how do you create a restricted list? Am I booted/SoL?

Ulm god wasnt sent in during the signup phase. Sorry but once the game starts there isnt a way to add that I now of.

You might watch and see if we have another false start.

Hmmm, I thought I'd been watching the server like a hawk... signup was less than 12 hours over new year's eve?

Oh well. Maybe next game.

I think the God creation function should have a regenerate title (God of Pain, Mayhem and Flatulence, etc) button as an option for those of us who want to try to be a little sneaky in MP, or just don't like our honorific. I had to create my pretender 15 times before I got a good title, and then forgot to put in the password! ;(

Thanks, Gandalf Parker, for the hint.

I suppose I should have figured out that I should click on open. I think this is going to be fun.

PLEASE people. If you take a nation in ANY multiplayer game, be responsible enough to make sure it doesnt hold up everyone else. Im recently been in 3 other games that just plain came to a stop.

I take it for granted that we are all patient enough to allow for 1 turn a day instead of a hotseat rush, and that we probably arent thrilled if things go longer than 24 hours.

If you cant play for 24 hours due to a trip or something then arrange for a friend to take your turn, or post here, or contact Ryan, or myself. We dont even need your password. If you want we can force process the game anyway. (actually if Ryan wants it we can force a hosting even if someone doesnt contact us)

And if you get mad at your situation, and decide to drop out of the game, PLEASE let us know so we can find a replacement or set you to AI. Dont leave everyone hanging and wondering.

Gandalf,

I think I played my turn. It shows as being played and as Man being the only nation that hasn't played when Last I looked.

If I didn't play my turn, please let me know.

Thanks.

Your turn is in. We are fine so far. I just wanted to make the post as suggestions to try and keep this game from becoming like others Ive been in where 2 weeks later everyone decides the game must be dead.

Maybe put the game as a force host every night at 12? Im sure everyone can find some time sometime each day, even if its just a minute or two.

Once the game gets past the beginning, it'll take more than a few minutes to do one's turn though. For those that survive long enough to get there that is, as the map is pretty crowded.
