And I'd still like AoE to just pick two a couple (few) nations and each challenger pics one. Everyone plays those nations.

Next round, same thing..

If you have some people sticking out of the game, because of format, its not a good thing.

Still, I'll go with anything =)

I myself prefer the format as described by AOE. Even if I end up as a weaker nation against a strong nation, there is still the challenge of trying to do as much damage to the other nation as possible. I can understand why some people would want another matching system to better test player skill, as per some of the ealier suggestions. Someone can always start one up. But I like the idea of everyone playing a different nation, as described by AoE. To me it adds more magic, depth and mystery to the game.

A frost giant has cast Grip of Winter on the thread. Niefelheim wins before it even starts!

No, I think it's just a little slow on getting started. Believe me, you will wish it would die before the end.

It might be regenerating. In that case, fatigue probably won't be enough to kill it.

I think the mage that summoned has fled (I havn't seen him in a while) and now it is dissolving.

This thread has lost momentum, or maybe I got less enthusiastic seeing as it seems to be going nowhere. Add to that my dislike of the nation selection scheme and my 2/3 MP games that by now are progressed enough to require a significant chunk of my free time and, well, I think I'll just bow out of this one.

GL all, foremost in getting this thing going

We can do it ourselves. For instance, I challenge to a duel match Raiel (the player I was originally matched with). Let's PM to agree on nations. After the duel, the winner will pick another winner to duel in the 2nd round.

(2nd-round matches will involve players choosing between their nation and the one they defeated; even if the 2nd-round opponents have the same 2 nations, they can agree amongst themselves which one gets which. So this version doesn't even require complex nation-selecting)
