Zeldor, Please roll nations
Results should go to the games admin - rdonj

All players listed as email sent?- no, please start sending your emails.
Please also note that once we confirm that last spot I want to give everyone a week to play with nation builds. Then we start the game.

I prefer 11.

Nigel Tufnel: The numbers all go to eleven. Look, right across the board, eleven, eleven, eleven and...
Marty DiBergi: Oh, I see. And most amps go up to ten?
Nigel Tufnel: Exactly.
Marty DiBergi: Does that mean it's louder? Is it any louder?
Nigel Tufnel: Well, it's one louder, isn't it? It's not ten. You see, most blokes, you know, will be playing at ten. You're on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you're on ten on your guitar. Where can you go from there? Where?
Marty DiBergi: I don't know.
Nigel Tufnel: Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do?
Marty DiBergi: Put it up to eleven.
Nigel Tufnel: Eleven. Exactly. One louder.
Marty DiBergi: Why don't you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder?
Nigel Tufnel: [pause] These go to eleven.

Very well. Let's do a vote on VPs. Options are 9,10 or 11. Deadline tomorrow evening 21:00 GMT.

So far:
9: 1
10: 2
11: 2

One more thing. Your emails are not needed for creating the game. They can be used by rdonj to prevent spoofing. I recall this happening in the past so better be safe then lose a spot to someone who interjects a .2h file and overrides yours.

EDIT: I'm not sure about the mechanics of ULing pretenders to server but I do recall some issues in this area with players not even from this forum sending pretenders. Maybe I'm just being paranoiac

Hey guys, it's me. Just letting you know, even if I'm not talking I'm watching this thread pretty close. And yes, sending me all your emails will be very helpful for speeding things up down the line if subs become necessary. But it won't really do much to help with people who sneak their nations in before you. Just be careful and if you think that your pretender may not have gotten through and your slot appears taken, notify me and I will delete the nation's pretender so you can try again.

Not being too paranoid WL, I've seen that happen in a number of games now. Might be happening less now though.

[Maerlande]

Don't count my comment Wraithlord. I was just making a joke

[Zeldor]

Ok, nations are rolled and sent to rdonj.

[WraithLord]

rdonj, I've some of the player's emails already. I'll send you what I have.

[rdonj]

Okay, so currently there are 23 players signed up and rolled for. If the game gets another player I know which nation they are getting. I will start letting people know their nations a few hours from now.

No problems guys, I'm only too happy to help where I can Just hope I've done a good enough job of it.

Best thing about Early Era for me is that Zeldor can't give me bloody Man again like he did when rolling nations for YARG1 and Forge of Godhood

(***Smile immediately wiped as I don't even need rdonj to contact me to already know Zeldor has given me someone like Agartha )


@ WraithL - I vote for 10 VP's.

@ rdonj - Many thanks once again for offering to admin the game. Wouldn't be possible without your kind help and assistance. And I look forward to bombarding you endlessly with PM's whenever I spot a staler

@ Zeldor - Thanks for rolling the nations once again.

Glad to be back WingedDog and certainly happy to see you still around my friend. Along with all the other usual forum suspects. Now if my real life could just stop interfering with my real life, everything would be absolutely fantastic!


Edit: Damn, I passed the 1,000 posts mark without even noticing. I had a big party planned for it and everything Wonder if I get a telegram off shrapnel or something for achieving this milestone?
