Re: Revenge of Pimping - Teams Assigned - Check in if you are playing!
 

Sorry for the confusion nozshand - hadn't noticed you weren't on the list- thought there'd just been a reshuffled. Very happy to team up with you!

Happy with whatever - just let us know where to send pretenders etc. I'm Marignon and nozshand is Phythium btw.

Re: Revenge of Pimping - Teams Assigned - Check in if you are playing!
 

Final teams are presumably:
Mictlan/Abysia - DrPraetorious+, Hadrian_II+
Pythium/Marignon - James243+, nozshand+
Atlantis/Bogarus - Nikelaos+, revolution+
Man/R'yeh - Zeldor+, AreaofEffect+
Ermor/Agartha - Unoptimized+, StrictlyRockers+
Caelum/Utgard - Aezeal+, EvilHomer(?)
T'ien Ch'i/Jomon - Psisoldier+, Ershalim+
Ulm/Pangaea - Micah+, Lingchih+

I'm finishing up the map now.

Re: Revenge of Pimping - Teams Assigned - Check in if you are playing!
 

Can't wait.

P.S.: Zeldor should answer his private messages.

Re: Revenge of Pimping - Teams Assigned - Check in if you are playing!
 

Ugh, that took longer than expected. Barring some kinda glitch, game should be up for loading pretenders tomorrow.

Re: Revenge of Pimping - Teams Assigned - Check in if you are playing!
 

I won't be back until Thursday evening, but my Pretender is done and it should be a simple matter to upload it then.

Re: Revenge of Pimping - Teams Assigned - Check in if you are playing!
 

Cool. Looking forward to it Dr. P.

Re: Revenge of Pimping - Teams Assigned - Check in if you are playing!
 

I was away for 3 days [as I said before].

Are we playing with any mods? I hope it has at least CBM gods in it.

Re: Revenge of Pimping - Teams Assigned - Check in if you are playing!
 

I need to find my manual so I can start the game, as it needs my CD key manually entered. It's buried in my car somewheres.

Is there a problem if I play from a CD key (on my machine,) that is the same as the CD key on the server (which will be using my key)?

Re: Revenge of Pimping - Teams Assigned - Check in if you are playing!
 

Not sure...

Re: Revenge of Pimping - Upload Pretenders!
 

We are uploading pretenders.

There is a map file at the root of the thread, when you download it if you start a game you can see your start location. Let me know if anything is wrong - I can still make changes to the map before the game actually starts.

It also has a mod file which you will need. At present it does nothing, I may add:
* A blessing hotfix (does LA Agartha still need this?)
* Any hotfixes required by current or future patches.

Enjoy!

Re: Revenge of Pimping - Upload Pretenders!
 

When I try to start a game on that map to check it out the game crashes without any info.

Re: Revenge of Pimping - Upload Pretenders!
 

Weird, it worked earlier :sad:

Re: Revenge of Pimping - Upload Pretenders!
 

Okay, for some reason it has decided that #setland is a map directive which has been educated to be evil :(.

Debug output was not informative, unfortunately. Any suggestions?

Re: Revenge of Pimping - Upload Pretenders!
 

Seconding Zeldor's problem. I have no idea how the game actually works, so I can't help there. But at least we know it's not just an isolated issue?

Re: Revenge of Pimping - Upload Pretenders!
 

Wang.zip, attached to the previous post, has a .map file which actually works.

Re: Revenge of Pimping - Upload Pretenders!
 

Oh, super. It works just fine. :)

Re: Revenge of Pimping - Upload Pretenders!
 

Hey, I'm back, but I find that my PC is totally fried now, and won't even turn on. I'm in the process of putting Dom3 on my Mac and installing all the updates, maps and mods. When I get that going, I'll remake my pretender and upload it. I'll try for tonite, but it might be tomorrow.

Thanks

Re: Revenge of Pimping - Upload Pretenders!
 

Nations in red have not uploaded. It'd be nice if we could start Monday of next week?

Mictlan/Abysia - DrPraetorious+, Hadrian_II+
Pythium/Marignon - James243+, nozshand+
Atlantis/Bogarus - Nikelaos+, revolution+
Man/R'yeh - Zeldor+, AreaofEffect+
Ermor/Agartha - Unoptimized+, StrictlyRockers+
Caelum/Utgard - Aezeal+, EvilHomer(?)
T'ien Ch'i/Jomon - Psisoldier+, Ershalim+
Ulm/Pangaea - Micah+, Lingchih+

Re: Revenge of Pimping - Upload Pretenders!
 

I don't think I'll be able to get things done then.. it's very hectic for me and I'm not happy to miss this game but with job interviews, night shifts starting tomorrow and needing to study for my advanced trauma live support course after I've prepared the last job interview I'm not going to get this done.

Re: Revenge of Pimping - Upload Pretenders!
 

Well, Evilhomer hasn't checked in either - I'm going to cut the Caelum/Utgard position out of the map and move some start locations around a bit.

Re: Revenge of Pimping - Upload Pretenders!
 

hmm i'll give revolution a pm

Re: Revenge of Pimping - Upload Pretenders!
 

Ok how the hell do you upload? when I connect I only see the screen that tells me to choose my nation, I do that and it asks about my god but never lets me select my pretender, I dont know if it went ahead and did it automaticly (hopefully uploaded the right one if it did) or if something is wrong.

maybe you can check and see if Im good or not.

Re: Revenge of Pimping - Upload Pretenders!
 

If you only have one saved pretender for your nation, it should upload that pretender automatically.

If you're worried about it, make another pretender with a different name for the same nation, a dialogue should appear and you'll choose which God you want.

I'm wasted, I'll deal with this some more in the morning.

Re: Revenge of Pimping - Upload Pretenders!
 

I will upload my pretender today.

Re: Revenge of Pimping - Upload Pretenders!
 

All hail X'chll'at-aa, Lord of the Great Old Ones, The Unborn God, Enemy of All That Live !!

Re: Revenge of Pimping - Upload Pretenders!
 

Phtagn to that. Put up or shut up.

Re: Revenge of Pimping - Upload Pretenders!
 

What are we waiting on..

Agartha= StrictlyRockers
Caelum/Utgard - Aezeal, EvilHomer

As far as I can see these people have not uploaded their pretenders.. Is anyone sending them PM's? or know another game their in? I sent EvilHomer a PM since he posted on this first page and could just click his name but havent sent the other two one cause Im lazy but its not really my job to be doing that anyways.

Re: Revenge of Pimping - Upload Pretenders!
 

My understanding from this is that we are only waiting on StricklyRockers. I contacted him about a nation trade quite a while back and he refused. He is at least half aware that he's suppose to be playing this game. Unoptimized might have contacted him more recently.

Re: Revenge of Pimping - Upload Pretenders!
 

If he doesn't upload by the end of the Day I suppose I'll open his position up to a replacement?

Has Unoptimized heard from him?

Re: Revenge of Pimping - Upload Pretenders!
 

I have not heard anything, which makes me sad. I sent him a pm or two as well, so I'm not sure of what is going on.

Re: Revenge of Pimping - Upload Pretenders!
 

I kinda liked my starting position. hopefully we can get someone soon, but hell if you get 3 responses let em take the other two nations and no shuffling start positions would be needed..

Although I just checked that thread and see 0 responses so far, although you may have posted it 2 minutes ago for all i know.

Re: Revenge of Pimping - Upload Pretenders!
 

Hm. This is a dill of a pickle. I still have no reply to any of my messages from Rockers. If it comes down to it, I'll happily play team-mateless. It'll involve some sad strat re-working, but I can manage.

Re: Revenge of Pimping - Upload Pretenders!
 

I suppose that LA Ermor is actually almost-balanced as a solo start - everyone teams up on you anyway, what's to lose?

Unless there are objections, I will rework the map so that Ermor starts, by himself, in the middle, with some guaranteed mines nearby.

Re: Revenge of Pimping - Upload Pretenders!
 

HA. That sounds awesome dude, thanks. If there is any convenient way to re-work my pretender then I'd love to. If it is not SUPER easy for you to do, I am more than content to stick it out with my current setup.

Re: Revenge of Pimping - Upload Pretenders!
 

Just log in and send in a replacement pretender - it will overwrite the old one.

Re: Revenge of Pimping - Upload Pretenders!
 

I'm sorry I have to bow out of this game. I was really looking forward to it TNDP, but I have RL problems that get in the way of gaming lately. I have internet issues at my house for one thing, and also my dad just got into a serious accident on his motorcycle.

You all should try to get izzyz to sub for me. He is looking for a good game.

SR

Re: Revenge of Pimping - Upload Pretenders!
 

My replacement pretender is in.

Also; Rockers, I hope that your dad is all right. That is aweful. I'll be thinking of you while desperatly fighting off attempts to halt the march of the implacable dead. No hard feelings whatsoever :).

Re: Revenge of Pimping - Upload Pretenders!
 

So Frank Trollman is back from his red cross deployment and might take LA Agartha - presumably I'll know by morning.

In any case, I'll finalize the map file and we'll start the game sometime tomorrow. There will be no time limit on the first turn (in case of technical difficulties) and then 24 hrs per turn after that.

Sorry this has taken so long to launch; people always drop out when you actually start a game, but with a team game the problem is magnified.

Re: Revenge of Pimping - Upload Pretenders!
 

So...I've got my dancing shoes on. Are we dancing?

Re: Revenge of Pimping - Upload Pretenders!
 

Either Frank will upload a pretender - or he won't.

Either way, we're starting tonight!

Dynatherms Connected - Let's go Voltron Force!
 

And we're go.

Once this turn has gone in, I'll move to 24 hr + QH.

I'll go to 48 hr *no QH* after that, as soon as people's turns actually matter.

Let me know if there are any problems.

Re: Revenge of Pimping - Let's go Voltron Force!
 

Errrr, I'd suggest sending a PM to all the nations that havent sent their turn in yet, they probably dont know we have started... This game has kinda taken a while to start and they may have forgotten or not check back too often.

Re: Revenge of Pimping - Let's go Voltron Force!
 

We will probably have to restart anyway [DrP knows why].

Re: Revenge of Pimping - Let's go Voltron Force!
 

Enlighten me as to why we have to restart. I have already done my turn.

Re: Revenge of Pimping - Let's go Voltron Force!
 

I understand the concerns but I don't think we can restart at this point. If several people chime in asking for a restart I would do it, but....

Also, everyone contact your partner. I'll contact people who haven't done turns by PM this afternoon, but if they're not checking the forum they're probably not checking forum messages, either.

Re: Revenge of Pimping - Let's go Voltron Force!
 

DrP:

Did you read my PM? You didn't password your pretender either.

Re: Revenge of Pimping - Let's go Voltron Force!
 

Yes, I know. But I'm not going to restart b/c of 2 such oversights.

Re: Revenge of Pimping - Let's go Voltron Force!
 

DrP:

I think that it is rather 2 people that have passworded, not the other way.

Re: Revenge of Pimping - Let's go Voltron Force!
 

The game has already been delayed too much, we'll just have to depend on people to play honorably. If four other people demand a restart, I'll do it.

Re: Revenge of Pimping - Let's go Voltron Force!
 

heh, it's a problem w/ the prevalence of llamaserver's games, as those don't use passwords.

when i first started playing, i never bothered to p/w. Norfleet convinced me otherwise ;)

however, if the server maintains some sort of connection history, as to whether new/suspicious IP's have d/led the players turns, then that provides a modicum of protection.
