Default Re: Halls of Valhalla - the endless battles

I don't mind changing any settings, as log as the players agree to it. I also don't mind larger maps, as long as the players think its acceptable or enough people show up to fit. I don't need to get a game started as soon three people show up, but I do want to keep people from waiting to long. If we've got the minimum and people are getting antsy for the game to start, I'll start it. If people are patient, and somebody shows up every forty-eight hours or so, or everybody wants a larger game, then I'll wait. I'll try and adjust the map to the number of players that appear.

Llamaserver FAQ

Pretenders should not be sent until everybody joins and the game is created.

Large sections removed for brevity's sake, since the LlamaServer FAQ (frequently asked questions) is up.

That makes two. I'll wait two or three days for anyone else to sign up, and I'll probably be out of Jaguar by then. If it looks like nobody's biting, I'll step in and play.

Yeah, I have played in PBEM games before, I just didn't know if there was a difference between this and that. To be honest, it is more hassle than it is worth.

You can count me out on this.

What particular is the problem? Is it the PBEM, or the time settings? I can change the latter.

Default Question for non-interested people

Question for non-interested people who've read the thread.
If you've looked at this proposal, and decided its not for you, what turned you off of the idea?

RE:FAJ
It's hardly that much hassle, my blather aside. Or at least I hope to convince you so. If I can't, well, sorry to see you go. It means we're further from getting the game up.

The pretenders a minor hassle, but only setup once. Its a matter of taking the pretender with the most recent timestamp and sending that one it.

With a good email program/website, it remembers where you've saved last, saving you quite a few clicks. It also remembers the 'subject' after a few letters, so you don't need to type up Chupacabra every time. I send my turn to jaguar and chupacabra with about four keystrokes.

On the plus side, this system results naturally in a backup of every turn in case something goes wrong.

Personally, I just prefer games larger than this.
