Opossum - Started

[llamabeast]

It's been quite a while since I ran a game for new/newish players - so I thought I would get one going. This game will run on my automated PBEM server ( www.llamaserver.net ).

This'll be an MA game, played on a modified version of Parganos I've made (attached). It's similar to the normal Parganos map, but I've reassigned the terrain types a bit to make it a bit fairer (so one person doesn't start in an endless swamp, for instance).

There's room for 7 land nations and one water nation, but I'd actually prefer not to use the water nation spot.

The timer will be on 24 hour quickhost (i.e. it hosts when all turns are in or after 24 hours, whichever is sooner). Once we reach mid game and the turns start to take longer the timer can be extended to 48 hours if people prefer.

Required level of newishness: Up to you! If you don't feel it would be unfair to play against new players, you're welcome. Probably you'll have played 0, 1 or 2 MP games or so.

Please post and say what nation you'd like! Make sure you read other people's posts to check your nation hasn't already been taken. Oh, one thing: No Vanheim, just to prevent upsetting double-bless instant knockouts.

To upload your pretenders:

- Make sure you don't have any pretender-affecting mods (e.g. Conceptual Balance) enabled
- Go to Game Tools -> Create a pretender god in Dominions
- Go to the savedgames/newlords folder in the dominions directory, and find your pretender file (e.g. mid_pythium_0.2h)
- E-mail the file to: pretenders[ at ]llamaserver[ dot ]net
- Crucially, you must have the game name 'Opossum' in the subject line of your e-mail

The players are:

Pythium - Chicanist
Man - DryaUnda
Abysia - Zylithan
C'tis - TrajanX
Marignon - JanIm
Shinuyama - Potatoman
Ermor - carlosib

---- Players who will be saved a spot if they want it for next newbie game, probably in a couple of weeks or so.
