VPs will shorten the game, which is fine. I am very slightly against VPs, only because i am about to play another VP game... I really dont care that much.

I would vote against cumulative VPs, but I'm indifferent to using standard VPs. VPs do make a large map more workable for the end game and I like that. I think it makes sense to have either a VP condition or a province total condition, but its not essential.

VP's do allow for the "teleport in with SC" attacks for the win, which can be obnoxious. On the other hand, they do shorten the game.

After reading the AAR of this VP game I suggest caution with VPs.

Summary of complaints: the game ended early (turn 48) and abruptly (by raiding). Players never seem to castle thier VPs. The 3 point VP provinces are too much. 40% Vp is too low, 65% suggested.

Agreed.

Gaaarrrr! I cant wait any longer either!

Just the anticipation of losing in such a complete and total way is immobilizing.

But seriously, i am excited and I am fairly certain that I have set myself up to lose with Marv and a very poor pretender pick.

Haha, that's the spirit, Cor. I wasn't feeling too well and took the day off and I find myself stranded at home with too much time on my hands... I need the game to start! =)

I sent in my Vanheim pretender last night (Australia time) so I'm not sure who we are waiting on.

I'd prefer standard VPs myself since it will be a large map and it adds a bit of strategy. I guess they should have defended the VPs better in that AAR game. We should at least go for a province total condition, of course I have not played a MP game yet so I'm not sure.
