Okay, here's the breakdown:

1. Everyone needs to upload pretenders. As soon as this is done we can start, yay.

2. Province starts are semi-set. Each team has 2 players and 2 start spots. I will randomly assign which of two goes where by coin flip unless you tell me you'd prefer otherwise. The start spots are:

Names.........Provinces
-----------------------
Sivoc and Egoix - 8&23
Coturnix and ExitJudas - 141&118
Cleveland and Cicadian - 84&52
TrajanX and Zylithan - 146&153

I will try to set this late tonight, to give people time to respond, but also to get the game to start. I will post to this forum where everyone starts (so I don't know any more than anyone else) once the map is set. If everyone uploads pretender tonight, we'l all have turns waiting for us tomorrow. yay!

Thanks all for being patient and great during setup. Hope we have a fun and competitive game.

Hey sorry for being the quiet one (same as in Oppossum) but life is giong through one of those busy times.. This game is going to be awesome though! I've only been Mictlan briefly in a SP game and had a pretty horrible time with the whole blood business. Seriously, I can think of many more interesting things for a egomaniacal wannabe diety to do with maidens, other than sacrifice them, but I digress. Blood for the Blood God and all that good stuff. Although what the hell is an Argatha? Bandar Log? Lots of races I haven't seen before, this will be fun. Maybe by the end we can all be 90% noobs instead of 100%

Also, Zylithan, you left out the coolest-but-most-obvious factoids about platypi. They have beaks and lay eggs but are furry and warm blooded. Non-viviparous mammals are awesome. Someone should make a monotreme race for Dom 3!

Sounds like you just volunteered.

Then, when you're done, I'll make a tritreme race and we'll see how well you do against me. Frick it, if 3 blades are better why not go for 4, I'll make a quadratreme race. I'll so have many more tremes than you.

Can't wait to go home, have a beer, and maybe get this game started.

Awesome job team platypus. This game has gotten up and going relatively quickly for a bunch of noobs. I think within 24 hours we should all get our first turns. Turns are due within 24 hours of the last turn (early turns should move quickly). If all turns are sent in early, we get more turns quicker. I'm american so more is always better to me.

As always, info on the llamaserver can be found at:
http://www.shrapnelcommunity.com/thr...?Number=531116

Quoting directly from the great llama's mouth:
------------------------------------------------
irst, you need to create a directory for the game. Go to your dominions3 directory, open the 'savedgames' folder, and then within savedgames create a new folder with whatever name you want - but generally using the name of the game is a good idea.

So for example for the 'Alpaca' game, I created a directory 'dominions3\savedgames\Alpaca'.

When the game starts, you will be sent a trn file. You need to put this in the game folder you just created. You'll then be able to play your turn as normal using the 'Play an existing game' option in Dominions.

Once you've taken your turn and hit 'End turn', you should find a 2h file in the same directory that you put your trn file in. It'll have a name along the lines of 'mid_machaka.2h' (depending obviously on the age and the nation you're playing). This is the file that contains your orders, and you then need to email it to turns[ at ]llamaserver[ dot ]net. Obviously replace '[ at ]' with '@' and '[ dot ]' with '.' - I've written it funny so that the e-mail address doesn't get used for spam e-mails.

Within a few minutes you should get a receipt e-mail from the server (it checks its emails every five minutes). You can also see who's taken their turns and when the deadline is by looking at the website - www.llamaserver.net.
