Default Re: Mega Age II -Kingmaker(full) Race selection

LLamabeast has set up the server to accept pretender selections. There are detailed instructions on how to send in your pretender in the 1st post of the thread.

DO NOT use a password. A pw is not needed for Llamaserver, and it prevents the game administrator(me in this case) from setting a race to ai without Llamabeast's intervention.

Since I am playing in the game, I do not personally set races to ai, but i will ask a player not in the game to do so. A game admin. can send a player's turn file to a different email address, but the original player gets an email alerting him that the game admin. has done so. And obviously no game admin. has a valid reason to do so unless that player has stale turned sufficiently to require an involuntary sub or his race be set to ai.

Given the number of games llamaserver is now hosting, it is quite unreasonable to burden Llamabeast with the chore of setting a race to ai when it inevitably needs to be done.

In short, it is inconsiderate to pw protect your pretender.
And llamabeast can bypass your pw in any event, so a certain amount of trust in Llamabeast is required. You are not required to trust anyone else, including game administrators, as they have no access to your turn files.

And having interacted with Llamabeast on various mods, and as an ally in a MP game, my trust in him is absolute.
