Default Re: MP Game - Yarnspinners

Well, it sounds like there's enough interest to do this, so I've created the game on mosehansen under the name Yarnspinners. Anyone willing to play under these rules is welcome to claim a nation here, upload a pretender and identify themselves on the mosehansen game page. Anonymous registrations will be kicked before the game starts.

I've made the turnaround 72 hours with no quickhost as per one person's request above.

To get full points for yarns, you will need to post about 3 paragraphs each turn. If you write in longer blocks than that, simply break it up and post in instalments. Don't worry too much about posting exactly the right amount, as I plan to be lenient until everyone gets the hang of it.

it might be fun to come up with an ingame reason for the fates being decided on turn 60 (that's only 5 years ingame i think right?). If you could feel the tension building in the various characters as they see the 'end' approaching.

The Last time I wrote AARs was for my Stars! games (which was quite a few years ago). I think I might be interested in trying this out, playing as Vanheim. I'm still really new, but this would be fun.

Five years 'till the end of the world, eh?
Reminds me of "Odyssey 5" =P
Good night.

At a player's request, I've just kicked anonymous registrations, which took them all out.

For those unfamiliar with mosehansen games, the procedure is

1. Claim your nation here
2. Upload your pretender
3. Go to the mosehansen game page, find your nation in the list, click "That's Me" and "Submit".

I never played Ermor in MP, thus I herewith claim it. And, after all, I want to score at least the twenty points at the end of the game once, for army size.

And the dark, brooding style of Ermor is much better suited to motivate me to write 180 paragraphs. Oh gods. There goes my holiday!

Noth, the Prince of Famine, Terror Of The Tomb and Lover Of War has come to ascend the godhood unjustly denied those aeons ago when the world was young and the old gods alive. Ermor rises again.

20 points if first;
10 points if second;
5 points if third;
[*]The player with the highest final total is declared the winner.[/list]
How are points to be awarded in the case of ties? Provinces and castles in particular might be even, especially as everyone has an incentive to try to get up there for the points.

Riven, Lord of Fire and Ice, Breaker of Spirits, Corrector of Illiterate Fools hereby rises from his slumber to bring attention to your ill conceived plans: it is clearly stated in the rules for this contest of wit, that no army will be counted points.
