Twelve by High Magic - New Mosehansen Game - GAME FULL
 

I've created a new game on Mosehansen as a sort of alternative to the magic-poor games there currently. This game is to be my stress-relief during Finals, so please adhere to the below rules if joining:

* Reserve your army by this thread. Do not steal spots.

* No early drop-outs. If you're going to play, commit to playing through the first 30 turns.

* Give 24 hour notice before botting. That way, if a human player wants to take your place, they can. I prefer humans to the AI in all cases.

* Drop the occasional post here with some flavor, be it role-play, trash-talking (within reason, of course), or just commiserating about how awful your Pretender is.

Settings:

Sites: (edit) 55
Research: Easy
Richness: Rich
Indy Difficulty: 9

I've yet to decide who I'm playing but will post here shortly with my decision. Enjoy all!

By the way, do not start the game. I will get her running as soon as we have twelve players.

Re: Twelve by High Magic - New Mosehansen Game - GAME FULL
 

I am now in as Marignon.

Victory Conditions, btw, are 8 capitals of 12 wins the game. Should run a little longer than Sweetback did. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

Re: Twelve by High Magic - New Mosehansen Game - GAME FULL
 

I'll play C'Tis if nobody objects.

Re: Twelve by High Magic - New Mosehansen Game - GAME FULL
 

I call Ermor.

Heh. Mmm, I'll give Pythium a try.

Re: Twelve by High Magic - New Mosehansen Game - GAME FULL
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Cool. It'll be good to have you around. Hopefully we'll get more of a chance to RP than our two unfortunate empires did in TentoTango. It was a shame to see your Jade Emperor go quiet so early into the game.

Re: Twelve by High Magic - New Mosehansen Game - GAME FULL
 

Machaka's now claimed by my friend Julie who doesn't frequent these forums. She'll upload her Pretender in a sec.

Re: Twelve by High Magic - New Mosehansen Game - GAME FULL
 

I guess I will play Jot since someone wants Ctis.

Re: Twelve by High Magic - New Mosehansen Game - GAME FULL
 

I'd appreciate it if the players of Man, Ulm, and anyone else who joins without RSVPing first would post here and let us know after the fact. I'd like to be able to roll-call, particularly if someone goes AWOL.

Re: Twelve by High Magic - New Mosehansen Game - GAME FULL
 

I'm Abysya

Re: Twelve by High Magic - New Mosehansen Game - GAME FULL
 

hmm, I guess pythium

also, the mosehansen page says magic 55 does it not?

Re: Twelve by High Magic - New Mosehansen Game - GAME FULL
 

ahh, caine already called pythium. I'll try vanheim out, then.

Re: Twelve by High Magic - New Mosehansen Game - GAME FULL
 

archaeolept, now you are shown as playing both Pythium and Vanheim.

Re: Twelve by High Magic - New Mosehansen Game - GAME FULL
 

yes, because I see no way to change the name on mosehansen.

I went there first, took pythium, then checked the thread, but caine had already called it.

Anyways, I'd rather try out a new nation.

oh, caine and I have been in communication, so there's no confusion.

Re: Twelve by High Magic - New Mosehansen Game - GAME FULL
 

I want to play too. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif I will take T'ien Chi. A Pretender will be sent shortly.

Re: Twelve by High Magic - New Mosehansen Game - GAME FULL
 

My girlfriend Leigh has decided to join us for her first MP game. She'll be Pangaea.

Be nice.

Re: Twelve by High Magic - New Mosehansen Game - GAME FULL
 

Well, assuming Vynd and Graeme upload their pretenders, that makes 12. Game is now closed. No new applicants please.

We'll start as soon as we get all 12 people uploaded!

Re: Twelve by High Magic - New Mosehansen Game - GAME FULL
 

I've just uploaded. It's getting late over here, though, so I doubt you'll be seeing any turns from me until tomorrow morning. What kind of timeframe are we shooting for with the turns, anyway?

Re: Twelve by High Magic - New Mosehansen Game - GAME FULL
 

I'd upload my pretender, but I have no way of determing what port the server is on as I can't log into the web page.

Re: Twelve by High Magic - New Mosehansen Game - GAME FULL
 

https://www.mosehansen.dk/cgi-bin/do..._by_High_Magic

the port is 2216

it doesn't show a c'tis as being taken yet

Re: Twelve by High Magic - New Mosehansen Game - GAME FULL
 

Game on! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Twelve by High Magic - New Mosehansen Game - GAME FULL
 

as requested i'll let ya know that i'm playing man.

sorry that you wanted to RSVP it but you should put that in your description. I just log in to mosehansen, see an open game and jump on it.

Re: Twelve by High Magic - New Mosehansen Game - GAME FULL
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">No sweat. I figured the "see thread" would cover it, but I'll stick RSVP in there next time. Thanks for dropping the line.

Re: Twelve by High Magic - New Mosehansen Game - GAME FULL
 

Sorry but I seemed to have mistyped my password. I always use the same password and I have tried about 50 different Versions and nothing works.

Don't know what you want to do.

Re: Twelve by High Magic - New Mosehansen Game - GAME FULL
 

Well, we're still in Turn 1, so I'll stop the game and ask Ebsen to restart it. Overwrite your Pretender and we'll get moving again.

Re: Twelve by High Magic - New Mosehansen Game - GAME FULL
 

ok

Re: Twelve by High Magic - New Mosehansen Game - GAME FULL
 

hmm. could you let us all know? I forgot to set a password myself, and so would like to re-upload

thnx

edit: oh, I guess this means we have to all restart?

that's fine. I'd rather delay a day and have a group of hopefully committed players anyways.

Re: Twelve by High Magic - New Mosehansen Game - GAME FULL
 

Meh. Maybe we can get a bigger map, too. Starting within flight range of somebody else's capitol is unpleasant.

Re: Twelve by High Magic - New Mosehansen Game - GAME FULL
 

well, you could easily solve that problem yourself by not taking another Vampire Queen

Re: Twelve by High Magic - New Mosehansen Game - GAME FULL
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Yeh - one "benefit" of the capitols being VPs is being able to tell where all the capitols are. Which makes it way too easy for "rushers" to attempt to stomp their neighbors - don't even need to scout.

Also makes it easy to see that you're kinda screwed, with 2 capitols only 3 provinces away (ie, 2 inbetween - flight distance) and another 1 only 4. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

That's something I'd love to see addressed in a patch - capitols should be invisible VPs and not have the big bullseye on the map for everyone to see.

Re: Twelve by High Magic - New Mosehansen Game - GAME FULL
 

doesn't the mose server have an option for total vps, but not capitol?

ie vp sites sprinkled around the map.

I'd prefer that, definitely. then the map size would be about right.

Re: Twelve by High Magic - New Mosehansen Game - GAME FULL
 

I'm fine with whatever other folks would like regarding the VP set up.

Re: Twelve by High Magic - New Mosehansen Game - GAME FULL
 

Any idea when this game might get restarted?

Re: Twelve by High Magic - New Mosehansen Game - GAME FULL
 

Not for a while unfortunately. It appears the Mosehansen server is at capacity currently.

Bad luck, no diggity.

Re: Twelve by High Magic - New Mosehansen Game - GAME FULL
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Sigh. Can you - not you personally, but rather the person starting the game - set the master password on mosehansen? Rather than stopping the game when some idiot drops out and has a password on his pretender, just AI them.

Otherwise, the games stopping, not restarting, some restarting 4 days later when people have given up on it, gets too frustrating.

I love what he's done for "us" the Dom2 community, I appreciate it a lot, but....

When's Shrapnel going to host a server like mosehansen for Dom2? Not like it'd take more than a $200 box for like, 30 games.
