Neo Xekinima - LA game of Mod nations (finished)

[lch]

I now have received pretenders from everybody yesterday except Sanguinia / Dragonninjaakira. I haven't heard back from him at all, does somebody have his email address? I'll PM him again and in case I don't get a reply I'll ask Morkilus to take over or clear the position for other players again. Another alternative would be to keep the Hoburgs out of the game and let LoloMo play Sanguinia, if he agrees and you're really that much concerned about them.

[LoloMo]

Yep, I can switch to Sanguinia if Dragonninjaakira doesn't play

I PMed dragonninjaakira's address to lch (hope you don't mind, DNA).

I'd really like to see the hoburgs make it into the game, even though they're supposed to be all-mighty. They don't have late-game goodness, and they're even shorter than my dwarves, so how bad could they be?

[lch]

I can sympathize with the argument that playing against Heim-like nations can be frustrating. So if Dragonninjaakira doesn't reply to my PMs and email by tomorrow, LoloMo can play Sanguinia. LoloMo, please send me a pretender for Sanguinia when you have some time to do that.

[Morkilus]

Need a player yet?

Size isn't as big of a factor as you may think, where strength is concerned. Bone and muscle mass-and more importantly, density are also big factors, and low gravity is actually an advantage.

Now if you're talking mass, they don't have it, but there's nothing that says a midget can't be very, very strong. For that matter, I'm one of the strongest people I've ever met, and I'm a big, tall guy at 6'2, but most of the other very strong people, including my wife who's around 5'4, have been short.

And if you read the stories about dwarves, not only do they live very active lifestyles doing labor intensive work, they're also superhumanly strong.
