Titan's Task - running 24hr qh - Page 2

Abyssia for me.

Truper, along with the Artifacts game, has convinced me that when a game moves beyond a 24hr qh timeframe I rapidly lose interest regardless of my position. To avoid that happening here, this game will run strictly 24hr qh from start to finish. I believe that the victory conditions are still achievable under this new time restriction, but if people dont feel they can play thier end-game effectively under this time limit I will completely understand.

Edit: of course exceptions will still be made for people who need to go away for a weekend and the like. but when the game is running under time it will always be 24hr qh.

Ok, we have a full 10 players. Arch & Peace I put you guys on the waitlist in case anyone else withdraws due to my new condition.

And with regard to the various questions about what pretenders are valid. First off, only size 6 pretenders are valid - you cannot take a Cyclops or any of the smaller pretenders who have wings and are thus size 5. As for the Great Mother: I almost ruled her out since she has regen and I fear that people will all just flock to her as an SC chasis. But as arch pointed out to not allow her would restrict some nations too severely in terms of pretender choices. Lastly, yes the Nata and Void Lord qualify for this game.

meh - Inland's huge - it can easily handle more than 10

Its only 150 provs. The 10 player limit was in order to give each nation a little breathing room before the first set of wars. Make it so that the first battle was not also the last.

i should probably step down for this game, actually. i just realized that i'm going away for 10 days, and already have 3 games on the go. i will be finding a replacement for those games while i'm gone, but it doesn't make sense to start a new game.

so arch or pk get the spot, i guess. whoever signed up first.

oh, and just to be clear, giant stone monoliths - are they considered bipedal?

Only saw this today. I'm sorry but I'll have to step down from this one. While the time limit is ok for the start game, for the mid and end game it is much to tight for me.

yah - i think ironhawk might not understand how things get - now, w/ this game, as it has reasonable victory conditions, its doable - though that's not the same as reasonable

Ironhawk · #10 February 13th, 2006, 05:44 PM

Oh, I know exactly how things get. You arent talking to a rank noob here arch.

Sorry the timelimit is too much for you Wraith - I'll put Peace into your slot.
