Principe - EA Machiavellian newbie game - Game started!

[WingedDog]

That's exactly my type of game! >-) Unfortunately I'm already in 2 other games and can't afford to join another. Just wanted to express my apretiation to Tifone for the 1st post - that's the wonderful example how a game should be organised the RIGHT way: everithing is perfectly clear for everyone joining the game. I think he's a great administrator to play with is always a pleasure.

[Tifone]

Thanks a lot WingedDog. Should you change your mind and wish to try this experience with us, it will be a pleasure

[lwarmonger]

Well, I'll take Sauromatia... I am currently in my first multi-player game, so this will make two.

[Tifone]

Well, welcome aboard Iwarmonger and Spritz

Just 4 open slots now We are still missing both the water nations, too

[Ephraim]

I'd like to try Ulm. I'm pretty much a complete noob--I'm in my first MP games right now, both of them are at turn 10, so I really have no MP experience yet.

Looks like a fun game in the making!

EDIT: Hmm, just noticed you are still missing water nations. If we are short on water, I'd happily play Atlantis. First choice:Ulm, Second choice: Atlantis

Probably shows how much a noob I am--I know both of those nations are reported to be weak, but I like'em anyway!

Looks like a fun game!

[Mithras]

I just joined my first mp game but since its not a newb only game I'm expecting to be completely smashed by turn ten, so I'll have more time for this...
I'll take Niefelheim because then I get to be a gruff man of the north and trample all over the diplomacy of the European courts this seems to be based on (oh and yes I know enough to start throwing those wolven winter spells around, I haven't tried it yet though, so if it seems overpowered feel free to switch me over too Fomoria)

[Tifone]

Welcome Ephraim and Mithras! I see no reason why you shouldn't have your first choice for nations.
I also rejoice in seeing both of you really like the mood and theme of your nations

Well, we are just missing the two water nations now I hope somebody will soon answer the call of the oceans...

[Illuminated One]

It's kind of ironic that in a machiavellan game everyone is taking the weak nations for their style.
Well, all the better if noone can stand up to the cunning of the honorable and naive Marverni.

[Tifone]

Well, 10 players in less than one day isn't bad at all We are still missing the water nations though. If you guys agree, I'd wait another 12/14 hours from now before raising the experience roof for those 2 nations (allowing them for more expert players). They are in a *very* good position in the map IMO so giving them to an expert player might be unbalancing, but I don't want to make you guys wait forever for this game too
