MP Game - Pandemonium (noob/int game) - running
 

mosehansen.dk port 2291

Inland map, Indy 6, magic sites 50
renaming enabled, HOF 15
25 hour quickhost
10-14 players
no house rules

Victory conditions - standard or mutual consent

We're off with yet another newbie game! This time I thought I'd open it up wider to include intermediate players, and we're also looking for considerably larger number of players (hopefully 14).

Again, I don't really know how to define newbie/intermediate, but maybe something like the following will do:

<= 10 mp games
And never came in 1st or 2d in a mp game that included experienced players

Or if you don't qualify for the above, but feel you are not speeding through the Dom2 learning curve (perhaps because you've got a life? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif then use your own judgement and jump in).

This time around I'm going to be selfish and claim Abysia right out of the block. Also, there was a tentative claim on Caelum (I'll get that cleared up asap). Finally, anyone interested in Ryleh/Atlantis should know that there's only 5 water provinces on Inland, so taking one of these positions might be a bit dicey. Having both positions in the game is out of the question.



Cause this is newbie game, here are the startup instructions:

1) Post in this thread to reserve your position
2) Design your Pretender standalone
3) On the main/entry Dom2 menu, choose Network
4) Enter "mosehansen.dk" for server
5) Enter "2291" for port
6) Choose the nation for the Pretender which you have designed.
7) If you haven't already, register on mosehansen at: https://www.mosehansen.dk/cgi-bin/dom2.pl
8) Then go to: https://www.mosehansen.dk/cgi-bin/do...me=Pandemonium
If you've successfully uploaded your pretender, you'll see your nation listed as Anonymous, check the "That's me" box.

That's it - you're done! Once all players have done this, I'll start the game.


Edit- Added one step in startup instructions.

Pangaea - PrinzMegaherz

who is invited...?

Re: MP Game - Pandemonium (noob/int game) - open
 

every newbie or intermediate player reading this post http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: MP Game - Pandemonium (noob/int game) - open
 

Do I just submit my pretender or do I have to post my choice here first?

Anyway, I would like to claim Pangaea

Re: MP Game - Pandemonium (noob/int game) - open
 

Cool - Pangaea it is! (and yes, it's easier to start by posting here, then uploading).

Re: MP Game - Pandemonium (noob/int game) - open
 

I would like to take Man if it pleases you to permit me the honor.

Re: MP Game - Pandemonium (noob/int game) - open
 

Well, as I said, I wanna join the game!
I wanna claim R`lyeh, because they are a lot of fun, but that's probably a bad idea...
So I'll give you this list:
1. What's that Caelum claim? if its gone, I'd like to take it =P
2. Jotunheim, I think, but I really have little expirience with them...
3. R`lyeh =P

So meanwhile, its a claim on Jotunheim, but if someone really wants it (really really wants it) I can switch to R`lyeh.
And I'd like to know about that Caelum thingy, because I'd really like to play them if they open up (Im not good with them, but Ive had fun in SP)

Re: MP Game - Pandemonium (noob/int game) - open
 

What the hell, I'm in as Ulm. Never played it before. I might as well give the rest of you someone to beat up on. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif At least I don't need to download a new map to play this one.

Re: MP Game - Pandemonium (noob/int game) - open
 

I would like to join in with Marignon (never played them before). Is posting here enough to claim the nation, or is the claim only valid once a pretender has been uploaded? (I still have to figure out what pretender I will use for Marignon)

Re: MP Game - Pandemonium (noob/int game) - open
 

Claiming here reserves the spot, upload when you can. It would be nice if we could all get uploaded by tomorrow, but since we're looking for 14 players it may take us longer to fill up. So far, here's what we've got:

Alneyan - Marignon
Deccan - Ulm
Agrajag - Jotunheim (possibly Caelum)
Jarenko - Man
Prince Megaherz - Pangaea
Thufir - Abysia

Re: MP Game - Pandemonium (noob/int game) - open
 

I would like to play Jotunheim - In all my excitment on trying a MP game, I uploaded to the server already without posting here... Sorry... Please let me know if I have this spot in your game

Re: MP Game - Pandemonium (noob/int game) - open
 

Sorry, this thread takes precedence over uploading (I guess I should've made that clearer in my initial post). Right now Agrajag is on Jotunheim, but he's also top of the waitlist for Caelum. So, we can move you top of the waitlist for Jotunheim, but it'd be good if you could pick something else, in case Jotunheim doesn't clear up. This bit of complication regarding Caelum should clear up tonight.

Re: MP Game - Pandemonium (noob/int game) - open
 

Could you put me on a waiting list for Pan if Megahertz happens to change his mind and not want to play Pangaea?

I really only have time for one more mp game and want to do it with Pan, if the slot doesnt open its no big deal. New games start all the time.

Good luck.

Re: MP Game - Pandemonium (noob/int game) - open
 

Sure thing!

Re: MP Game - Pandemonium (noob/int game) - open
 

Sorry, I already uploaded my pretender

Re: MP Game - Pandemonium (noob/int game) - open
 

np, ill just catch the next new game

good luck to you guys

Re: MP Game - Pandemonium (noob/int game) - open
 

Right - no problem, you're all set. I think that Aku is just saying that in the event you should be suddenly overwhelmed with the need to play T'ien Chi Barbarian Kings, or your employer in RL suddenly overwhelms you with crucial work that only you can do - he's ready to step in. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: MP Game - Pandemonium (noob/int game) - open
 

exactly, good wording thufir

Re: MP Game - Pandemonium (noob/int game) - open
 

if mictlan is still free i would like to play them http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: MP Game - Pandemonium (noob/int game) - open
 

uploaded my pretender http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: MP Game - Pandemonium (noob/int game) - open
 

I'll take vanheim, what do I have to have my pretended uploaded by?

odd_enuf

Re: MP Game - Pandemonium (noob/int game) - open
 

Excellent!

Re: MP Game - Pandemonium (noob/int game) - open
 

You're in!

No deadline set yet, we're looking for 14 players, right now we've got around 10. If we get the other 4 tonight, it'd be great to get everyone uploaded tomorrow.

Re: MP Game - Pandemonium (noob/int game) - open
 

Spring....and Autumn!

Re: MP Game - Pandemonium (noob/int game) - open
 

That's my favorite theme - awesome choice!

Re: MP Game - Pandemonium (noob/int game) - open
 

I'd upload my pretender, but Im still waiting to see about Caelum =P
Maybe I should just take Jotunheim :\
Let me know when you clear out the Caelum buisness...

Re: MP Game - Pandemonium (noob/int game) - open
 

what about caelum ?
why don't you just upload your caelum pretender ?
or did somebody else claim them too ?

Re: MP Game - Pandemonium (noob/int game) - open
 

Nope, but as the thread starter (Thufir, right?) said, there is some mistery to be cleared as to some sort of old claim on Caelum, Im not really sure so I'm waiting for an official response.
Good night.

Re: MP Game - Pandemonium (noob/int game) - open
 

Quibble: "mosehansen.dk" did not work for me. "www.mosehansen.dk" worked.

Re: MP Game - Pandemonium (noob/int game) - open
 

Curious - the mosehansen.dk works for me.

Anyhow, we're at 10 players now, still looking for 4 more.
Agrajag, you're in as Caelum, and Anatoli, if you're still interested in Jotunheim, you've got it.

Here's the latest player list:

Alneyan - Marignon
Deccan - Ulm
Agrajag - Caelum
Jarenko - Man
Prince Megaherz - Pangaea
Thufir - Abysia
anatoli11 - Jotunheim?
Boron - Mictlan
odd_enuf - Vanheim
YellowCactus - TienChi

Re: MP Game - Pandemonium (noob/int game) - open
 

I thought of another nation I want to try in mp...can I play Ermor?

Re: MP Game - Pandemonium (noob/int game) - open
 

Great!
I got Caelum.
Now I can avoid playing the same race in two different MP games =P
I already formulated some plans for Caelum, so I'll probably upload by the end of the day.

Re: MP Game - Pandemonium (noob/int game) - open
 

Absolutely - that was one nation I was particularly hoping to include in the mix.

Re: MP Game - Pandemonium (noob/int game) - open
 

I went anonymous on the server in order to change pretenders. Sorry for the inconvenience. I'll re-upload as soon as I'm kicked.

Re: MP Game - Pandemonium (noob/int game) - open
 

no problem - you're bounced.

Re: MP Game - Pandemonium (noob/int game) - open
 

Thanks. Re-uploaded. I decided to play Ulm more conventionally instead of trying something crazy before I had actually played Ulm even in SP. Any idea of a starting time?

Re: MP Game - Pandemonium (noob/int game) - open
 

Thanks for the opportunity - I have re-uploaded my pretender to the server. I am really looking forward to trying MP - Good luck to all!!

Re: MP Game - Pandemonium (noob/int game) - open
 

Are you sure you have actually changed pretenders? I don't remember you ever being anonymous (or were you, and I bounced you when I bounced deccan?). If you do want to make sure you've made a change, change you're setting to anonymous on mosehansen, let me know, then I'll be happy to bounce again, so you can be sure you're changing pretenders.

Re: MP Game - Pandemonium (noob/int game) - open
 

ok cool, give me a few hours to think of what pretender i should make, we are still waiting for more people to join anyway

Re: MP Game - Pandemonium (noob/int game) - open
 

Sure thing - here's our current player list:

Alneyan - Marignon
Deccan - Ulm
Agrajag - Caelum
Jarenko - Man
Prince Megaherz - Pangaea
Thufir - Abysia
anatoli11 - Jotunheim
Boron - Mictlan
odd_enuf - Vanheim
YellowCactus - TienChi
Aku - Ermor


I had been shooting for 14 - what do people think about starting with 11? On Inland 14 makes for a crowded game, which was part of the objective with this setup. OTOH, at 11, we still have a goodly number to run with...

Re: MP Game - Pandemonium (noob/int game) - open
 

either choice is fine

if you want 14, im sure you will get that by the end of the day

one option is for us to play with whoever signs up by the end of the day and leave it at that

Re: MP Game - Pandemonium (noob/int game) - open
 

I've never attemped a MP game before - when I log into mosehansen I am listed as playing Jotunheim in the Pandemonium game - is this correct?

Re: MP Game - Pandemonium (noob/int game) - open
 

Yes, this is correct. As things stand we can start the game.

However, based on your post where you mentioned that you had re-uploaded your pretender, I thought that you wanted to change your pretender from the initial upload that you did yesterday. I'm not exactly sure how this part works, but I believe it's necessary for me to kick you off the game before you can re-upload successfully. Since I never did this, I suspect that your original pretender is still the one in place.

If your satisfied with that - then we're good to go, and we can start the game on this basis. If you want to be sure that your pretender has been re-uploaded, you should go to mosehansen again, click on the box that says "That's not me!" (which changes your position to anonymous), then I will be able to kick you off the game, thus allowing you to safely re-upload.

Re: MP Game - Pandemonium (noob/int game) - open
 

No - I'm good to go - I just uploaded the same pretender... Thanks!!

Re: MP Game - Pandemonium (noob/int game) - open
 

That sounds good to me - unless anyone objects, I'll be starting sometime tonight.

Re: MP Game - Pandemonium (noob/int game) - open
 

Just posting for the "I agree".

Re: MP Game - Pandemonium (noob/int game) - open
 

anyone know if the chill effect on a ghost king and the breath of winter spell if they stack?

Re: MP Game - Pandemonium (noob/int game) - open
 

I'd guess not. Someone just asked a similar question:

http://forum.shrapnegames.com/showth...o=&fpart=1

Re: MP Game - Pandemonium (noob/int game) - open
 

I think I made a pretender I like. I am just going to test him out real fast in sp.

Re: MP Game - Pandemonium (noob/int game) - open
 

Exactly what I'm doing at this very moment http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

I don't see this game starting before 7pm PDT (at the earliest), so you've got a few hours.
