MP Game - Live and Learn (newbie game)-running

[Thufir]

I take it Abysia did a number on you, eh?

You could say

The rest of us were impressed with your courage though.

I might have used the word "foolhardiness" rather than "courage" (but thanks for not )

It's a long story, but my starting position was pretty jammed between Abysia and Atlantis, and I thought time was against me, hence the early assault. I'm still not sure - but I was thinking that even a veteran playing to win might have made the same choice I did. One thing is for sure though, 10 players is too many for the Karan map.

i'll take jotunheim... I've played about 5 mp games, nothing but swift thrashings so far though.

Having only experienced swift thrashings definitely qualifies you for this game!!!

We're already up to six, so we should be able to get this started tomorrow. Here's our current positions:

bleach168 - Abysia
FM_Surrigon - Machaka
J Henry Waugh - Arcosephale
Thufir - Pythium
Cheezeninja - Jotunheim
Yvelina - Vanheim

Is there any room for another? I'd like to get in, perhaps as C'tis. I've played one MP game, all newbies, and I was the second one eliminated. Urgh. I'll be out of town next weekend, though. Is there any chance of changing to 48 hour quickhost?

Sure - no problem!

FWIW, you did better in your first game than I seem to be doing in mine

Well, not as a general rule, at least for the first 30+ turns it'd be good to stick to 25h QH. For next weekend, we can make an exception if we need to, but the best thing would be if you could find someone to play for you. As I understand it, turns take quite a long time later in the game, but it's unlikely we'll be that far along by next weekend.

Nonetheless, we should be able to run a bunch of the "easy" turns this weekend so hopefully we'll be well along into the game by next weekend.

Alright, I'm in as C'tis. Should be fun - I'm going to try not to make the same mistakes I made Last time

Whoops! I forgot to put a password on my Pretender. Can you please kick me, and I'll re-upload. Sorry.

What has happened to Arco (J Henry)? It looks like he had a stale turn Wednesday, then took a turn Thursday, and now it looks like he might go stale again. J, are you having connection problems again?

[J Henry Waugh]

Having difficulty getting into game again ... stuck at "Waiting for game info" message... ...tried 3 times in a row to no avail...

[Schmoe]

Thufir, where are you?

Looks like you went stale Last night, and may do so again tonight. Does anyone know where he's gone?

Also, does anyone want to switch this game to 48 hour QH? As the game gets farther along, it's getting harder to find the time to dedicate to completing a turn.
