, as I'm not inclined to do a hell of a lot of work on them. I can delete the specials if that's what people want.

TwoBits, likes number 2. Very good, keep those opionions coming in on the map. Tell me which one ya like. I'm inclined toward Planet Rorshach myself.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets III: Revolution, MA, CBM, Nation Selection Underway.

Ok :)
I'd say it would be best if chris joined the noob team though.

You think chris is not vet material?

Re: Noobs vs. Vets III: Revolution, MA, CBM, Nation Selection Underway.

I do. Perhaps, not a noob for this game as well but if he played for your team, personally I wouldn't mind.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets III: Revolution, MA, CBM, Nation Selection Underway.

Ah, sorry about my absence, I've been looking for appartments in Cali. Grad school and such :). I can happily play another nation, and I will say hi on the noob boards soon.

That might be stretching things.

If I don't here from Vellon soon, we shall be minus a noob. And Hoplosternum will be in.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets III: Revolution, MA, CBM, Nation Selection Underway.

Sorry, been a bit out of touch with this game again. I just posted in the Vet forum, giving command over to theDemon. I will play whatever nation I am assigned. Heh, I'm not even sure who all the vet players are. But, I'm sure we will get it together before the game starts.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets III: Revolution, MA, CBM, Nation Selection Underway.

pending hearing back from drp, I think the vet team membership that's on the first post of this thread is what we're going with
