No Diplo EA Game - No Wankers Allowed - Game Over, Baalz/Abysia Wins

[Fantomen]

@Grudgebringer: My common sense tells me It will appear on llamaserver when map and mods are prepared.

Ok folks, I've had a PM from a very kind player who has volunteered to swap his or her sturdy walking boots for a pair of flippers, and in doing so solve the slight issue we had regarding the lone water nation. My thanks certainly goes out to him or her for the help and sacrifice they're making for the good of the game

I will post the final nation list as soon as I get a spare moment to check it's correct (pretty busy right now). I will also be clarifying many of the game rules as well so that it's nice and clear what is expected of you all as players.

------------------------

@ Grudge - Pretenders will be sent straight to the llamaserver as per any other game. There's no point now trying to do fancy tricks like sending them to me just to hide the nation list. As with 19 players, almost every nation is in the game anyway, so little point trying to hide the obvious.

I'm guessing the map choice will come down to either Asia Twist or Alexander. Asia Twist seems perfect, but the starts will need sorting (as the pre-sets are only for 16 land nations, and we have 17)

Ok everyone, the game is up on the llamaserver, so you can start sending in those Pretenders.

The final map decision isn't clear yet though, as someone needs to arrange the start locations, and right now everyone seems fairly busy. So we're not 100% sure of what to do regarding this yet. (although if there's any expert map editors out there reading this who fancy helping, then please don't be shy )

There might also be another player joining after expressing interest on IRC. I will let you all know if this player is joining as soon as I know myself.

And all of you interested in playing this game, please don't say "pretender sent" or, "uh, sorry I'll send it now" and crap like that.

Yes, good point Executor.

Please can everyone turn on their common senses, and do not post any comment at all about your Pretenders or when/if you are sending it, sent it, having it in soon, still designing etc etc. As anything along these lines is likely to give away clues with regards your nation ID.

Also don't post things such as "just 5 Pretenders to go", as this either implies you have already sent your Pretender in, or you are trying to play games and mislead others into thinking you have. I want all the game playing done in-game, and not out-of-game.

What's the sitch on banned spells ? Do we indeed ban Astral Corruption, Arcane Nexus and the Forge ?

[Executor]

I think it's a good way to go, and I think BoT should be included.
All those globals give too much power to one single nation which without diplomacy (global dispel, or attack) might just hand over the victory to the player that cast it/them with little or no effort.

But if guys want the spells in I guess we could keep them.

[Fantomen]

I'm positive to banning them.

[Ragnars Wolves]

Would you be banning them because of their power or becaue of the no diplomacy (or both)?
