Cool, yeah sorry I forgot to post my little guid to actually playing the game.

I'm sorry, but I'm moving into a new apartment this weekend and won't have an internet connection available to me until Tuesday the 9th. Could we have another intermission until that time?

turn 2 is up.. i dont know if you're still around potatoman, but if you are, go for it.

i'm fine to wait. i mean, i'd rather play 30 turns tonight

but if i need a delay I'd like to have one, so I'm fine granting that to others.

Postponed. I's just waiting for you Potatoman, so just play it whenever you get back online.

Good luck with the move!

Alright guys, tips for a fun game (taken from a post of mine on the Mongoose thread):

- Engage in lots of diplomacy. It's fun. Send messages to your neighbours, preferably in the character of your nation. Make threats, deals and alliances. One thing though - if you actually agree to a deal (such as peace for n turns, or exchanging items), do stick to it, otherwise you are likely to upset other players and make the game unfun.
- Post in-character stuff on this thread. See Tuidjy's posts on the "Neo Xekinima" thread for an excellent example of this. I really enjoy reading that thread.

People always say the most fun games are the ones with lots of messages flying around and posts on the forum. Silent games are fun too, but miss out on one cool element of multiplayer play - they're a bit more like single player versus very competent AIs.

Yeah.. looking forward to some diplomacy.. once I figure out who my neibhors are

We're only one tunr in

But.. we should move forward soon, right? Potatoman said he'd be back today?

ALSO... new patch 3.10 is out. Are we going to switch to this? How/when? Llama?

Posting from work... I will hopefully be able to take my turn today. The broadband installer guy is going to be coming around sometime before 6 pm.

Thanks for waiting, everyone!
