You could also send a Pretender now, and change it later if you find something else that works better.

The game will start soon, though there is always room for another player or two. Once I get all Pretenders file, we will get started.

Hey, Alneyhan.

I am interested and enjoy having you as a moderator for the other MP game I am currently getting spanked in. This would be my 4th MP game...do I qualify as new enough to join or is your preference "brand new" folks?

I think it will be fine, if you believe you can benefit from this sort of game. So welcome aboard!

I have received the Pretender for Ermor; that makes three Pretenders, out of six.

Okay, I'm gonna try something new and go with Arco. Prentender sent.

I have all Pretenders except for Bigdaddy's (Pythium).

Alneyan -
Any chance there's room for one more? I've been "lurking" for months now on the boards, and only play SP so far. Figured I'd give MP a try. Let me know if one more is okay. I'd be willing to select an available race and start a pretender (using 2.01 zen mod, I believe).

Let me know, otherwise I'll just keep watching and get in another game. Thanks!

Welcome aboard Shmonk!

Eight players should fit quite well on Inland (about 18 provinces per nation), and the game hasn't started yet. Please select a land nation (there are very few sea provinces on Inland), create a Pretender using Pretenders 2.01, and send the Pretender file to me (it can be found in the newlords directory).

Ok, I choose Marignon, and have just created a pretender. It's on it's way via email. Thanks!

On average, how long do newbie games last, would you say, 30-50 turns, or not even that long? Just curious to get your impressions.

Re: PBEM game: The first step (Open)
 
I am not sure if a newbie game has a different length compared to other games; usually, games seem to last 60 turns or so, but that depends a lot on the aggressiveness of all the involved parties.

Another map on Inland with 6 teams of 2 players is already nearing its end (I think) at turn 40, while I am hosting a Karan game already past the "turn 100" mark, with no end in clear sight.
