You're right, for the first several turns it should be completely unnecessary. But hopefully it will make communication run a lot more smoothly when we do need it. Everyone will be able to see everyone else's input in one spot. I figure, communication is going to be one of the key hurdles we have to pass in order to have a fighting chance in this game, so anything that makes it easier and run more smoothly is worth exploring. Setting up the forum was pretty easy, I only spent about an hour configuring everything for our purposes. So it wasn't a big deal I just hope that when the time comes, it gets used by enough of us to help.

I still don't expect to win but I want to put on a good show

Edit: Thanks again for the forum suggestion Ano, that was brilliant.

Fear my, um, pushy organizational skills. Maybe you guys should set up a board for yourselves, and after the game is over we can open them up to public viewing for a little bit of post-game analysis

You or septimius might want to contact the rest of the vet team, lingchih, just to make sure who still intends to play. It would be a shame not to get this going.

And we still need more nation submissions. Team Noob, I believe we have 3 of 8 nations picked now?

Edit: I take that back, we have 5.

That was me, no worries.

We've got 4 noobs and 2 vets (including Big and Scary a possible Ermor) with nations picked so far.

Still waiting on Zeldor, and Ironhawk among the vets.

You should now be able to view the hidden forum. Please tell me if it works.

[Lingchih]

Well, I guess we Vets don't need a board. We know what we have to do. I wish the remaining Vets would sign in though.

Sign me up with Marignon, blood and fire all the way. As a note I am slightly against the idea of including Rlyeh and Ermor in a game like this.

In a normal game usually rlyeh and ermor is kept somewhat in check due to people teaming up against them, since this is not the case these two nations might be overpowered (also I am against a lone water nation being able to goble up all the water without anyone able to stop him). Anyway, its not a big deal but I thought I would mention this.

[rdonj]

The dom effects could be pretty annoying to deal with too.

[Evilhomer]

hmm, just remembered I am playing mari in another game starting up, switch me to agartha.

I would like to make one statement in the defense of Ermor. Ermor's greatest strength is in playing opposing players off against one another. Most players don't want to invade Ermor, so they sit idly by while Ermor swallows up their weaker neighbors. Ermor survives by making alliances to secure their borders, then praying on non-allied players. I know this because I almost won with them in the BAG last year, only losing because the other three players joined forces against me. While Ermor is often hindered by being in fixed alliances, meaning it has to hold back its dominion and be careful how it opperates, it is also weak in the face of allied groups, because they present a force that can exploit all of Ermor's weaknesses while protecting their own.
I just like to play Ermor, I enjoy them. Not because they are a powerhouse, as they have been repeatedly nerfed, but becaus ethey are fun, until micromanagement sets in.

I wish to try my hand at Ulm - Black Forest.

Oh, and I'm in US Eastern time zone (GMT-5).
