UberCat is the admin for this game, so please direct requests for delays etc to him.

Note that the original thread had stuff about not using exploits. I won't bother spelling them out here - everyone is grown up enough not to be interested in using exploits, I'm sure.

The first turn has 48 hours on the clock in case of any difficulties. Subsequent ones will have 24 hours, until you guys reach a consensus that it should be extended to 48.

Oh, another thing. From my own experience, I would say one of the best ways to make it into an awesome game is to do lots of diplomacy and roleplaying. Send your neighbours messages, make plans and alliances. Post here with battle reports and stories of what your pretender's been up to. Between you, you're making an epic.

Thanks Llama, you are great

Thanks Llama

I have my pretender still in the NewLords file but have deleted the freshmeat file with the TRN and First turn.

Do we need to resend in our Pretenders and I WILL need the TRN and first turn file. Thanks

Great Job llamabeast!!

Thanks Ubercat for taking over...

Hope nobody objects, but I've started looking for a sub for majuva68, and asked Ubercat for a 48hr delay to give a reasonable chance of finding one.

I think it would be a real shame if one of the competing nations had to be turned AI at this late stage.

48 hour delay it is.

It's not looking good as far as a sub goes. We may just have to AI TC and all of us face the consequences.

Yeah, can't see anyone taking up the sub offer for T'ien Ch'i now. I had a go at finding a sub, but as Homer Simpson would say "I tried and I failed, the moral is never try"

My vote now is to set T'ien Ch'i to AI. That has to be better than just letting them stale it out. They'll probably just be Demon Monkey food soon anyway.
