I just finished adding starts to the GreeceStain map. Lots of colors, wraparound, and the convoluted nature of correspondence between real countries and the map's analogs WILL ensure that I do not remember who's who.

Er, how do I post the .map file to llamaserver so that it will use it? This is the last step. After this, I will make a game on llamaserver and people can start posting pretenders. How about we start on Saturday? Can everyone manage that?

From what I recall of Llamaserver, assuming the image file for the map is already on the server you can upload the modified .map file either when you create the game or before hand through the same create game link (without having to actually create the game). It is important that the .map file point to the exact filename of the image file as currently exists on the server, if not you'll be prompted to upload another copy of the image file as well. The image file cannot have any spaces in the filename, whilst I believe the .map file can. You may wish to post a snapshot of the map image or link to it for player reference on the opening post, but of course you will not want to link to the modified .map in any event.

Ok, perhaps we should wait until sometime in the next week to open the game? Whatever you guys need is what we'll do.

[Sir_Dr_D]

Yes that delay will help. I have to communicate with players from another time zone, so it will take a bit longer to plan everything out.

And Where is this GreeceStain map. I haven't been able to find it. I would like to practice with it.

Hmmm, I haven't heard anything from Morpf, and it looks like his last activity was the post he made to joint this game almost a week ago. Dunno if we want to give him more time with the holidays or what...

[LumenPlacidum]

Greece Stain is available here: http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/showt...t=greece+stain

There will be fixed starts so that everyone starts adjacent to at least one other teammate.

If Morpf doesn't contact you by Saturday, I'll see whether AmonChakad wants his position. If that happens, then you should let me know how much prep time you need to make sure that your team is up to speed.

[Amonchakad]

Yeah, I'd still be interested in the game(if Morpf doesn't show up, obviously), so I'll stand by.

Either that or you'd have to use pretender names that you've not used in past games and/or that are not related to your online persona or that can be otherwise guessed at.

It's doable, but standardizing probably makes sense. I generally avoid strict RAND games because I like some say in what nation I will play, but in a team game like this you have some room to work within your team's available nations.

I'm back. I haven't been online the last few day, sorry about that. It will not happen during the game. I wrote Baalz an email

No worries, holidays have everybody out of their usual routines.
