Heya everyone! Pleased to meet you all. This will be my first RAND game. Fight! Fight! Fight!

Yes, it is the most beautiful of all the Dom 3 maps. Very easy on the eyes.

Damn! I really wanted into this but it looks full already!

Same here - the first time I see the thread, the games already full. :(

Re: RAND-DOM DAWN (RDD) - PBEM Game
 
The game was invite only, to previous RAND game players. Don't worry though, spots will open up for replacements.

Calahan May 12th, 2009 03:14 AM

Re: RAND-DOM DAWN (RDD) - PBEM Game
 
Thanks for having me everyone, and an extra thanks to Pasha for doing the third-party admin work.

Looking forward to some good times ahead :-)

Let the fun begin :D

Good hunting guys.

Welcome back Jurri - glad to see you in the roster.

I would like to register interest for being in the next RAND game, if there is space (by that time I will hopefully have finished my thesis and be a real person again!).

I had no idea you were a real person llama. I have always envisaged the llamaserver as a kind of 'Number 5' robot from the Short Circuit films, and llamabeast was just the robots identity on these forums.

Guess you fooled me good and proper with your omnipresent nature and selfless devotion to the Dominions community :)

If you are real a person, then I guess many beverages of thanks are in order if you ever find yourself travelling the correct way across the Severn Bridge :D

Not strictly true. Not everyone is a previous RAND player, some of us are just cool like that.

Hi all,

thanks for hosting another RAND pasha!

I've a lot of vacations next time (parental leave :) ) but 2 of them are important because i probalby have no internet:

18th-24th may - there is a ~80% chance that internet access works there. But still a small chance that the wireless lan is not working anymore...

20th-28th june - i definitly don't have access to internet, so i can do a turn before starting this and another one at the end.

i wanna take part ! i should get my new comp tomorrow

calmon May 12th, 2009 09:03 AM

Re: RAND-DOM DAWN (RDD) - PBEM Game
 
BTW i vote for 7 out of 12 VPs needed.

Shuma May 12th, 2009 10:50 AM

Re: RAND-DOM DAWN (RDD) - PBEM Game
 
Is this game open to semi-newbs? I am just about knocked out of my other game and a random nation game sounds fun. What do you mean by no diplomacy? No PMs through the board and in-game messages?

WraithLord May 12th, 2009 11:22 AM

Re: RAND-DOM DAWN (RDD) - PBEM Game
 
I 2nd Calmon.

I'm in.

Zeldor May 12th, 2009 12:20 PM

Re: RAND-DOM DAWN (RDD) - PBEM Game
 
I don't think it should be higher than 5-6 caps to win. We don't want the game to get to nowhere, like for example Artifacts.

DonCorazon May 12th, 2009 12:42 PM

Re: RAND-DOM DAWN (RDD) - PBEM Game
 
I vote for 5 VPs.

Micah May 12th, 2009 01:02 PM

Re: RAND-DOM DAWN (RDD) - PBEM Game
 
Artifacts' quagmire doesn't have much to do with the VP threshold, it would still be going even if it was at 7 or 8 instead of 10.

quantum_mechani May 12th, 2009 02:02 PM

Re: RAND-DOM DAWN (RDD) - PBEM Game
 
I vote 5 vp to win.

okiN May 12th, 2009 02:32 PM

Re: RAND-DOM DAWN (RDD) - PBEM Game
 
Sounds fine to me, though I wouldn't particularly mind six. Five might happen surprisingly quickly.

Zeldor May 12th, 2009 03:04 PM

Re: RAND-DOM DAWN (RDD) - PBEM Game
 
Pasha:

You need to make announcement about water nation.

And of course Caelum starts wiht 1 prov, not 3?

Micah May 12th, 2009 03:59 PM

Re: RAND-DOM DAWN (RDD) - PBEM Game
 
I'll put in a vote for 6-7 VPs now that I've thought about it and had a chance to look at the map.

I think you misunderstand the concept of "thesis". Once you finish, you will never be a real person again. Grad school is designed to rip await your normalcy, shred by shred, until the last traces are bound in your thesis and shelved, never to be seen again.

Hi Zeldor:

I have given the water nation a choice between Oceania and Atlantis. Once I know his choice, I will announce it.

I think it is wise for Caelum to start with only 1 province. I agree with Jurri's previous advice. (If the Caelum player strongly disagrees, then I will hear his argument. :) )

Hello:

This game is closed to additional players. The limit for the scenario is 12 players. Sorry to those who expressed interest but are excluded. There will likely be another RAND game, and of course, there is nothing that prevents other folk from hosting a RAND game. (The problem is that the host cannot play because he/she must know the ID of the players.)

Re: RAND-DOM DAWN (RDD) - PBEM Game
 
How about a compromise on the victory condition - - -> Need 6 out of 12 to win?

Lingchih May 13th, 2009 12:40 AM

Re: RAND-DOM DAWN (RDD) - PBEM Game
 
6 sounds good to me.

Fine consensus! :up:

WraithLord May 13th, 2009 04:12 AM

Re: RAND-DOM DAWN (RDD) - PBEM Game
 
sign me up for said consensus :)

Calahan May 13th, 2009 04:58 AM

Re: RAND-DOM DAWN (RDD) - PBEM Game
 
Six is fine with me.

PashaDawg May 13th, 2009 07:30 AM

Re: RAND-DOM DAWN (RDD) - PBEM Game
 
The water nation will be Atlantis.

okiN May 13th, 2009 12:07 PM

Re: RAND-DOM DAWN (RDD) - PBEM Game
 
Okay, so I guess everything's settled. I wish you all a speedy recovery from any epic burns suffered during the process of me seizing those five extra victory points.

Thanks for the link guys. Sorry for being optically challenged :)

Re: RAND-DOM DAWN (RDD) - PBEM Game
 
Well, perhaps I'll ask one last Q. Is there a catgod version for 3.23?- I did a search and as far as I could tell the most updates is compatible with 3.20.

Hello:

Turn 1 is out.

Deadline is Tuesday, assuming that Calmon has internet access while on vacation.

Thanks.

Hello:

Turn 2 is out.

Deadline is Wednesday at 9:00 pm Boston time.

By the way, I will be traveling to Washington DC from Thursday through Monday. I won't be able to host turns while I am away. Sorry.

I will be testifying before a joint session of Congress concerning the high risk of horror marks to children who don't play Dominions. I will likely also try to get Congress to address the increased bog beast problem in Northern Maine and Louisiana.

Thanks.
