is it time to submit pretenders?

[Lazy_Perfectionist]

You may, but there's no need to hurry.

The game is set up, and will take your pretender (and also a replacement, if you change your mind), but we won't be able to actually start the game until Friday the Fourteenth, for a few technical reasons.

Two players had to drop out, so Big Arse Game is open again, and looking for a person to submit a pretender for Caelum and Mictlan.

I'll take Caelum.

This is LA Caelum, right? I know post #2 says the game is late age but I wanted to make sure since I saw two Ulms, and I thought Ulm Reborn displaces the default LA Ulm.

[Lazy_Perfectionist]

Yes, this is standard Late Age Caelum.

With the latest version of Ulm Reborn, it takes up a mod slot so we need not displace the original Ulm. Civil war!

Welcome to the game, DyraUnda.

Yeah it's a bit silly, that I have Neutoboren Guardians and he has Ghoul Guardians, apparently we both won a long siege in the same town?

I'm just throwing up words from my arse, but what about this explanation. When the fall of Ulm was nigh some supernatural entity* did some kickass spell and made two different timelines (Note: Trousers of Time), one where ulm ascended into light and one where they descendented into darkness. When the timelines came together, both Ulms noticed that there is some asskicking to be done.

*Possibilites include: Aufglarung, ReverendZombies pretender and some R'lyeh starspawns who thought that it would be a funny practical joke.

I can take Mictlan. Uploading pretender i 10 minutes.

[Dedas]

Mictlan is already taken so I can't upload. What to do?

I apologize for my earlier statements.

The person who assigned capitals got trapped by the addition of an extra player and two players had to get the short straw.

I am one of the unfortunates.

If only two players got the short straw, only three moves to an enemy capital, then it was just being trapped by the mathematics of the situation.

For a perfectly hexogonal map, filled with six sided provinces, wraparound, in order to have everyone 4 moves away from the enemy capital you need 18 provinces per player. For three moves, you need 9.33 provinces per player.
However, there is less than six linkages per province, normally, but not that much. So less than 18 provinces, perhaps around 15-17. However, this is clearly very close and make proper distance assignment difficult. Thus it is very difficult to give EVERYONE 4 moves to enemy capital.

I drew the short straw.

But someone probably had to.

Has the llamaserver gone wierd again?

I'm not getting any response when I mail in my turn.
