Well, speaking as biased public, I am not adverse to mod-patch Caelum either.

Sent pretender again, from 2 different accounts.

It may be that my main account is having sending issues, in which case please use

davethehunathotmaildotcom

as the standard address.

Thanks.

Well, all the countries are in, the game has been generated, and all the countrie files have been sent back out. I have a little pole to ask though. If you a) put a password on your pretender, and b) do not mind if I send your turn file in a mass email to other people who did put a password on their pretender, could you please either post a note to that effect (ie, you do not mind), OR send me an email.

This will save me innumberable time because I can just send out one bigger email to all of you, rather than having to go through and attack the specific files to everyone. Of course, if you didn't password, there's not much for you to reply to here.

Secondly, I forgot (in my great stupidity) to apply a Caelium mod for the cold. Therefore, You will shortly recieve a new turn file. This will be the real one. Ignore the first. Sorry for all of you who have already sent things in... just do it again.

Hah...so when they say play by email they mean play by email. So figured I would ask here rather than in email in case somone else was as clueless as I.

I got all the files (god, trn and mod) and loaded my turn. Do I just make my moves and hit end turn then exit and email my turn? It wasn't obvious that the trn file had changed (although an exit and restart confirms that it is)

Guess I answered my own question. And, I am certainly willing to have my trn massmailed.

Cheers,
Eric

It begins...

Tholvarag stirred as if waking from a long slumber. Instantly, his holy men came to his side, but he waved them away. As he rose from the dias, he could feel the loss. He was gone; there could be no doubt.

He turned and faced his servants, who watched him with a mixture of fear and anticipation on their faces. Somehow, they too had felt the loss of Him, and they were looking to Tholvarag to fill the void. Would the other peoples of the world look at him this way, or would they resist his power? Somehow, he felt he already knew the answer to this question.

He reached down to his side and drew the ancient ice blade of Niefelheim, Winter's Bite. Upon release from its scabbard, the blade flashed with power. Tholvarag, pretender god of Jotunheim, held the blade before him. He knew it would be some time before the blade would be put back to rest.

After a long pause, he addressed his servants.
"Summon the Jarls to the fortress, and send word to the Vaetti. Jotunheim is going to war. It is time to take the truth to the people of this world, by mouth or by sword. We will save this world from Chaos once again, as He did before. It is our duty and our right. We shall be victorious."

In his hand, Winter's Bite began to glow bright with anticipation.
