The New Game: The Revenge

Heh. What an odd Argitoth. He can check his email, and use IRC, but can't get simple-TCP to a single port to work.

That's what you get for using a crappy router, instead of a proper Linux box!

Looks like we'll be having quite the party.

I do believe I'll join - or actually, I can't quite believe it. Question though - random rare or common? It will definately make a difference to pretender design. I'll be playing Vanheim.

Rare. The World map is enormously huge enough that even on rare events, you're probably going to get your full quota of 3 events a round. I always have, even on an Order-3 race, randoms rare race.

What rare *DOES* reduce is the possibility that your temple/lab/home province BURNS TO THE GROUND inside of the first 3 turns of the game, leaving you totally jacked.

And hey, either way works out in *MY* favor. I'm luck 3, and I'm going to burn down all my provinces anyway.

So, here's the present preliminary roll call:

Me: Ermor
Tujin: Caelum or Pangaea (undecided)
Argitoth: C'tis
Condors: Ulm (probably)
Navrunner: Unspecified(?)
Truper: Vanheim
DarkTears: Machaka(?)
Graeme: Arco

My, regular full house this game.

If tujin chooses caelum, i'll take pangea. Lots of people in the game sounds like fun.

Pretender uploaded. Further question: has it been customary to use irc or some messenger service to communicate during these epics?

Not really. Mostly because I am devoid of IRC, because being on IRC has always filled me with an urge to do severe bodily harm to the others on the channel. I think I might have been on the wrong channels, though. Either way, I lack an IRC client. Does anyone have a Linux IRC client that is not too much work to set up and directions how to operate it?

Messenger, on the other hand, I consider to be beneath my dignity to touch. If I absolutely MUST contact somebody who's only point of contact is through IM, I dispatch a minion (aka. "flunky" or "*****"), to deliver my message.
