Ascendant - Game On!

Oh. Sorry, then.I can only afford playing PBEMs.

[Renojustin]

Huh? It's even easier than PBEM. We won't charge you, either.

A-ha! Thank you for that "we won't charge you" line, Justin, because I think I finally understand now why people would not want to play networked games and prefer PBEM. I guess I'm as used to Internet flat rates as you are, but I think those people are paying for their Internet connectivity per minute and think that they have to stay connected while they are preparing their turns for the game. That's NOT the case.

You can disconnect directly after your game client downloaded the latest turn from the game server, which happens automatically, prepare the turn offline like you would do it for a local or PBEM game, and then connect again to let your game client automatically upload it to the server. This is even the recommended way of playing turns.

No more Agartha? It looks like pretenders began to fall even before combat...

[secretperson]

will the server info be posted here or in our e-mails?

[lch]

You will receive emails with all the info inside once the game starts.

1) Using a battlefield enchantment that stays after the mage has retreated is a major shortlist issue and is not allowed. Using evocations, buffs, whatever, and retreating is just fine though.

2) Mists of Deception, even in conjunction with battlefield enchantments, is fine as well... but see 1). You cannot script the mage to retreat, nor have the Returning ritual cast on them, nor items with the same effect, if you use a battlefield enchantment. If there is a chance to kill them, and thus negate the enchantment, it's perfectly acceptable in my opinion.

It appears as though Real_friend wants to withdraw, citing internet connectivity issues. So I'm recruiting one last person I saw in the general forums wondering how to get into his first MP game. If he doesn't answer soon, I'm going to quickly find someone who will join us ASAP.

Everyone's waited long enough to play this game, I think. I'd like to apologize to anyone who signed up for a 13 person game that then turned into a 15 person game, if it's going to inconvenience.

hunt11/Yomi, get your pretender in to Ich yet?

I'll fill if your other guy doesn't get back to you, I've never played a MP before and was hoping to get in on this game but it was already full. Let me know, otherwise I'd like to be noted as wanting to join the next noobie game that starts up.
