MP: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game Over. Vets defeat Noobs.

[Micah]

Just to chime in: Team games do allow substantially larger maps since no one player is having to manage everything. I generally find 50 provinces about the threshold of "fun" for me. Assuming the game would end if the vets get a bit more than half the map that would give 50 provs * 4 players / 50% of the map = 400 provs maximum. Of course if you disagree with the 50 prov number it changes things, but the point is team games cut down the amount of MM each player has to do by a lot. I'm also not playing this round, so I don't get a vote. =)

I agree with Micah and illuminated one. Heh. Though I'd wish you would join. I wouldn't mind having 8 the best in the game, actually, that was the idea.

So we are good to go now, right? With darloth signed up to noobs we can pull GrudgeBringer off the alts list and we are up to 9.

Apparently there is a shortage of green noobs theses days. GrudgBringer is sort of noobish, not totally green I beleive.
Keep in mind I want at least 1 alternate on board for each team, I don't want to have to go hunting for them later on.

In any case, we will do one of these three, whichever comes first. Let us all agree.

1. We stick to the original design 8 vs 4, Grudgebringer remains an alternate and the vets drop 1 (decide amongst yourself who is the least experienced, and we'll move him to alternate status).

2. I'll agree to Ironhawk's compromise, 9vs5, provided we have enough noobs and an alternate(s), however, I will not give vets first choice of nations in this scenario.

3. We do 10vs5, keeping the ratio's straight, the vets retain first choice.

Seems we need a couple of more noobs for options 2 and 3, so vets if you want to begin now, we do option 1, otherwise lets send out those invites for noobs. Fair enough? I must protect the interests of the noobs here.

I think the best solution for now would be to have grudgebringer come in and take a noob slot. He doesn't seem to be following the thread though so he may need some prompting.

Grudgebringer prefers to remain as an alternate right now. He's in 4 games right now. If the vets want to begin at once, option 1 is the way to go. (Note: I chose the team size for a reason, it is easier for me to place players, I can place the vets in the cardinal directions with exactly two noobs in opposition.)

Personally being in more than 2 or 3, is pushing it, but it depends on your available time and the settings of the game.

I've played one MA MP game to completion and am in the middle of one LA MP game now. I'm pretty green, got another noob slot?

Let's get it started! I'm going on vacation in May, and I would like to have some turns done by then.

[Lingchih]

Sounds like we are good to go then.
