MP: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game Over. Vets defeat Noobs.

[Septimius Severus]

Jachra, welcome back, as a returning alternate you and the vets will be choosing nations first.

P3D, your in as well, though I would caution about getting into too many games at once. (depends on the settings, slowpace games and long playing games are different). If your sure you'll be able to commit, then I'd like you in the starting roster, if not then as an alternate.

I'd like to refine the teams a bit if possible in keeping with the spirit (green noobs vs best of the best).

Illuminated one, would you mind taking an alternate slot and switch places with P3D?

Lingchih, can you refine your team (maybe get Zeldor in and ask one of less experienced vets to go to alternate)?

I guess it is a go then, 10 vs 5 on Orania (God help us! I hope I can place everyone properly).

Jachra and vets, please choose your nations if you've not already done so (1 water nation max).

The rest of the noobs after them.

I will pick last.

We will be using 1.41c (attachment on main post) unless QM has something else ready to go before pretender uploads.

Noobs and Vets check in and signup to your respective forums (links are on main post).

Actually the vet team looks pretty well-stacked, the only one I don't know is TheDemon, but everyone else I can say for sure is a very skilled player.

[namad]

thedemon plays on SA but hangs out in our IRC plenty....

so he is an unknown factor that is a veteran by some standards but unknown in our world

[Lingchih]

Zeldor knows he is first alternate. Other than that, we are ready to go. In fact, I just built a brand new Mysteria for the game tonite.

[Lingchih]

Kick it off Sept!

And keep the team posts to a minimum of victory reports on the teamvet forum. I just noticed that anyone can view it, though not post to it. So the security is pretty lax. We'll keep the top secret stuff to IRC.

Sept, don't you know we hate to lose? That last loss ripped everyone's heart out. I will not cripple this team. We are coming with all our might. We will not lose again. You guys want a lesson? The lesson is coming.

That said, Zeldor is still first alternate.

Okay, since it looks like all the noobs are selected and the game will be starting shortly, it's time to get you all signed up for the team noob forum. I'm going to change the way signingup will be handled as it just didn't really work last time.

This time around I will just have people register, they'll be automatically accepted by the forum. Then I'll have them pm me here with their name on the other forum, to make sure they're who they say they are, then I'll accept them into the Team Noob user group so they can see the strategic command forum. So please register before the game actually starts. If you do not you will miss out on the pre-game discussion stage, which is fairly important for team noob.

So to recap: 1) Register for the forum here. 2) On this forum, pm me with the username you chose for the other site. Preferably it will be the same username you are using here. 3) Wait for me to move you into the user group. I will tell you when this is done via a pm on this forum, unless you say you want to be notified in some other manner. 4) Tell me if for any reason something goes wrong, what went wrong, and how it went wrong and I will fix it as quickly as possible. I will then probably send you a pm telling you that it was fixed, or let you know in some other fashion.

If you played in the last noobs vs vets game and have an account on the other forum already you will not have to do any of that, as I have not deleted any users. So if you can't see the strategy forum by the end of tomorrow, give me a nudge and I'll fix that up for you.

Lingchih, it's completely possible to make it secure, there are other ways to do it than I have been doing it also, I'm just doing it the way I am because it's more security for less work for me. As long as you cannot see 4 forums on the team noob website, I can guarantee you it works. But if you're not that worried about it it's probably not a big deal . If you are interested though I am willing to help you get it working.

[atul]

Please (help) make the vet forum secure. The time zone separation between players is quite huge (I believe at least 10 hours between me and qm) so a forum could be useful.

Is that per team or total?
