Bump for llamabeast! Just saw him post in another thread. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

When do we start?

Re: newbtopia- ea game for new players(recruiting)
 

I sent llamabeast a PM. Should be starting any time now, really.

Re: newbtopia- ea game for new players(recruiting)
 

Started! Hurrah!

Right, I did take one potentially controversial decision when starting the game though. In all the other newbie games I've started recently (the "Bat" ones) we've used my modified version of Parganos which has "dead seas", i.e. no population or magic sites in the sea. I forgot to mention that explicitly on this thread but I decided to use it anyway, so I hope (a) that no-one designed a pretender specifically to take the seas, and (b) that everyone's happy with that. It's just that in land-nation only games, seas tend to be a bit silly - whoever finds a Merman Village first gets loads of territory for no effort.

Anyway, I hope you all really enjoy the game. I highly recommend posting lots on the thread in character, and also doing lots of diplomacy, again in character - it adds a lot of fun to the game.

I will send Carkaton the admin password, so he's the one to ask if you want a turn postponed or anything. Well actually you should probably just post here, but he'll be the one to sort it out for you.

Ok, good luck everyone!

If you need to postpone for vacations or whatever, let me know and I'll take care of it. This first turn is on a 48 hour timer just in case of difficulties, after this it'll be on a 24 hour timer until we agree to go to a 48 hour one.

Hmm, did anyone else not receive a turn file? I just re-requested mine. Maybe there is some mixup because I am playing 2 games on llamaserver.

Re: newbtopia- ea game for new players(recruiting)
 

maybe the server somehow messed up your email address. If you still didn't get your turn you can give me your email and I'll re-enter it.

Bah! Guess thats one advantage my naturally amphibious troops won't be able to use http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif Lets hope I can think of a plan b http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Re: newbtopia- ea game for new players(recruiting)
 

So did you get the email moderation?? I notice you still haven't gone...

Re: newbtopia- ea game for new players(recruiting)
 

I guess not, I'm going to postpone hosting once, but if this can't get resolved we're going to have to restart or find a sub.
