Info about the game:
All settings are default EXCEPT....

graphs are off (I prefer no graphs. It makes it more difficult to determine your enemies' strength... scouting and accurate intelligence is much more important).
Renaming is allowed.
There will be a master password, in case I need to remove someone from the game (i've had too many problems to do without this).

I am not going with the accelerated start that GameExtremist suggested because, although early turns are slow, I feel they are very important to play. Your early expansion and development will translate into advantages later, so its good to learn how to take those early turns.

Im very happy to see alot of newer players joining the game... one of the things I like about hosting is that I can help new players to experience MP without too much pressure from playing against uber-veterans.

The map will be large (probably about 225 provinces, 15 per player, perhaps a bit larger), with a good amount of water provs (all 3 aquatics are in this game) as well as a good amount of mountainous barriers. This will likely be a long game... so I hope everyone can stay committed.

As I mentioned, Sheap's rules of diplomacy are in effect. I think the most important thing to remember is that we are playing a game... diplomacy is an important part of this game, and deception can be an important tool in diplomacy. So, scheming in-character is fine... however, don't use the mechanisms of the game to be a dick, by which I mean never do something like agreeing to a trade of gems for an item, and then not trading the item after you receive the gems. Thats a problem. On the other hand, breaking treaties is a-ok as long as you're willing to face the consequences in-game. But DON'T bring your gripes into the real world... i.e. don't insult a player because they've done something you don't like in the game. It's petty and detracts from the fun of the game.

Good luck to everyone!

Re: New PBEM EA game for newish, serious players
 

I wouldn't mind playing since I'm already out of one MP game I had going. What era will this be? And what in the name of all that is holy is Sheap's rules of diplomacy?

Digress February 28th, 2007 12:07 AM

Re: New PBEM EA game for newish, serious players
 
Hi - I would be happy to play this one, if you will have me. I fear I am going to be eliminated from a game or two in short order (hopefully having learned a lesson or two along the way) and will be suffering from withdrawal symptoms.

Hi,

I would love to play. This will be my first MP game, and, like Digress will probably get eliminated quick. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif But, want to start learning MP. If you have room, would love to be in. Thanks...

Hello, I would like to play this game - if you take the never-played-a-MP-game noobs (who are willing to give their best and play regularly) http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

I played SP for a short while and like the game very much. I do have experience with strategic games and understand strategic concepts well, just need time to learn the finesse of this particular game.

Also, can you please post link to the thread or whatever explains the "Sheap's rules of diplomacy" ... I searched the forums myself with no luck ....

Thanks, and have a nice game either way

I'd like to play. It will be my first multiplayer game, so clear instructions as to what is expected of me would be helpful.

Re: New PBEM EA game for newish, serious players
 
I'm a newish player - and as you know am good with getting my turns in from the other PBEM you are hosting. (endoftime)

One suggestion though take it or leave it -

I'm playing in an accelerated startup game over here - http://www.shrapnelcommunity.com/thr...o=&fpart=1

And so far (turn 19ish) its been a very exciting and fast game, basically you start with a bunch (10?) of sages to do the research and each player has an even distribution of starting provinces (althoughs there are still indy provinces aplenty).

Its up to you and the other players though, being first time mp for some guys vanilla might be the way to go : )

Thanks for the Sheaps link Perrigrine and glad you enjoy my RP's. I most likely will write up a little something since I've just been eliminated from my first MP and still have a bit of that writing bug in me.

Re: New PBEM EA game for newish, serious players
 
Peregrine, thanks for the link, I read the rules and I agree with them all the way. I especially like how they ecourage role playing of your leader when engaging diplomacy, I think that helps you enjoy the game a lot because it creates a clear distinction between one game and the next one, and segregates all games you are playing from your real life also ...

cheers

Small intro for Kailasa...
 
It's not every day that one is visited by a god.

Certainly not every day said god tells you that you are going to be the mortal channel of his/her heavenly powers.

Unless of course you live in Evershy, in which case it happens more frequently than most worlds, with Ascension Wars and what have you. And it's about to happen once more. To Babadar.

See, Babadar is a monkey. Well, more like a gorilla. But not really. He's gorilla-ish. In fact, he could almost pass for human, if humans were a hulking mass of dark, course fur with long arms. Babadar lives in the forest, along with the rest of his monkey-kinda brethren, below Mount Kailasa. For centuries his people have lived in harmony with the Yavanas, the people of the mountain. Together, they have created a small haven ,safe from the outside world, where Bandar and Yavana live an idyllic and simple life. In fact, Babadar had just finished carrying stacks of bronze for the Yavanas smiths for the day before resting under a tree on one of the mountains many gentle slopes. He meant only to rest a little, but the afternoon sun and the gentle breeze soon made him drowsy and he napped.

And he dreamed.

Being a simple Bandar (as most were, the wisest among them - usually white furred Atavi - acting as spiritual guides) Babadar didn't fully understand everything in his dream. In it, Mount Kailasa was lifted up, as if by a great hand, and stretched so wide it covered the sky. And when it was set back down, it covered the whole earth. There were other sights as well, races of creatures he had never seen before and large, Titanic sized entities who all looked angry. Before he could see much else that might upset him, he was awakened by a soft and kind voice.

"Babadar."

He stretched and yawned widely, blinking the sleep from his intelligent eyes. What he saw stopped his breath.

A tall woman, similar to a Yavana female but taller still, stood before him. Her pale face was framed by long black hair and she looked at him with eyes as dark as obsidian. He saw no malice in her gaze, only a profound and probing interest in him. And a deep sadness. He thought she was beautiful and instantly loved her. Not as a young male Bandar may love a young female Bandar, but as someone he knew he could look to for guidance and reassurance. He would gladly lay down his own life for her, he knew. Had he known the word, he would have called her an angel.

"You can call me Jasmine," she said, as if reading his thoughts. He started to speak but his words seemed stuck in his throat. She smiled wanly. His heart ached at her sorrow.

"I know who you are Babadar, do not trouble yourself with speech. Listen now." He nodded his understanding and this time her smile had more warmth in it.

"I knew you would be perfect. I chose you Babadar, because I need your help." She held forth her arms and he noticed for the first time the cruel, midnight colored shackles around her pale, slender wrists. The manacles marred and burnt her where they lay against her skin. Babadar choked back a sympathetic cry of pain.

"Do not worry my harbinger. I have been imprisoned many millennia but these bonds grow weak. There is a shifting in the Void, I can feel it. My commission to you is simple, Babadar. All I ask is that you prepare the way for me when I return. There are some, even among your own people, who will resist. But you must be strong for me. Can you do this?"

Babadar nodded eagerly. Yes, yes! anything for her.

"Good." Her voice almost purred and it made Babadar's heart flutter. "I knew you would not disappoint. Now. Wake up, Babadar."

With a quick gasp, Babadar shot upright from the tree trunk. He glanced about madly but could see no sign of the woman that he knew was just before him. He might have decided then and there that it never happened were it not for the bundle lying heavily beside him. He cautiously unwrapped it, revealing a burnished bronze cuirass, and gleaming bronze sword and a bronze cap with an etched river flowing from the top of its crest. And the fact that all of this fit him as if it had been tailor made for him alone was all the convincing he needed to know it was not simply a dream. He turned toward Bandar with a new found purpose.

He would not disappoint his mistress.

Very nice. Keep it up...

smu666ler March 2nd, 2007 12:38 AM

Re: Small intro for Kailasa...
 
Hey that's a nice opening story http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif I'm thinking of writing my own since I'm so inspired by all the Japanese folklore and mythology articles at Wiki which I searched for a good pretender god name.

I have a question anyway ... The victory conditions? I learned from one AAR I read that it is important to tell at the beginning of the game weather an alliance can win a game or does it have to be a showdown between allies once there is no one left. Also how much ppl max can be in an alliance? Stuff like that ...

BandarLover March 2nd, 2007 12:45 AM

Re: Small intro for Kailasa...
 

Please do smu666ler. I also enjoy reading peoples write ups as well as doing them myself.

Can't help ya on victory conditions though.

johnarryn March 2nd, 2007 08:52 AM

Victory Conditions
 
I don't see any need for hard and fast conditions. If you're satisfied with an alliance win, so be it. If you want all the glory for yourself, that's cool too...
Of course, allies can always fight it out with each other after they are victorious...

Re: Origins
 
And here we go! Turn 1 sent.

Hopefully this game will go a bit better than my other (and 1st) MP game. In that one, I managed to turn a position of relative power into a position of "Oh crap, I think I'm knee deep in monkey poo" through pure mismanagement. Then again, I may have been knee deep in monkey poo to start with and not even realized it. I blame my prophet who, apparently, was too busy dallying with the camp followers to march into war like I told him to.

Bandarlover, nothing personal, but I really hope you are far away from me. I've had my fill of monkeys for a little while.http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/smirk.gif

Intro for R\'lyeh
 
"Boss, we're not supposed to be here", Yad ventures again for the seventeenth time since entering the Forbidden Gorge several hours ago.

"Shut up Yad", Gulaturru the Twenty Sixth Prince of R'lyeh (Hundredth and Fifty Eighth according to popular royal kitchen gossip) responds.

"I mean, it's called the Forbidden Gorge for a reason. They could have called it the Barren Gorge, or the Stinky Gorge, or even the Gorge Where Traitors To the King Flees Never To Be Seen Again And Where The Royal Kingdom Constabulary Refuses To Pursue Prefering The One Year Latrine Duty Punishment Instead..."

"Shut up Yad", Gulaturru the Twenty Sixth Prince of R'lyeh replies by reflex, as he negotiates a group of largish slabs of fossilized coral rock.

"..."

Surprised at his servant's sudden obedience, Gulaturru the Twenty Sixth Prince of R'lyeh (and don't you forget it) looks up to see Yad staring ahead with his mouth open and shaking all over.

Turning to the object of Yad's fear, Gulaturru the Twenty Sixth Prince of R'lyeh beheld a smallish stone bridge traversing a smallish ravine (it was barely a crack) in the seabed. On both sides of the bridge, sickly green ooze floated straight up, carried along by unseen currents. On the bridge itself squats an unimpressive looking sea brocolli. In fact the only thing unusual about it was that it was colored pink. A light girlish pastel pink for it's stumpy trunk and a glaring fuscia pink for its stubby top appendages.

Irritated, Gulaturru the Twenty Sixth Prince of R'lyeh gives his servant an angry cuff to back of the head and heads towards the bridge and the pink brocolli blocking the way.

"Boss, we have to go, please please please lets go, somethings not right please please please we have to go now now now", Yad yammers in an epileptic fit of terror.

Making a mental note to feed his latest servant to his prize winning golden stripped kraken once they got back to the palace, Gulaturru the Twenty Sixth Prince of R'lyeh unhooks his ax as he steps onto the bridge preparing to clear the pink brocolli.

"no no no no noooooo!", Yad screams as he half scrambles half swam back the way they came from.

"Wretched thrall, I'm going to flay you alive before I feed you to Goldie", Gulaturru the Twenty Sixth Prince of R'lyeh mutters as he took his first swing at the pink brocolli.

Somehow his blow went wide and hits his right toe instead, hacking away a fair bit of it.

"OW! OW!! OW!!! OW!!!! @#$%@! MOTHER SPAWING TOAD @#$ SHAMBLER SLIME SLURPER @#$%!@@#$%&^&&*@," came a string of invectives that would shock any member of the Royal Court.

The pink brocolli sat there and waved its stumpy appendages condescendingly.

Furious, Gulaturru the Twenty Sixth Prince of R'lyeh hops back and takes a second swing at the pink brocolli, and a third, and a fourth with the only apparent effect of sending a shiver through the stumpy trunk of the pink fungus. And it wasn't quite a shiver of fear, or of alarm. In fact, it seemed suspiciously more like a giggle.

Enraged, Gulaturru the Twenty Sixth Prince of R'lyeh drops his ax and charges in, intending to pull and tear apart the waving, shivering, giggling, fuscia appendages with his bare hands.

"I'M THE TWENTY SIXTH PRINCE OF R'LYEH AND NO PINK BROCOLLI WILL DEFY ME!"

Grabbing a handful of the rubbery fuscia appendages in each hand, Gulaturru the Twenty Sixth Prince of R'lyeh tore left and right, foaming at the mouth with rage.

"I'M THE TWENTY SIXTH PRINCE OF R'LYEH AND YOU WILL OBEY ME!"

But the more Gulaturru the Twenty Sixth Prince of R'lyeh laid into the pink brocolli, the more numerous the appendages seemed to become. In fact it seems that a forest of pink appendages now surrounds the hapless Twenty Sixth Prince of R'lyeh. Manic and on the edge of insanity, Gulaturru the Twenty Sixth Prince of R'lyeh screams one last time.

"I'M GULATURRU THE FIRST PROPHET OF LOMO AND I WILL NOT DEFY YOU!"

A part of Gulaturru the Twenty Sixth Prince of R'lyeh realizes with horror what the rest of his mind has uttered, but that part was even then dimming and it wasn't long before it was as if it never existed.

"I'm Gulaturru the First Prophet of LoMo, and I will obey you!", Gulaturru the First Prophet of LoMo swears as his eyes shine with fanatical fervor.

----

Meanwhile, Yad, the last thrall of Gulaturru the Twenty Sixth Prince of R'lyeh continues half scrambling, half swimming away from the gargantuan shadow pressing upon his mind.

BandarLover March 3rd, 2007 04:38 AM

Kailasa continued
 
The moments following Babadar's encounter with Jasmine and the build up to his meeting with Bandar's Council Elders went by in a blur. He distinctly remembered being met on the road by several Yavana. All of them seemed to know what had transpired even though Babadar had not yet told anyone about his experience. He heard their adulation in his mind despite the fact that they never moved their lips when they spoke to him (Another interesting fact about Yavanas - even though Babadar was too simple of a creature to notice - was that despite the fact that they appeared in both male and female forms, they were completely devoid of any gender specific reproductive genitalia). It was strange, Babadar had always figured they couldn't speak and was just now beginning to appreciate the gifts that come from being Chosen. His small entourage followed him as far as the valley that led to the great tree city of Bandar, before they slipped away unseen. It was a bit unnerving to Babadar; one moment they were there, the next he was alone before the great Outer Wall.

Bandar was laid out in a roughly circular shape around a sweeping crop of trees that were taller than any others on the slopes of Mount Kailasa. The simple, inter-connected huts of the Atavi were built within the tree branches themselves. The larger Bandar apes preferred living in huts on the forest floor. The smaller Markata monkeys lived wherever they could, some even building small lean-tos against other dwellings. They were everywhere, even now as evening began to set and the rest of the Bandar residents were settling down. Babadar was met by a small retinue of Bandar warriors. He recognized their larger, scarred leader as Grafe-Ro, which literally meant Scarred One. He appraised Babadar with his one good eye for a few brief moments. Babadar, as usual, found it difficult not to stare at the three whitish scars that ran down the left side of Grafe-Ro's face from forehead to jaw line. Grafe was a commander of the Outriders, an elite force of warriors that patrolled Bandar's borders and kept it safe from predators. Grafe earned his namesake by single handedly killing the largest tiger ever reported within Kailasa's forests. And while he may have lost an eye, along with several other patches of fur on his body, he had gained the most famous trophy in Bandar. The Elders claimed it was the Father of Tigers that he had slain and rewarded Grafe with a higher place in the Bandar Caste. He was one of the few allowed to carry a sword wherever he went.

"The Elders wish to see you," he finally said in his low, gravelly voice. He turned abruptly on his heels and lead the way to the Common House.

Any other time this would have made Babadar very nervous, but instead he felt a soothing wave of calm coursing through his body. He had intended an audience with the Elders sooner or later.

At the doors, Grafe halted and motioned for Babadar's sword. No weapons were allowed inside and Babadar readily complied. Inside, all of the elder gurus were present, as were the younger yogis. All eyes centered on Babadar as he entered the chamber. He muttered a quick prayer to Jasmine.

"We expect an explanation for your actions Babadar."

It was Sharlynn, the oldest of the guru who spoke. Babadar had by now figured out that the yavanas must have communed with the elders earlier. It was no matter, he had thought long and hard about what he would say to get the elders backing for his plans.

"Brother Sharlynn-" He began before being interuppted.

"Who are you to speak to an elder so, as if we were equals?" The old white- furred guru rose unsteadily, pointing an accusing finger in Babadar's direction. "You have no rights here and you will know your place!"

Whatever Babadar was going to say had left him as he stood shocked and terrified. He had thought the elders, if they indeed knew what had occurred to him, would have been happy to know that Jasmine's return as near. Sharlynn, laughed contemptuously, and Babadar knew his thoughts had been heard.

"You are no prophet, Babadar. No goddess would chose such a poorly crafted vessel as you for such a sacred duty. Only the Elders can make that decision, you know this from our own teachings. What answer do you have for this HERESY!"

Babadar was all too aware of every gaze that was turned upon him. He felt parched, his tongue suddenly swollen in his mouth. And his head swam before him. He was dangerously close to panic and can be forgiven for not remembering what happened next.

"FOOL!" Babadar boomed in a voice not entirely his own. His countenance seemed to grow, while the elders all recoiled at his sudden outburst. His eyes glowed a fierce white light and they stared directly at Sharlynn. "HOW DARE YOU QUESTION MY CHOICES! YOUR PURPOSE IS TO DO MY BIDDING!"

Sharlynn fell bodily to the floor, struggling to raise himself up but it was as if an unseen force held him firmly in place.

"M-m-mistress-" He started.

Babadar's eyes flashed, and he thrust his fist into the air. A blinding light flashed forth, causing all present to shriek in pain. When they finally gathered their senses, Sharlynn's smoldering body still lay on the dirt floor and Babadar was supporting himself against one of the far walls.

"What...what happened?" He asked, genuinely perplexed. He blinked madly; his eyes felt hot in their own sockets and his body felt stretched and sore. When his eyesight returned, he noticed the entire assembly of gurus and yogis had dropped in obeisance to him, heads bowed and arms outstretched with palms raised to the sky. The last thing Babadar thought before he passed out was that somehow, Bandar would be united with the Yavanas in their assigned task of preparing the world for the return of Jasmine.

It always happens. He doesnt really have 5 guys in the hall of fame, its just that no one else has earned a spot, so the game by default says there are a bunch of Arco guys there... its a common bug.

Digress March 3rd, 2007 08:57 PM

Re: Kailasa continued
 
All true Arcoscephalians are heroes. Heroes in thought and deed (at present it has to be said it has been mainly thought). We continue to heroically examine our navel fluff and consider important things such as "how did it get there ?" "why is it a different colour from our toga ?" "are there immutable, universal laws that control its deposition ?" "can we construct a aesthetic that would allow us to compare the intrinsic beauty of one navel's fluff to anothers ?"

We will continue to cogitate on these matters ....

Yad Taddag\'s Gems and Sundry Ltd. Pt. Co. Inc.
 
Yad Taddag, the Last Thrall of Gulaturru the Twenty Sixth Prince of R'lyeh collapses into a ditch from sheer exhaustion. He had been fleeing non-stop for more than a month now, barely eating or sleeping, and always the gargantuan pink shadow pressing in upon his mind.

"No more, please, no more..." he whimpers, and he thrashes unconciously in the mud. It took a long time, but eventually he stills and slumbered. When next he woke, gone was the fear that had marred his fishy visage. In its place now shines a clarity of purpose previously absent in his long life of servitude. Immediately he sets upon making a wooden sign using pieces of driftwood and a chipped coral knife. Using pieces of rope, he ties the sign to his back.

"Yad Taddag's Gems and Sundry Ltd. Pt. Co. Inc."
"Will trade my Fire and Earth Gems for your Water Gems"

further along in fine print, it says:

Delay
 
BandarLover is having connection problems. Im going to extend the deadline for 3 hours to 8 pm tonight (EST, GMT -5). At that point I will host. So, only a minor delay... im very committed to a turn a day, to keep things rolling.

I take it that otherwise the standard turn upload stays at somewhere 5pm EST (11pm for us at GMT +1) for next turn and the following ... ?

I hope he will have it sorted out on time, he really seems to be commited to the game, especially from his creative side =)
