I'm happy with Llama server.

Seconding a Llamaserver game. I haven't played one yet, but it's probably much faster and alot less work on the host. Aswell as the whole don't have to worry about any tampering.

Alright, though, to be honest, I was kind of looking forward to hosting the game :( I feel like I've had my players ask for a new Dungeon Master.

I have absolutely no idea how to set this up. What do I do?

Looks relatively simple, there is a FAQ.

not gunna lie, I'd rather stick to the plan if it gets the game going faster...

I'd like to see turn 1 by the weekend

That's a HORRIBLE connection!

"Did he miss??"
"Uhhh... *dice rolls are 1 2 4 and a 4* ... No, infact, he critted, twice. You die, re-roll."
"...Lift your screen and show me those rolls"
"...No"

While I'm not especially worried about cheating, I'm more worried about RL happening to earwicker, so I'm all for Llamaserver.

First the FAQ: http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/showthread.php?t=35160

To speed things up, I went ahead and made an game on Llama (with the options from the first post)

I've sent in Arco's file.

This is just depressing. I've always avoided multiplayer games because of issues like this, because you can't play for more than ten minutes without someone accusing somebody of possibly cheating because they don't like the way things are going. I expect this from a game like Gears of War, where the majority of players are a bunch of ten-year-olds, but I'm pretty surprised it happened here, as the community seems to be very mature and interested in the experience, not just being "in it to win it".

People might say I'm getting defensive, but the way I look at it, I went out of my way to try to make a fun experience for all of us, only to have my integrity questioned. I was willing to take time out of my life to track down people who were running behind, help people with any issues they might have had, etc.. I'm a busy person, a single parent with a ten year old, so all of the issues with keeping the game running would have cut into my free time, but it would have been a nice change from my usual routine of taking orders from my boss all day long; I felt good that I was going to be the leader of something.

I'd hate to see the game fall apart at this point, but I'm out as far as any hosting goes; that experience has been spoiled to the point that I don't want anything to do with it. Whether it's by email or by server, someone else can take over and deal with it. I still want to play, so whoever takes over, please let me know how to get things set up on my end (i.e., where do I send my pretender?).

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (Beginning--No More Open Spots)
 

Just to clarify the last post, I still want to play in this game, I've just lost interest in being an admin of any type, and hope someone else can do it. I understand if nobody wants to, but hopefully this isn't the case.
