Opossum - Started

[Zylithan]

make a folder in SAVEDGAMES.. call it something like oppossum.

put the .trn in the oppossum folder in the savedgames folder.

open dom3, play existing game, oppossum.
once your turn is done, there is a .2h in the oppossum folder.. send it to turns@llamaserver.net i think.

Cool, yeah sorry I forgot to post my little guid to actually playing the game.

Just waiting on C'tis for the first turn.

I'm sorry, but I'm moving into a new apartment this weekend and won't have an internet connection available to me until Tuesday the 9th. Could we have another intermission until that time?

turn 2 is up.. i dont know if you're still around potatoman, but if you are, go for it.

i'm fine to wait. i mean, i'd rather play 30 turns tonight but if i need a delay I'd like to have one, so I'm fine granting that to others.

Postponed. I's just waiting for you Potatoman, so just play it whenever you get back online.

Good luck with the move!

Alright guys, tips for a fun game (taken from a post of mine on the Mongoose thread):

- Engage in lots of diplomacy. It's fun. Send messages to your neighbours, preferably in the character of your nation. Make threats, deals and alliances. One thing though - if you actually agree to a deal (such as peace for n turns, or exchanging items), do stick to it, otherwise you are likely to upset other players and make the game unfun.
- Post in-character stuff on this thread. See Tuidjy's posts on the "Neo Xekinima" thread for an excellent example of this. I really enjoy reading that thread.

People always say the most fun games are the ones with lots of messages flying around and posts on the forum. Silent games are fun too, but miss out on one cool element of multiplayer play - they're a bit more like single player versus very competent AIs.
