newbtopia- ea game for new players(started)

[Carkaton]

Ok we are full, vote is 4(including myself) to 2 in favor of free for all. Start working on your pretenders, and as soon as I can find out from llama on how to proceed we can get them uploaded.

Also, moderation, I apologize for not waiting the 15 minutes on posting this thread to see that you had indeed planned on organizing the game. If you start a game specifically to be a team game i'd love to join.

[moderation]

@Carkaton: No problem, I'm actually thinking of setting up a CBM team game later this week, but I'll see how busy I am with this game first.

Okay guys, the game is ready to accept pretenders. Here's how to upload them:
Firstly, you should only join a game if you've found there's a thread for it on this board, you've read it, and they're still looking for players. Then you should post on the thread saying what nation you'll be. To actually join the game:

- Make sure you have the same mods enabled as the game you're playing in (Preferences->Mod Preferences) although only mods affecting pretender design, such as Conceptual Balance, actually matter
- Go to Game Tools -> Create a pretender god in Dominions. Don't set a password, since for PBEM games they're not helpful and occasionally annoying (e.g. if you need a sub)
- Go to the savedgames/newlords folder in the dominions directory, and find your pretender file (e.g. mid_pythium_0.2h)
- E-mail the file to: pretenders[ at ]llamaserver[ dot ]net
- Crucially, you must have the game name 'Newbtopia' in the subject line of your e-mail

A few minutes later you should get a confirmation e-mail, and if you check the website (www.llamaserver.net ) you should find your nation added to the list of nations which have joined the game.

If later you think of an improvement to your pretender, you can send it in again. Provided the game hasn't actually started the server will accept your revised pretender, and send you an e-mail to say so.

Hoplosternum - I love diplomacy! I would say: Diplomacy - more fun than you expect! I highly recommend sending messages in character and doing some on-forum roleplaying, it adds a lot to the game.

What Time zone are we using?

Llamaserver's time is GMT I believe. It doesn't much matter though, new turns start as soon as the last turn file is sent in, or if the time elapses.

Is there any way to check or edit the pretenders you've created? I can't seem to do it without actually starting a new game.

Well game on then by the looks of it. Well as soon as llamabeast spots the fact all pretenders are up. Good luck to everyone and hope everyone wins their first fight v the indies. Sucks if you lose that one.
That'll be it for me in terms of posting out of character. From now on everything will be done in character and will be spoken as the voice of the god of arcoscephale.
Although since they are layabout, lazy philosopher types no doubt many of them will jump up and try to drown out my voice.

Bump for llamabeast! Just saw him post in another thread.
