MP Game - Anyone interested in a *really* slow game? *full and running**

[Vicious Love]

Anonymous? I seem to be missing something...

And, yeah, the concept of a really slow game does seem to have dizzying appeal at the moment. The question is how many people still approve of it after this little test run of ours is through, around September of next year.

Update: My mistake, turns out my browser just wonked out on me the first time I used the "confess" feature. My bad.

Updated update: Of course, in the process of realizing that that was my only oversight, I created a new pretender, uploaded him, then confirmed I was him. Naturally, I forgot to set a password for this latter god.
It's now five recreations of the exact same god(To get titles nearly as kickass as the ones I initially got) later, and all is well in the House of Me.

Yet another update: Wow. Full house. It's becoming less and less likely that I'll survive the early-game expansion.

The normal Version, all the lakes are connected - this is a huge screwy advantage for the water nations, as they can be far far away, and yet, they can reach almost any area of the map.

The dry Version removes the linkage between the isolated lakes, making (in some people's opinions) a more balanced map.

If we aren't explicitly using Karan-Dry, then we're using regular Karan.

if ermor or mictlan ends up being a no-show, i'd be happy to take either (w/ pref for mictlan out of the two). I've never played either and would like to try them out. a slow game is ok, but i especially like the appeal of being knocked out reasonably fast

edit: ahh, i see mictlan has shown. if any nations are free, i can respond fairly quickly and upload.

I didn't specify it but I'm also for Karan dry Version.

It seems that I've missed a chance to delete my no-password pretender.
Could you pleeeeeease kick anonymous players again. Please, please, please.

Someone can step into my Machaka slot. This game is too crowded for my taste.

You need to check the box "That's not me!" in the game view. That will make you anonymous. Then ask me to kick all anonymous players.

This was implemented as people apparently overwrote pretender positions --- hopefully by accident or unknowingly.

You can --- and should! --- check if the pretender you have uploaded is the correct one using the md5 sum. In linux, the utility is name md5sum --- if you are using another OS just post it and some other guy can tell you how to do it.

Once you have claimed the pretender as you (Checking the That's me! box) the pretender is locked and can only be unlocked by you.
