Marathon Game: Takers? - Page 4

No problemmo. Pangaea's open. Just sign in and upload. Do remember to password. This is a multiplayer network game, after all.

Remember: This is a Marathon. We play more or less nonstop, except for a brief break because Condors wanted to sacrifice a few goats to his wife so she doesn't smite him.

Okay ladies. T minus 2:30 to kickoff. Pangaea has not signed in yet. We might have to pronounce them AWOL. Turnout not as impressive as I had hoped for. And it looks like the patch won't make it in time.

Everyone ready?

Pangea has signed in. 4 players so far, on the world map

Alrighty. 13 minutes to launch. Please make sure at this time that you have downloaded Illwinter's Earth map, in world.zip, from illwinter.com.

We seem to be Caelum-less, so the Caelum mod won't be necessary.

Navrunner/Pythium has not checked in yet. Although the game *IS* set for his schedule, he hasn't checked in on the thread yet. Maybe he'll make it.

Lastly, if anyone's starting position is absolutely intolerable, such as getting stranded on a no-exit-without-naval access island, call for a mulligan here early, while I still have the server guy on ytalk.

Server operator informs me that since everyone has checked in, he has launched the game.

Please inspect your starting locations and inform me if your starting position ended up being in New Zealand or something, and you can't leave so are hosed, and need a mulligan.

Let the games begin! Victory or death!

Guess the server guy forgot to turn it off.

It's time, and navrunner looks AWOL.

I'll give him 15 minutes to appear, then I'll tell the server host to bot him.
