Re: Asia Twist - Pbem (Starts Sunday)
 

Well hello all. I have to say that I've been away from the game for a long time. Thank you Pasha for bringing me back. Now, these forums sure have gotten spiffy and it's quite limiting that I cannot "disparage the other person" as set forth in my agreement with the forum holder. I wonder, can I disparage myself? Considering that my dominion skills peaked in Dom2 and never reach higher than a worm, I'd say some self-disparagement is in order.

Anyway, I hope to live long enough to maintain some decent measure of reputation intact.

Bring it on! I already have my mission accomplished sign blowing in the wind.

Indeed, I heard an attack on Darwin (Northern Australia) by Abysian troops is part of the new Baz Luhrmann flick. Timely! :)

What about nation assignment?- We need time to make all sorts of crazy experiments :)

Re: Asia Twist - Pbem (Starts Sunday)
 

"Players should email me their top 5 choices. I have not received choices from: Aethyr, Archae, Wokeye, Dragonfire, DonCorazon or Nikelaos. KO has said that he will play any nation. As soon as I have everyone's preferences, I can then send out nation assignments."

That was the word yesterday, so I guess some people still haven't sent their picks, or Pasha hasn't had a chance to check his mail yet.

Sent mine in yesterday.

I say let the late choosers be punished. Give them what other crappy MA nations there are, the last to choose should get MA Abysia, the crippled nation, or the nation of old cripples ;)

also, i would like to vote for banning ashdod... seriously :)

unless KO wants to play it for some reason - basically, they're too much of a pain, and need at least some hinnom-like nerf

Re: Asia Twist - Pbem (Starts Sunday)
 

Is Ashdod stronger than Jotum or Pythium for that matter?- Possibly yes. Is it that much stronger as to make it broken?

I'm not saying it doesn't necessarily needs to be toned down. Maybe it does. But I'm not sure it must be banned from this game. This is a diplomacy game, if Ashdod takes a huge lead at the beginning a few nations can band together and stop it. Just like with LA Ermor or R'lyeh.

Plus, not all of us are very good at this game. Ashdod is not fearsome in every player's hands.

I think I'm pretty much guaranteed to get my first choice. I don't think a lot of people like my team of choice... That's why I chose them to begin with : )
