Hmm. It seems like our noble benefactor has dropped out of the other Chronicles game and another MP game he was involved in Looks like we might have to take it upon ourselves to get this thing organised.

Weeell, I guess the first thing to do (assuming you are in fact gone, Lokean, if not please step in and pimp slap me down for getting up in your grill) might be to finalize the map we're playing. Orania, our original suggestion, could easily accomodate the.. 15? players who're interested except for the fact that R'leyh and Atlantis would have 20 water provinces between them which might be a pain for a hopefully slower paced roleplay game (or maybe they will like the tension it could bring *shrugs*). If your serious about playing Oceania Tifone then maybe we should find a decent underwater map Awakening seems aboot right in province count, despite being a bit plain. Other than that Glory of the Gods or Edi's Faerun map are the only ones I know of that might fit. Anyone else know any decent maps of the right size?

Also, an updated player list since I guess Lok won't be able to update the one at the start of the thread. Anyone not in the list who wants to be or anyone who no longer wants to play?

Arco ------------------ Radiogibbon
Ermor ----------------- MaxWilson
Mictlan --------------- Qio
Abysia ---------------- Soyweiser
C'tis ----------------- NKIan
Pangaea --------------- GP
Agartha --------------- Ruminant
R'lyeh ---------------- Incabulos
Kailsa/Oceania? ------- Tifone
Lanka ----------------- Wrana
Marveni --------------- Vanslime
Helheim --------------- Baalz
Atlantis -------------- Darkwind
Ulm ------------------- Jybalbyle
Sauromantia ----------- Mithras

Edit: Man my BB code skills suck.

Yep, I was about to post that Lokean was unable to continue too

I would be more than glad to be Oceania if we find a map were we can have some good underwater skirmishes But if necessary I can also switch to Kailasa without problems, really, a good map for everyone is more important than my nation

Before we start, I'd recommend everyone to check himself if he really wants to play the game , really, being a game so fond on stories it's hard to replace a player, we lost Ylvali in the MA one and that's not good

[NKIcan]

Im willing to story it up...but I WOULD like to start this lol. Its been how long?

[RadioGibbon]

The special provinces on the Faerun adventure variant might make for some RP inspiration. 69 Sea provinces as well.

[Mithras]

Been looking forward to this, and I finally have the time, count me in again. Oh and whatever map every else likes

[Vanslime]

I'll see this through to the end.

[Jybalbyle]

Yep. Count me in still. I'm playing on a Faerun map in the doedicurus game. Good theme, lots of provinces.

[Baalz]

Faerun could be a lot of fun, it's got my vote.

[Tifone]

If it's ok for you it's ok for mou

[Ruminant]

Faerun does sound like the optimal choice; epic in scope and easy on the eyes to boot. The question is do we run the adventure version or just the regular? For those who've never tried the map the adventure version means that certain provinces on the map (major cities, sites of power, etc) have special defenders, like the dwarves of Mithril Hall or the undead and demons of Hellgate Keep, some of whom can be quite tough to beat).

While this would really unbalance a normal MP game (some defenders have quite significant magical items you can aquire, some people might start out with a province connected to their initial castle that they won't be able to take for a year or two and I can't quite recall but I seem to remember something about Edi placing special sites in some of the defended provinces? *shrugs*) I can only see it adding flavour and fun to our game. My vote would be for the adventure version but I can certainly understand if people would rather play vanilla.
