New MP Game - Random, Anonymous, No Diplomacy

Cainehill · #1 July 13th, 2005, 12:26 AM

I could use a drink, sure.

Don't pay any attention to Argitoth. Mind you, it is nice to be able to see the latest news in the first page, but that's mostly to have a place to see who is what nation - not applicable here. And besides - you didn't propose the game or start the thread.

Personally - I'd as soon get the show on the road. Wait til next week, we possibly lose more players, it becomes a revolving door situation when you try for a game with 17 players.

Have a great vacation!

OK, my opinion. Hopefully, Pasha will be getting the three missing pretenders soon. I also recall Alneyan saying that he would play if we needed him for 17 players. I also think YC could maybe do the first couple of turns for Huntsman since those turns are very easy.

I will PM Huntsman on the QT3 forum and ask him to go ahead and submit a pretender. I will also email Alneyan and ask him to play with us. If Pasha would email the three players with missing pretenders to remind them to submit them soon, I think we could start tomorrow. Once we get the first turn or two done, we could attempt to migrate to the JM server and try it on TCP/IC with 48 hr QH per the original plans.

It is amazing just how hard it is to start a big Dominoons game...

Yup, I will be playing as you cannot get those 17 players. Pretender should be sent in today.

Sorry folks but I'm going to have to pull out of this one. I'm going away for 4 days and I don't want to hold it up, especially for the early rounds. Good luck.

If we wait until Pasha is back from his short trip Huntsman will participate. At least i understand his last post this way.

Well this is a very special game. I guess a 17 player slaughtfest on a map like inland would start way quicker

Correct. I just don't want to hold you guys up befoer the thing even gets started! I'm leaving tomorrow and won't be back until Sunday night. After that, I ain't going anywhere except for a couple long weekends but I should be able to manage those around the 48 hour hosting.

I volunteer to fill in a place if you are getting vacant slot for me. I have not played a single multiplayer but i claim to be an expert soloplayer, as i just got proper inet connection.

Alneyan · #7 July 13th, 2005, 03:07 PM

Whollaborg: my spot may be available, but the decision will be up to Panther at the end of the day. I am not particularly eager to play, so don't be afraid to take my spot; even if I wanted another game badly, I could just create my own game, and voil�!

Alneyan,

Thank you for your very kind offer. If Panther decides to let me in i'd promise not to disappoint you.
