Crazy Game - Started

[WraithLord]

Well, I would have loved to join but I'm currently engaged in four MP games and I don't I think I can squeeze a fifth in.
One of them games is about to end, so maybe if this game was scheduled to start in a week or so from now I might be able to join.

Oh and I'm moving to a new apartment at the beginning of July, meaning my Internet connectivity will be hurt for a week or two, so I'm not sure if this is reasonable for this game or not.

[PashaDawg]

Well, maybe we will leave this "invitation" open for a while.

What happened to the days when games filled up within 24 hours?

[shovah]

the same thing that happened to the dinosaurs (they got abducted by aliens )

[PashaDawg]

Pesking aliens sucking the brains out of the heads of our Dominions buddies! Grrrrrr! Where's my ray gun?

[Shmonk]

Maybe summertime blues... or we're all waiting for Dom 3and don't want to start a Dom 2 game if we have to quit in a month or so! Pre-ordered my copy yesterday.

[Ygorl]

I'm in two pretty big games right now... I'd love to play, but don't have the time!

[Jurri]

I'll play! Pasha's an awesome host, so I'm surprised this game isn't full already.

I would suggest a crazy ending condition to top it, though: let's stop the moment Pasha holds Dom3 in his paws. (About 30+ turns, if we go three turns a week and the game ships in July.) That way no one need feel reservations about joining because s/he is waiting for the sequel, and as an additional bonus we avoid the nasty endgame, which seems to be a turn-off for some. Whoever has the most victory points or provinces or whatever at the time wins: research or gold might be more interesting, since VPs or provinces change owner's very easily, which might make the last few turns untowardly messy in an environment where the game is set to end at a certain time.

Another option would be trying out that hexmap from Ballbarian: I take it it's for four players which is the amount we have right now.
