New Network Game Starting
 

This is a restart of a recently-aborted game. All players must re-apply for positions by posting here. First person to claim a nation gets it. The game will run on Argitoth's 24/7 server, with these settings:

Independants: 6
Magic sites: 50
Victory: 60% of provinces on whichever map is selected
Map: Aran (4-6 players) or Desert Eye (7+ players)

The game will run Monday/Wednesday/Friday at the slowest, but players able to play at least one turn per day (especially at the beginning) are preferred. And please don't sign up if there's any chance at all that you'll be dropping out within the first 20 turns.

Re: New Network Game Starting
 

Tien Chi! I can play 1/day. (or 2/day, if possible).

Re: New Network Game Starting
 

I'll try C'tis again. Maybe re-think the pretender, though.

Re: New Network Game Starting
 

I'm in, and it's R'Yleh again for me.

Re: New Network Game Starting
 

And everyone remember:

PASSWORD PROTECT YOUR GOD!!!!

It would be nice to have a password repository, though - a person who had all the passwords in case of a drop. I'll volunteer, though ideally, it would be the host, initiator, or (most ideally) a non-player. For obvious reasons.

P.S. I assume (these were not stated) we are going normal richness, normal events. Anyone mind if we have a 15-slot hall of fame? I'd prefer 20 slots, but 15's the max=)

Re: New Network Game Starting
 

Yes, anything unstated was intended to be the default. I have no problem with a 15-entry HOF. Actually, come to think of it, I'd also prefer to have the score graphs turned off (to avoid getting depressed when I'm obviously losing).

Re: New Network Game Starting
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">That's a good idea, too. I actually LOVE the score graphs, but they reveal a little too much info for MP. Or a lot too much, perhaps. Do you still get to see them at the end of your game, when they are turned off?

Re: New Network Game Starting
 

I've changed my mind. I'll take Man, and Argitoth will be playing C'tis.

Re: New Network Game Starting
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Uhh, that would be pretender... just for the record.

Re: New Network Game Starting
 

Put me down for Pangaea please http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: New Network Game Starting
 

I'm interested in joining this one, Ulm preferred please.
I can play most days, UK GMT.

Re: New Network Game Starting
 

I'm just happy to play..............

I will take whatever is left.

Re: New Network Game Starting
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Well, there are a lot left, so name something=)

Re: New Network Game Starting
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">That would be R'lyeh http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: New Network Game Starting
 

Pythium. 1/day. gmt+2.
I'll upload my pretender this evening.

Re: New Network Game Starting
 

ok I will choose Machakan


can someone email me details on what I do next as this will be my first ever network game.

Re: New Network Game Starting
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Heheh, Machaka. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: New Network Game Starting
 

shouldn't that be Hehehe ?

Re: New Network Game Starting
 

Is the server up?
ip: 68.98.86.49 port: 1111 ?

Tried to connect but failed.

Re: New Network Game Starting
 

its not up until i get the 'ok'.

Re: New Network Game Starting
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">nooo, I like to add an H at the end because it's not Hee Hee, it's Heh Heh.

Hee Hee, Heh Heh, get the difference? One is a long E sound, the other is a short E.

Re: New Network Game Starting
 

We currently have:

T'ien Ch'i: Saber Cherry
Man: Zapmeister
C'tis: Argitoth
R'lyeh: Graeme Dice
Pangaea: st.patrik
Ulm: Delphinium
Pythium: izaqyos
Machaka: Captain Scarlett

so we'll be playing in the Desert Eye.

I'll leave registration open for another 6-8 hours in case there's any stragglers, then ask Argitoth to put up the server at:

ip: 68.98.86.49 port: 1111

Re: New Network Game Starting
 

Server Up

If everyone was to have ICQ, MSN, Yahoo, or AIM, I could easily tell everyone when the next turn is.

Re: New Network Game Starting
 

For Captain Scarlett (and anyone else unfamiliar with network games) Argitoth wrote an excellent set of instructions on creating a desktop shortcut to the game here

To get started, design your pretender and connect using the shortcut. Choose your nation, and your pretender details will be automatically uploaded.

Disconnect, then reconnect periodically to see if everyone has submitted their pretender yet. When they have, your turnfile will be automatically downloaded, and you'll be able to choose the game and play your turn offline.

Then reconnect to upload you turn, etc.

Re: New Network Game Starting
 

I'm in ! An easy way to do the shortcut is to cut & paste the command from the topic - make sure the quotes are put on. Good luck to you all.

Re: New Network Game Starting
 

Heheh, it looks like no one has any messengers.

I'll just post when the next turn is here. I might move this topic to Dominions X. It's a lot easier for me AND you for when I announce the next turns.

Re: New Network Game Starting
 

I am abysia.

Re: New Network Game Starting
 

I just tested from work and I am able to connect. I am about to leave for home and will have my prender set up in a couple of hours.

Re: New Network Game Starting
 

Hey is there still room for a Joutunheim..? I could go once/day to start with, but I'll be away from the computer Dec 24th-29th so would need a pause during those days -- let me know if this is OK.
