Default Re: MP Game - Casual Carnage (noob/int game) - ope

I'm about to get the snot wiped from my *** in what was my first MP, so I guess its safe to now start a new MP. If you don't mind having 8 players in this game?

To make things right, I think I need to play Vanheim again in a comparable setting like this, just to make up for the blunders I've made in said earlier game (Note To The Wise: Don't play Midguard unless you know what you're doing! Which I don't, so I'll be playing Standard theme.. and might try the Moloch, but gotta run now and play "WinXP Fixit Man" for my GF... I'll upload a pretender by tonight (its 6:30am right now..).

8 is perfect - you're in!

Here's our player list:
Caelum - Boron
Mictlan - YellowCactus
Pangaea - Aku
Abysia - Thufir
Arco- PrinceMegaherz
Jotunheim - Galadin
C'tis - Lepakko
Vanheim - Lex


I'll see about getting us an IP/port

Wooten deeten dooten dooten deeten dooten doot.

The server is now up at:
benatar.snurgle.org
port 2005
Game is "CasualCarnage"

If for any reason you have trouble with the host name, the IP is 24.8.118.21. But use the name, as the IP may eventually change.

Awesome - this is great Sheap!

I have one question (that anyone knowledgeable may be able to answer), if you've uploaded your pretender once, is there any way to re-upload without a manual intervertion of the guy running the server?

I'd guess not, just based on the fact that we always go through the step of making someone anonymous on mosehansen, and use the web interface to do that, but I just had to ask.


Assuming the answer to the above is "no", everyone be careful with your uploads, and remember to put a password on them (if you are so inclined). It'd be nice to get this right on the first shot

Also, let me start the game - with luck I'll be able to do that before tonight. Hurrah!

Sure, just make your new pretender, re-connect and do the upload, it'll work fine.

That said: everyone please do remember your passwords. Most games that I've hosted have had to be restarted, but if everyone uploads the right god and remembers the password, we won't have to, which would be a real treat.

I'm starting to suspect this might be a lie.

Did you actually change your pretender? If so, could you send me a PM and attach the updated pretender file? Then I will know for sure whether it worked or not.

i hope you didn't think I'd make this easy for you

Actually, I've found that in theory a well played Vanheim should counter a well played Caelum. Likewise, Vanheim can also compliment Caelum extremely well. I must admit since I've started playing Dom, those are the two races that have captivated almost all my attention.

And I must admit that I like the sound of Vanheim and Caelum being captivated with each other in the course of this game.
