RAND2 - full, everyone send me an email - Page 8

I like the host emails.

Cainehill · #72 March 19th, 2006, 12:27 PM

Um - better to have no messages, as per the original game. Yes, you think it might be fun, but #1, people can tell who someone is by the way they say "go to hell, etc", and #2, first it's "go to hell", then it's other things.

Finally, as it said from day one in the first message about the nature of the game : "2. No diplomacy of any kind. No in-game messages. No transferring of artifacts or gems or gold to any player. No external email allowed. I know this last item is impossible to truly enforce, so we would have to rely on the honor system here."

I agree, no in-game messages at all, as originally stated.

The_Tauren13 · #74 March 19th, 2006, 01:34 PM

Absolutely NO in-game messages.
Hosting emails are VERY usefull for PBEM players like me.
I dislike playing TCP/IP without them.

Yup, no in-game messages period. No out-of-game messages, either, if they have anything to do with the game itself.
This game should feel just like single-player, except with thinking opponents and the pleasure of knowing that when you're ________ing someone's _________, there's actually someone squirming on the other end of the line.

Castigated, I'll take you off the list. If anyone else doesn't want to receive notifications, just let me know.

Cheers!

Eh? I haven't noticed you playing Ermor any more than is usual... I for one will never get used to the change unless you start

Sorry, but I'm attempting to lead Pythium to the same horrible fate that Ermor had suffered (both in dominions lore and in the last RAND)

Won't we all see what nation Wraithlord is playing if the hosting time is extended? I mean, wouldn't the last to play be him? That's why such requests oughta be relayed via Alneyan or some other kind-hearted fool

Only, that wouldn't do any good if there are any other games that the cause for extension is in. And, if there are none deductions can be made from that... Sheesh, I'm going to get a headache if I think this trough...

Anyway, one option to avoid the possible problem would be taking the server down for 24 hours at some point. That's probably too much, though. (Of course, if I should happen to find out what nation Izaqyos is, I doubt I can resist the temptation!)

Indeed, thinking about it, won't posting to this thread make it possible to correlate nations and people? I mean, if one assumes that you will take your turn and post to the forum at nearly the same time, you could in theory observe a co-incidence of such events and draw conclusions.
...

I comletely agree. My bad!
In the future I will email our generous host or send him a PM.

the only thing about this game that bothers me at all is the fact that i can't really ask questions about it. or i have to be really careful who i ask, because the questions could give away who i am.

otherwise, i'm having fun

The Panther · #78 March 20th, 2006, 11:51 PM

Feel free to ask an interested observer (like me) questions. You do have to be a bit careful because I will occasionally sub for players when requested.

Peacekeeper · #79 March 21st, 2006, 12:52 AM

a lot of people who are usually in the irc arnt playing in this game

castigated · #80 March 21st, 2006, 01:01 AM

i finally found mork in the irc. whenever i went into the irc, no one was ever there. i actually logged in once the other day, and only the ChanServ was there.

the next day, i went it, and it was just ChanServ and folket, and folket was afk.

i did find mork, though, so i was able to confer with him. nothing too exciting, just something i was curious about.
