ahhh, I'd like to join but I wont have time to play, I have a trip soon, but maybe I could play for a few turns and get a sub. for a couple of turns, I'll work it out, put me in for Ermor if it is still open.

On second thought I dont want Ermor, I'll take machaka

Any idea of turn frequency? I suppose it'll be the usual 24hr for early turns then 48?
If it doesn't begin this week, I'd be in with Arco.

Kuritza · #4 May 5th, 2008, 12:55 PM

I'll take Marignon.

Lets burn!

Aezeal,

I'd like to see a 30hr until turn 24 (or so), and then move to 48hr based on majority vote.

Can you give me a sense of timing? When will pretenders be due? Tentative start date of game, etc.? Thanks

I'd like to join as Niefelheim.

LDiCesare · #7 May 5th, 2008, 03:43 PM

There's no Niefelheim in MA, "only" Jotunheim (Iron Woods).

VP meaning provinces that provide points? I'm playing a game with one province that everybody fights over, and I'm pretty tired of it... but presumably there are various ways to do it, other than that.

I would totally play to the end in a straight battle without VP. I mean if I survived that long.

Yeah, im not so huge on the VP's, though I suppose we can use em if alot of other people like em.

Yes, by VP I meant Victory Points of which you need to control a certain amount in order to win the game.
I have played in games which had multiple VPs on the map and I can say from my experience that VP games are more interesting than normal ones because there's a tangible objective for the game.

If Aezeal decides to go with VPs, I recommend the following setup regarding the amount of VPs:
1) 2x the number of players. Randomly assigned on the map and need to control ~40% of the VPs in order to win.

or

2) One VP in each capital and none in the regular provinces. 40% of the VPs required for the win.

Bananadine: I can certainly see several reasons for a player getting frustrated in game that has only one VP on the map but those reasons are indeed due to game settings rather than VPs in general as a victory condition.
