Default Re: Looking for players...

I prefer small maps, too :-) Especially with a relative low number of Victory Points required to win, as to avoid the long "XXX has already won, but the victory is still 50 rounds off". I much prefer "What!! You sneaky bastard! You won!" :-D

I do see a number of these games on my server, though they tend to be over quickly. Right now, WarsOfGaia is one such game... 8 players on the urgaia map.

Semiblitz is now supported on my server, BTW, so that could be used to host the games if you prefer. It's up and running anyway.

Question 1:

Mr. Mose Hansen: What is this server you mention, and where can one find it to host? I see your name mentioned elsewhere, but am unfamiliar with how to go about this hosting business (on your server???).

Question 2:
I am also interested in both smaller maps and smaller games, also with victory conditions open to more subtle means of victory, such as those Mr. Hansen outlined above. However, I dislike "blitz" games, due to my bizarre time constraints etc.
Would anybody be interested in playing smallerish, but perhaps not quite so fastish games with me? If so, could you perhaps include me in your thoughts when generating such games and/or contacting possible participants? I promise to be much less verbose. My Email is bigboote@gmx.net

Question 1: My server can be found here:
https://www.mosehansen.dk/cgi-bin/dom2.pl

The server is under more or less permanent reconstruction. Currently, this means that you have to find a link on the page to a "new server", and use that. Also, your browser will complain about the certificate. Ignore this for now, I will fix it some day.

To participate in a game, use the IP address dom2.mosehansen.dk, and the port listed for the game in question.

There is a looong thread about this server under the title "New and raw something something"
