In a normal game usually rlyeh and ermor is kept somewhat in check due to people teaming up against them, since this is not the case these two nations might be overpowered (also I am against a lone water nation being able to goble up all the water without anyone able to stop him). Anyway, its not a big deal but I thought I would mention this.

Agartha you shall have. The way the map is, it works out to a bit more than 20 provinces per player, there are only 20 water provinces, I was considering giving the Vets a water nation too, but I thought that a noob might easily and quickly be defeated that way (it only be ten provinces per water nation). I don't think it will be an issue. Remember too, I know nothing about playing Rlyeh, I'm sure vets can win with any nation they choose.

Lumen, please post on the other forum with your unique password so I can move you to the group that can see the hidden forum.

I'm going to change the forum to automatically accept new applications, since the way I've been doing it seems to have confused everyone but me. For future reference: Register, then post in the guest forum with your unique password. I will then allow you to see the other forum as soon as I check my email. Thank you.

And I can see how ermor wouldn't be as big a deal as normal here... at least in a way. Because your allies would undoubtedly not be very happy to have a strong ermor destroying the landscape. Well, unless they had a strategy planned around it. If you want to play ermor I probably don't personally have a problem with it.

Edit: Okay, automatic activation is done. So feel free to register whenever.

I would like to make one statement in the defense of Ermor. Ermor's greatest strength is in playing opposing players off against one another. Most players don't want to invade Ermor, so they sit idly by while Ermor swallows up their weaker neighbors. Ermor survives by making alliances to secure their borders, then praying on non-allied players. I know this because I almost won with them in the BAG last year, only losing because the other three players joined forces against me. While Ermor is often hindered by being in fixed alliances, meaning it has to hold back its dominion and be careful how it opperates, it is also weak in the face of allied groups, because they present a force that can exploit all of Ermor's weaknesses while protecting their own.
I just like to play Ermor, I enjoy them. Not because they are a powerhouse, as they have been repeatedly nerfed, but becaus ethey are fun, until micromanagement sets in.

I wish to try my hand at Ulm - Black Forest.

Oh, and I'm in US Eastern time zone (GMT-5).

I really don't mind who I am, a random from what remains is good for me.

I'm toying around with playing Abysia, if you can believe that!

However, I would like to reserve Mictlan as well if you'll allow it, pending more conversations with the rest of the vet team.

That's fine, though I would like everyone decided upon something as soon as possible. I was hoping to create the game and start pretender uploading before I go out of town on Tuesday (2/3). But that may have to wait till I get back on Thursday or Friday, depending upon how fast people get back to me on nation choice.

I've kept the pace slow and relaxed, and will continue to do so as I'm pretty busy and I want players who will be in it for the long haul, but we do need to get the game off and running soon.

We've got enough vets to begin, but I'm still short a noob who's not been in contact, Therefore, I'm switching in a noob alternate, so we'll have enough to start pretender uploads by Monday night.

Assuming the server cooperates that is.

Amonchakad · #9 February 2nd, 2009, 02:23 PM

Sorry for the delay, I was quite busy in the weekend.
I suppose i'll just stay in as a possible alternate, now.
Oh,i almost forgot...if i'll still be able to join from the start,i'd like Pythium.

Noob reporting in. I'll take Man I guess or if another choice might go better, I'm open. I'm really new to LA (haven't even looked at most of them) so I'm open to guidance here.
