Marathon Game: Takers?
 

I'm pondering the starting of a marathon game: Illwinter's World map, non-scenario Version. None of that sissy PBEM 1 turn a day stuff, no snivelling about "having a life". Game runs start-to-finish, from kickoff to the Last man standing, breaks only for food: Sleep is for wimps.

Have a dedicated hoster lined up already.

Any takers?

Could you please propose those at the beginning of a weekend, not at the end of it. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

In three weeks (next week is an important birthday, the week after that is the german boardgaming team-championship), I'd be game. On a moderatley sized map, at least.

40 hours nonstop playing is nothing. *cough*

Meh. I figure it'll be at least a week before we get enough victims. I haven't set a kickoff date yet anyway.

Besides, as a retired hermit living in the equivalent of a hole in the ground, I don't have a good fix on what day it is at any point anyway, and my only bearing on what constitutes night and day is the activity level on the Internet sites I'm at.

All enormously huge maps *ARE* moderately sized. They're always too small at the beginning, and too big at the end. That averages out to be moderately sized, yes?

And birthdays, pah! I despise birthdays. It took forever to break my friends of that annoying habit, where they would always send me junk and expect that I should do the same. So annoying! You'd think that as an adult, you'd learn to buy your own crap. It's so much easier when you don't have to worry about what somebody might actually want, and just let them buy their own stuff.

Food breaks? Isn't your fridge and microwave next to your computer?
I would be interested. I could play almost any weekend.

I'm sure interested in enhancing my sleep disorder, where do I sign up?

Re: Marathon Game: Takers?
 

if you don't mind a new player i would be interested

Awwright! We got 4 or 5 victims now. What time do you folks want to hold kickoffs, and does anyone have a national preference of sorts? I'm currently leaning a tad towards Ermor again...burnination is just so much fun.

Okey dokey. Is this good for all of our takers? If so, I'll have him bring up the server so we can begin the sign-in.
