That's a totally unrelated issue. Storm is just endlessly harping about the fact that I entered another one of his games under an alias, and there's an entire piss-and-moanfest attached to the entire matter that I'm not interested in recounting. The short Version is that he likes to call this "cheating", even though it has nothing to do with actual cheats.

Suffice it to say that we've mutually Banned each other from any games we start.

Ah right, ok. Well hm, odd. I couldn't really imagine you cheating (in a more direct sense of "cheating"). Since you are such an obvious veteran, I can imagine that entering a game under an alias would actually make sense, even if this does give you an "advantage" (since otherwise people will probably be like: "Watch out for Norfleet!"), because you must get sick and tired of being ganged up upon. (No one is ever frightened of me -- kind of nice, actually!)

Yes, I was very serious. Don't pay attention to what Norf wrote below, it is total nonsense. Entering the game under alias has nothing to do with his cheating. For the details on this whole ugly issue you may search the forums, there were several huge threads related to it not too long ago. However this thread is not a place for discussing it. Suffice to say that we "didn't ban each other" of course. The Norfeet is Banned by at least three forum regulars, who orginize MP games here, from all future games as the result of his cheating.

Any future discussion of this topic will have to take place somewhere else. This thread is for the recruitment of new players for Throne of Heavens game and for nothing else. Thank you.


Regards,
Stormbinder

Hi Catquiet. Haven't seen you for a long time.


You are welcome to join the game of course. However I would like to ask you to choose 2nd race in addition to Caelum, if you don't mind. If we will play Zen's Cradle map, the Caelum may be prohibited from because on the original Dominion Cradle it had very large advantage over all other races due to the unque nature of Cradle map.

Now Zen has made a lot of modifications to the origianl Cradle, and the jury is still out on it, as I said in my first post. You can check this thread for details if you like - http://www.shrapnelgames.com/cgi-bin...&f=74&t=003247 I am still waiting to hear more opinions from Zen's Cradle players about that map, after I've posted my questions on that game thread.

I am not saying that Caelum will certanly be baned if we will play Zen's Cradle. We shall see what the public feedback will be on that map. But just in case, I would recomend you to choose 2nd race, if Caelum will not be avalaible.

Regards,
Stormbinder

All right, here is the current list of the nations and players:


Pangeya (Qunatum)
Abyssia (Cohen)
Marignon (Major)
Machaka (Zapmesiter)
Caelum(?) (Catquiet)

Currently we have 7 players. Few more and we wll have enough for Zen's Cradle of Dominion map.
