So you're telling me I roused all those old t'ien ch'i mages from their homes to go knock on ermor's door for nothing? It's a darned shame, that. And I was sure he'd have some suitably nasty surprise waiting for me.

I'm going to lock all our threads for the noob forum and make them open to public viewing. Let you all see just how nooblike our team really was I'm going to abstain from the next game, I don't think I'm quite enough of a noob to be proper for this sort of game. I will stay on as admin of the noob forum though and may still end up advising them, but not quite as much as I did this game!

Okay, creation of new forum done and all threads moved over. I will also be removing all access privileges (except for septimius) to the discussion forum so that only the new batch of noobs (and myself) will be able to see it. So by the time you see this you should not be able to access our planning forum anymore.

I'll force host the last turn when I can before shutting the game down so that those who sent in a turn will have the opportunity to see the results of their efforts.

Is this really going to happen? It looks to me like the game went away already. *sniff* I'll never get to see that final battle of Askuth -vs- Mysteria. Askuth probably won anyway right Lingchih?

Overall this game was great fun. Thanks everyone!

I don't know about anyone else... I received the final turn for me sometime after receiving the message that the game was ending. Not quite sure how that happened, but it did. Unfortunately your area of the island was too well-patrolled for my spies to live very long and I did not see that battle to send you a turn file.

Oh, I wasn't going to send Mysteria against that beast again. I was going to use sacred Black Centaurs to kill it.

I wonder what you guys think of this idea, posted on the victorious nations thread:

"I'm considering running my Noobs vs Vets series on a regular basis, game 1 focusing on battle tactics, formations, short term strategy and game 2 focusing on longer term strategic planning, magic, and development. This is intended to be something of a public service boot camp curriculum for noobs, vets pitching in to train, teach fresh green noobs the game. Winning or losing for the vets is not the main goal.

Would it be possible to come to some sort of an agreement, as an inducement(or rather reward) to get more Hall of Famer's and expert vets to join, to credit them or count it as a 1/2 victory for HOF ranking purposes, irregardless of whether they win or lose?

It would be a noble thing to do. Just an idea."

Noobs could take both "courses" twice if they wished, or once if they want to. Of course it would depend on the supply of fresh green noobs in the MP Dominions arena (hopefully something that is not diminishing too much) .
