New MP Game - Random, Anonymous, No Diplomacy

Ok... as a good little host, I sent out emails to the players who did not make passwords for their pretenders.

Hopefully, we can start the game tonight or tomorrow.

I resent mine with a password. Thanks for the heads-up.

Yeah : Request for Dom-3 :Allow passwords to be added/changed during the game.

Excellent idea!

Also, it would be nice to be able to easily review the stats of various pretenders.

I'd say get a passworded pretender from everybody. If it's not too much trouble, Pasha could recreate the pretenders lacking a password with passwords of his own devising, thus saving us the wait.

I trust everyone implicitly, as this is only a game, with little value on victory or defeat. The problem is, if the players that don't have a password on their pretenders don't have this trust, they are more than likely going to ruin the game for everybody sooner or later, if things don't go their way. (It can't be my strategy that is at fault: it must be my enemy viewing my turns! Hence, I will quit.)

As an update:

I have received 3 replacement pretenders for those that had no password.

I am still waiting for King Lear to reply to my email and PM yesterday about needing a replacement pretender (because Dominions is rejecting it).

By the way, does it matter what I call the new map? It is necessary that all players name the modified map the same? If yes, what are we naming the map?

Yes, it does. You must call it "IloveAlneyan.map", or else it just won't work; trust me.

You can call the .map file anything you want, and the players won't need it; it is only used to create the game, so you can delete it once the game is underway (after a few turns have run). You do not need to alter the name of the .tga file either, and you shouldn't do so.
