MP: GotM: Gardens of the Moon, Game Over: WL wins.

Ahmm I think there's something we may need to pay attention to.

So, the game I created uses EDM 1.1, however when choosing it the server shows the following text:
"Version 1.04

End Game Diversity mod 1.1 (.dm file incorrectly still lists it as 1.04)
"

Now, I assume initial release of 1.1 had this error, but I think it was fixed. I'm not sure whether players that created their pretender with the fixed version (1.1) would be able to play.
I think that even should they get the missing mod error the fix would be simple enough:
Edit diversity.dm, change line from
#version 1.1
to:
#version 1.04

I have little experience with MP games mod ver. mismatches issues. I can only hope things would work smoothly (or ask everyone to make that change to diversity.dm *before* they create the pretender).

I know nothing about the mod thing, but on the tardy pretenders thing maybe we should send a private message to those who haven't sent any in and see if that wakes them up.

If it takes them a week to get a pretender in you have to wonder what they will be like in the midgame...

I believe only CBM affect the pretender design so even having wrong versions of the EDM shouldn't be a problem.

Don't take my word for it doe...

@Wraith Lord : when do you plan to start the game ? I think it would be a good idea to give a schedule date if you want to avoid unreasonable gestation delays

As far as I am concerned, never played Pythium before ; I have a (hopefully) suitable pretender but I will not disregard 2-3 more days for tuning. Anyway, I can send the existing one fast if needed.

The guy who asked for Pangaea and hasn't gotten his god in was the one who disappeared without a word as Midgard in the Gluttony game. Given his history and the fact he has been slow here already, perhaps we might want a replacement 16th person (or go without him).

Slow down Tryfan (and don't stay near the chimney all day, we're only in october^^)

It was written that there would be a week to prepare a pretender, maybe some people haven't finished testing theirs yet (plus the game is supposed to start on wednesday anyway, so nobody is late so far)

And maybe thats all there is to it... but when someone known for dropping a game doesn't seem to be reacting to a new one, you can't help but wonder.

You don't want inactives right off the bat, right?

Guys, I did state that players would be given a week to prepare pretenders. That week ends tomorrow so we aim to start the game tomorrow.

re. slow players - I don't have a problem with that but I do have a problem with staling players. Too many stales w/o explanation or asking for delays just plain sucks so please try to avoid that.
Let's cross the bridge when we get there though. We're not deleting any players from the list b/c we do or don't suspect they'll stale or go AWOL.

Players so far: 12
Ermor
Vanheim
Ulm
R'lyeh

Remaining 4 players please send your pretenders by tomorrow. Let's get this game rolling. Thanks!

Last player to UL pretender. Please do so ASAP. We'd like to start the game today. Thanks.
