Actually, if I'd want to be nitpicking: what I said in the IRC channel was "Sensori, the game is supposed to be for newbies" - no more and no less IIRC... You then quickly decided on your own to remove your request to join the game, so I assume that you don't consider yourself a real newbie!? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

Re: lolwut
 

That's not true. I decided to remove my request after this:

<lch> Sensori, Bluebird isn't a newb, I know, I don't know why he signed up for this... but as he adds two players to the game and I'm still looking for players, I can't refuse

AND THIS!

<lch> or maybe I let you in and you restrict to a 1on1, Bluebird and you :3

You said that Bluebird isn't a newbie, but you'd put me to duel with him, so you pretty much claimed that I'm not a newbie in the process as well. :OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Re: lolwut
 

Dayum, a' been found out now fo' shizzle!

Re: lolwut
 

Hmm - ok, because Sensori is making so much noise: I was looking for a game where Mow and I could join. Mow is a real utter newbie, having just maintained a single game of mine for 2 turns while I was away. So, I was just about to create an own game when I discovered Ich's offer and asked if we could join.

I do fully understand that this is a newbie game, where I participate mostly because I want to play with Mow and I can do a little bit of coaching for everybody: I will give feedback to the other players and play defensive.

This is Ich's game, and I do not think that there is a reason for him to justify himself. The set of players has probably developed over time, and there is not consisted rule to justify it anyway.

If he thinks that I am unbalancing the game, he could tell me any time and Mow and I would withdraw, no hard feelings. But the goal of this game is to learn Dom3 and to have fun for everybody, and that is the way that I will play http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: lolwut
 

As Sensori wrote, he's just pulling a leg here. I just hoped that Newbies could enjoy their first MP game and have some fun and success even with "weak" MP tactics without being pummeled to death by turn 5-10. As long as that's the case, I don't mind. Should you start a savage bloodbath among them I might emulate LA R'lyeh's insanity and change some of your orders before I host a turn, maybe. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

We're waiting for Mow's pretender, then I'll start the game.

Hmm.. I had problems to download the update. Sorry for the delay.

My pretender is on the way.

Re: pretender
 

Okay, the game has started now. Everybody should have received a message from the host with the info how to connect to the server etc. - if you have not received the message then please check your Spam folder and add the email address of the host to your Whitelist. If you can't even find it in your Spam folder then report it here.

The timer is set for 48 hours per turn, if you all are done before that then it will automatically host the new turn even before that. So better check back on the game once per day. In case you won't have time to do your turns in time because you'll be travelling or for whatever other reason, please leave a message here in the thread in advance and send me an email (you can just reply to the host messages).

Have a good game and have fun, everybody!

P.S.: In case some other game already uses the same name, please tell me about it and I'll change it.

Re: pretender
 

Hmmm... I've greylisting on my mailserver. And your mailserver tried to deliver the mail only once (10:31:45) and then never again.

Might it be that the mail server you use do not handle RFC correct?

Re: pretender
 

I'm using nbSMTP over a smtp relay server for the turn notifications. It is only called once, that's correct. I could switch back to sendmail if you prefer that, although I don't trust it that much.

Re: pretender
 

Actually, it seems as if even nbSMTP is resending emails:

<font class="small">Code:</font><hr /><pre>############################################ ########################
# THIS IS A WARNING ONLY. YOU DO NOT NEED TO RESEND YOUR MESSAGE. #
################################################## ##################

Your message could not be delivered for 24 hour(s).
It will be retried until it is 4 day(s) old.

The Postfix program

&lt;Kxxxx@Exxxxx.de&gt;: host xxxx.Exxxxx.de[xx.xxx.xxx.xx] said: xxx-xxx.xxx.xx.xx
is not yet authorized to deliver mail from 451 &lt;xxxxxxx@xxxxxxx.xxxx&gt; to
&lt;xxxxx@xxxxxx.de&gt;. Please try later. (in reply to RCPT TO command)</pre><hr />

Looks like this game is having a good hosting frequency so far.
