If they wish to prolong their agony for five months with some mewling NAP, that's fine by me.

Now that's the spirit! :D I can't think of any good riposte right now though - any good comebacks, fellow Noobs?

The hands off capitals for 5 turns was only suggested by Hoplo because Dr. P seemed to have an issue regarding the capitals being known beforehand. And since, I didn't want to change this, I also proposed it as measure to reassure the vets and calm their fears. I also reminded everyone that actual nation locations would not be known by either side until contact is made.

We noobs are certainly no sissies and I'm sure we can do without it just as much as the vets. Generally I would encourage everyone though to make smart decisions early on and refrain from taking risks that might backfire. With the capitals being known, it only makes sense that people would take precautions to protect it. That being said, I am sure our noobs are eager to give the vets what is coming to them, therefore the vets should not expect any mercy!

Does that mean we can start uploading pretenders there?

Yes. You can upload whenever you are ready. I'll be uploading the map with the modified starts very soon.

Yes, Baalz. The vets may attack each other at will. We noobs shall not interfere.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets III: Revolution, MA, CBM, Pretender Design/Upload

So to be clear - is it hands-off capitals for the first five turns or no?

Thanks for the input. Ahh, I always get excited when I see a potential fresh green noob for our game. Have no fear though,I'd like to have you as a noob alternate, this may give you a chance to sample a team game, without commiting yourself the whole game.

If you can speak for all your teamates and say that you do not want it, then I will see what our team thinks. Probably the best way is to have the noob captains speak for their team. If either team's captain says yes, then we will do it, otherwise we shall not. Fair enough? I'm sending out a PM to them now.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets III: Revolution, MA, CBM, Pretender Design/Upload

What the... noob team captains? As in plural? Singular team and plural captain, or plural team and singular captain per team? Or plural team and plural captain for No Noob Left Behind?

Out with their identities, so we know who to slay first for maximum morale effect!

To go where no pretender has gone before. Father of Gods has been submitted.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets III: Revolution, MA, CBM, Pretender Design/Upload

Personally, I would've prefered to have the actual capital locations hidden from the other team - and let use choose whatever province #s we wanted in a certain band.

As is, it'll take more than 5 turns to get to a capital anyway, even with a flyer - so the rule strikes me as pointless but harmless.

Ah, I smell a Greek tragedy in the making. Something about hubris...
