Cool Yucky, I'll put you down for Eriu.

We'll probably use Parganos for the map. It'll be Edi's fixed version (see the link in the Capybara thread). So you probably have all information you need to design your pretenders, so upload them whenever you're ready.

The game won't start till sometime next week though - sometime Monday-Thursday probably, depending when sum1won can start (his holidays start next week, and he would rather not start before then). This gives everyone a chance to play with their nations a bit and think about pretenders, if you want to.

Hmm... interesting point, llamabeast. Making instant enemies is one way to die... But combined with certain globals I could get insanely wealthy. Probably best for me to try another race. I'll experiment with a few others, but my default will remain C'tis, because I have some familiarity with them. If I can get a handle on another, and like it, I'll let you know.

And... first Dom mp game here... Can two people select the same nation, or should I narrow my practice sessions to ones not already claimed?

I'd like to join as Abysia if it's still open.
Thanks

Robble robble?
Blessing Hot Fix
Worthy Heroes
Edi's fixed Parganos

Robble robble!
Epic Heroes - interesting idea, but I haven't tried it

Re: Second newbie game (recruiting)
 

Lazy - two people can't select the same nation, so you have to choose from the ones which haven't been taken yet.

carlosib - cool, I'll put you down.

Lazy again - Robble robble? Anyway, thanks very much, that's very helpful. Epic Heroes is indeed interesting, but it changes the game a great deal. Also they're just starting the first test game with it (also on the LlamaServer, so I've been following it), so it probably isn't really final yet. We won't use it this time, I think.

Re: Second newbie game (recruiting)
 

Ah, I forgot to say - it would be a little better if everyone's pretenders _didn't_ have passwords on. Unlike a network game, no-one else will have access to your turns anyway (they won't be e-mailed them). If you don't have a password it will make it easier for a sub to take over should you disappear.

It doesn't matter too much though (especially if you don't intend to disappear http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif ), so don't worry about re-uploading if you've already sent your pretender in.

Re: Second newbie game (recruiting)
 

I did send the pretender, but i'm not on the "Nations joined so far" list?

Re: Second newbie game (recruiting)
 

Robble robble? Completely random, one-time channeling of the HamBurgler. I've narrowed my choices for this game down to Agartha and Shinuyama, leaning towards Agartha. Don't worry about reserving any particular one, just yet. If I take to long to make up my mind, its my problem.

Re: Second newbie game (recruiting)
 

I should be able to send my stuff in tommorow evening, unless something comes up.

Re: Second newbie game (recruiting)
 

Cool. Loren has signed up by PM as well, so the game is full!

sum1won - let me know when you'll be able to start the game. I'll be away this weekend, back Monday. I can start the game then, or we can wait a day or two if you want.
