BAG (Started!)

Beep bop boop bump.

Still good to go on Saturday. Still have opening for Patala. May have opening for new Pythium if someone can actually be ready to go with a new nation by that time.

And to clarify, this game will be taking place with version 3.10. It should have little immediate effect on most of you- though I'm hoping to see the new sites.

I'll be gone for the weekend (from 12th day to 15th). Any chance to delay the hosting while I'm gone?

I'm sorry for this, but I think that it wouldn't be any stop to starting the game, everyone can send in their first turn, the second turn would just be made a bit late..

Sigh, it seems this game will never get started...

Aristander · #4 October 11th, 2007, 09:33 AM

I will take Patala if it is still open.

Yessir. Patala->Open->Aristander->now closed.
Glad to have you onboard.

Burnsaber->Contemplating.
Could you give me some specific time? So, you won't be back on the fifteenth? I'd considered putting the first turn on a 50 hour timer as standard, but excluding you from the equation, I might stretch it a little further just because its such a large game and been such a big deal to organize. Including you in the equation, I'd need a specific, GMT time.

So, I'm undecided on the burnsaber request- but I'll think it over and post later tonight.

I'd be willing to play Pythium, but if Aristander was willing, I'd like to play Patala instead. I spent last night making sure my novel idea for them worked, and I'd really like to try it out in multi-player.

However, I'll play Pythium if he isn't willing to switch.

I should have researved the slot before I went to sleep. Hmph.

I'll probably be able to make my turn on Monday (15th day) morning. Forcehost at 12.00 GMT on Monday the 15th? Is that okay?

RE: Lord_Bob
Once this game gets going, I'll be reincarnating my Halls of Valhalla thread where I organize smaller 8 player games (much quicker to start, too). If you can't talk Aristander into switching, then I'll reserve Patala for a few days after I start recruiting. But that's then, not now, and you'll have to claim it when I resurrect the thread.

RE: Burnsaber
Short Answer: Yes. Doable. No problem. The first turn will host around 16:00 GMT Monday.
Long, Meandering Answer:

Well, its actually Llamabeast who will start the game- it depends on his internet access. I'll be administrating it, though. And my original plans call for it to start on Saturday. I'd be awake around 10:00 local time, back from work at five. So we'll round the planned start time to 16:00 GMT- though it depends as well upon the llama.

One of the typical schemes for multiplayer is setting the first turn to take 48 hours. So take 16:00 GMT on Saturday, add 48, and you get 16:00 GMT Monday. I don't know precisely when llama will start things, but I don't mind fudging things a bit since it is so close to my original plan. A Wednesday would be completely out of the question, but anytime Monday is no problem whatsoever.

RE: Dedas
We'll still be starting at our usual time. And our hosting schedule should be close to planned.

Lord Bob, I am happy to honor your request and switch to Pythium. Blood and Elephants? ?

No worries.
