Default Retold - CBM (Dom3minions blitz game), started

Just thought I would see if there were three other people here interested in a small game before starting one up.

Thinking CBM variety, of course.

(edit)

And we're off. Good luck to everyone.

I'm interested, but relatively inexperienced. Is this for veterans only?

I'm interested, at least if it's fairly standard settings.
And I should probably mention that I'm very new to the game.

New is fine. I've just found that if you try to start a game on the dom3 server without warning people, you get people who start the game with only two people, or games that languish for weeks before someone starts it and then no one but the last person is paying attention and stale several times.

So yeah. Let's start it up, a CBM blitz game, "cbm_retold", this is port 9269 on the games.dom3minions.com server. For those of you mentioning you're new, that means you'll need to have the CBM mod installed (and ACTIVE!).

Though we don't really need to insist on it, in the interest of balance I would ask that no one pick Ashdod.

Remember, don't "start the game" until there's four people in it! Check http://game.dom3minions.com/bin/cbm_chk.cgi and see before you hit that button.

Since we're just using one of Gandalf's default games, we'll be just using whatever he has set for default settings (presumably he didn't change anything). Also, that means there's no control on who comes into the game, so if you want to play it get your pretender in fairly quickly.

It's up now, head on over.

Actually one of the advantages of direct connect is that you dont have to have the mod active. If you turn off all your mods, and connect to the game, it will turn on any mods it needs or tell you if you are missing it or have the wrong version.

It also turns the mods off after you disconnect so you dont have to keep turning mods on and off for each game you are in. The server does it for you

Still two spots left if the guys who mentioned they wanted in above want to grab em. Otherwise, first come first serve.

I'm sorry I didn't understood that you're looking for a blitz game. I can only play by e-mail ...
