EpikBattel - Started

I don't think you've missed anything--I've been checking and it appears that Arcoscephale (ah that delicious unpronouncable name!) only just joined within the past few hours, bringing us to 12 nations. So I guess we can start soon... but I don't think anybody has fired the starting gun yet. Whatever that means.

Do we have the map ready with start locations? Or do we wait for patch 3.12?

Oh whoops, I've been ill and this game had slipped off my radar. I'll try to sort it out later today, but I don't know if I'll have a chance. I think Dr P didn't notice that we asked if he could sort the map out, so I suppose I'd better do it. Not too big a job.

Are teammates meant to be adjacent or opposite?

FrozenFalcon · #4 December 11th, 2007, 11:11 AM

Adjacent (As you see water nations pairing with land nations; this is the whole point of needing 2 water nations, so we can have 6 teams and each starting adjacent to their teammate).

llamabeast · #5 December 11th, 2007, 02:28 PM

Okay, adjacent it is.

Sorry guys, I really won't be able to start this today. It'll be tomorrow night now. Apologies for the delay.

Yeah, my apologies. I was awaiting the confirmation that Dr. P had switched the teams over. Then I realized, after looking at llamaserver, that everyone was waiting on me, so I quickly made my God.

Damn it, seems that I have forgotten my password. I found a thread about it; it is not retrievable, but master password can open the turn. How does it work? Does the game have a master password? Of course, this could be restarted because we are still at turn one.

I am very sorry people, I thought that I had picked a password that I can remember but apparently not.

You'll all notice I started the game twice - please use the second one. The first I started by accident with indies 8, which I thought was important enough to be worth a restart (since you would all have designed pretenders for indies 5).

FrozenFalcon - I'll send you the master password. It's not so dodgy to do so with a PBEM game since you can't peek at each other's turns anyway.

Everyone - FrozenFalcon will be the admin for this game, so if you want e.g. a turn postponing, please contact him.

Thanks, llamabeast.

One more thing: as opposed of what I thought, there seems to be 2 victory provinces (this is due to server setting; I'm not sure if it is Llamabeast's decicion or not). This propably won't be a problem since they seem to be at equal distance from all players; this will only mean that the game will go on shorter time. But still, because of one VP per year, I think the game is going to last for a while.

It's good to be getting started, though.

For the map, I've just renamed worldofgeometry.tga as worldofgeometry2.tga. I presume that's the correct thing to do.
