LA game for new players game is still down

[hunt11]

I checked with Ich and that we are going to get a sub for the game called Calahan

[Calahan]

Hi Everyone

I'm the sub that's been found for Ulm.

Just sent a PM to Ich with regards the handover. Hope it takes place quickly so that the game can continue smoothly for everyone, and without any more delays.

It will be my first ever MP game, so looking forward to making both new friends and new enemies :-)

[Calahan]

Just received the server and password info from Ich. Logged on, and all seems to be working fine.

One problem though. I don't have an awake Pretender, and I don't know how to find out what my Pretneder is. (Besides the obvious option of waiting for him to wake up)

Is there a button or menu option I'm missing that can tell me this? Played quite a few SP games, but it never occured to me that there's no simple way to view your Pretender's stats.

Could always turn it into a kind of 'Blind Date' I suppose, and see who eventually turns up. But after 3 stale turns, I'm likely to be in enough trouble as it is.

Have PMed Ich to see if he can send me the Pretender file he was sent as, at least in theory, I should be able to load it up in a SP game, and find out exactly who I'm fighting for.

Welcome calahan! And thanks! Mictlan also welcomes your virgins, err, for sacrifice of course...

[Griefor]

You could try having your prophet bless himself, but that won't tell you everything.

I've run into this problem before myself, but was always able to fix it by just waking my pretender up in SP like you said. A view pretender stats button in the game would be nice.

[Calahan]

I have completed the long overdue 4th turn and the game has now hosted.

The soon-to-be-mighty nation of Ulm apologises to all the false Pretenders in the world for holding up the game, and asks that this matter isn't held against us in any future diplomatic relations.

And we also promise to do our best to keep better time in future :-)

You don't need to apologize. In fact your attendance makes the game more balanced. (much better than having an AI nation) We should thank you.

I will throw in and say that if anyone rushes Ulm early after they've staled the first few turns I'll be extremely hostile to them. Not very fair to capitalize on our new/weak player. On the other hand once things are into the midgame they're fair hunting.
