Megagame - full again.
 

Xietor's colossal megagame, KingMaker, will be starting tomorrow, with spaces for 61 players. However, it is _possible_ that there may be one or two spaces left empty, on account of players forgetting to send pretenders in. If you'd like to jump in at the last minute to play in this very special game, please post here and also post a PM to Xietor to let him know. It would be great if we can have all 61 spots filled.

Edit: Changed title, as the game is now full.
Edit: Changed again, as someone has dropped out! See the last post.
Edit: Full again.

L,
I PM'ed X-man and told him I would take any last spot if available ( the "Middle Age - Paunch" Nation) http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

This sounds really interesting, and I was disappointed I missed a shot at that game.

I'll join the second chance lottery as well. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Actually Llamabeast, there is a list of alternates that I need to run through 1st, before opening up the game to everyone. And it does appear that we have enough alternates who signed up as alts on the game thread 2-3 weeks ago to fill in the ranks.

Of more of a concern for you Llamabeast, is the fact that 23 players have signed up to play EA races, and KingMaker_Early claims to have a max of 22 players. /cough. /cough.

Mer Dur.

May Hem.

Re: There _may_ be one or two megagame spaces left
 

Right! Turns out that having exhausted the existing alternates, there are TWO spots left. Two! Further, the game will be starting at midnight tonight UK time. That's 01:00 GMT. So if people can get a pretender in by then, you're in! (Xietor has had enough of trying to chase down pretenders, so I get the last-minute authority to find people to fill the last two spots.)

The remaining nations are:

EA Pangaea
EA Agartha
EA Marverni X Now taken
MA Pangaea
LA Pythium
LA Ulm

Ooh! Ooh! Excitement! Pick one!

If you decide you're going to send in a pretender for one of these nations, please both PM me and post here, so someone else doesn't pick the same nation.

Also, if you want to sieze a spot quickly, you could send in a placeholder pretender and MAKE SURE you send in a more polished design by 01:00 GMT to overwrite it.

Go go go!

Griefor has claimed Marverni! The speed! One left now.

I find it really stramge no one is interested in sacred hydras.

Re: There _may_ be one or two megagame spaces left
 

Oooops! Cockup! Due to a mathematical failure on my part, it turns out the game is full. Hope I have not got anyone's hopes up too much.

This should teach me not to post too much when getting overexcited.

"Oooops! Cockup!"

Hope that does not cause too much turmoil at work among the females Llama! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/redface.gif

Aren't you a physics PhD llamabeast? There can be no mathematical failures - it must have been a quantum shift in the fabric of reality.

pretender sent for EA Agartha

Xietor - http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

DonCorazon - yes. You're right, that's what it was. Or at least it certainly feels that way. I definitely wrote to Xietor earlier about how there were only 58 pretenders, but it turns out there are 60 with none recently received (well now there are 63 and I have to write some apologetic PMs!). Reality definitely shifted.

nozshand - thanks for your impressive speed, but regrettably we can't squeeze your Agartha pretender in after all, and he'll have to be culled. Many apologies.

Xietor again - do you know who's playing LA Pythium? I have a pretender which arrived in the small hours this morning, but don't know who it's from. Guess I'll e-mail him.

Re: There _may_ be one or two megagame spaces left
 

Ah, got it, LA Pythium is Lingchih.

Re: There _may_ be one or two megagame spaces left
 

That's right. Fear my Hydras.

Re: There _may_ be one or two megagame spaces left
 

Right, this is getting ridiculous! I am just home, I want to start the game in the next half hour, and someone has just dropped out. Any super-last-minute takers? If so, PM me immediately, since soon I will just have to give up and go to bed. But I would be really pleased to have the full 61 players.

Re: There _may_ be one or two megagame spaces left
 

hi llamabeast, this is response to your recent pm, i got a msg from xietor said im in because someone dropped out last minute so i think we are set?

Re: There _may_ be one or two megagame spaces left
 

Just sent you a PM nozshand.

Re: There _may_ be one or two megagame spaces left
 

Okay, we are sorted.
