MP: Noobs vs. Vets III: Revolution, MA, CBM. Game Over. Noobs Triumph!

[Septimius Severus]

Vets, get it together with your team, I need you guys to decide on your 6 player starting team ASAP. I would think you'd want Dr. P, Baalz, Lingchih, and/or whoever is most experienced.

Everyone, I want your feedback on the map candidates, no response and I'll assume that what I choose will be approriate. Here's the map post again:

With regard to nation selection, namad, your example is correct in theory, though it is possible, though unlikely, that all of your 10 choices could be identical to the noob's top picks in the exact same order, in which case you'd want a few more just to be on the safe side. Thus I would submit a list of all available nations (minus the 3 water nations, Ashdod, and whatever is picked by Unoptimized (if something is picked) just to be on the safe side. If you want to submit a smaller list that is fine but just be aware there is a chance you may need more.

Hoplosternum, your in as a noob alternate for now, chrispederson is in as a vet alternate for now.

Edit my above post. Going over the possibilities, it does look like your correct namad. Your team's 10 choices should be sufficent even if the upper portions of both lists are duplicates.

Melnorj, you are right that it is stated that the noobs were to have first choice in the ordered list process, but it is also stated and has always been the case that returning alternates would recieve priority in nation selection before everyone else. It is a NvV tradition.

Our returning alternates from both teams were given an equal chance to respond with their nation choices, namad responded first when the process was officially begun and thus was awarded it. Unoptimized has not responded to my PM's as of yet, so he may have flaked out altogether. I hope not, but in any event lets move forward now. I don't like it anymore than you melnorj, but I gave my word. Lets us move forward.

I am in agreement and have already stated that this is what I want more than once. so please, continue with the game preparations, I have no opposition to this.

I'm sorry I was being so petty I had a long weekend and I knew that today I'd want to delete my post... In fact I just tried to edit it to delete it but you can only edit posts 1hour after you make them

[namad]

if we use zeldor's map will everything be on? all the crazy indies? this might be bad for noobs.... additionally i do not see how this map could ever support any number of players other than 12or24 and 18 is not either of those numbers?

honestly games this big are a bit wonky I'm not sure there is really any ideal map? But I encourage players to post some opinions at least

[rdonj]

If any map is used that has specials on it I think it would be best to remove them. There's no sense in making this game unduly complicated.

[rdonj]

Also, if you don't hear from unoptomized today I suggest bringing in an alternate (other games are having issues contacting him as well). Since I think stretch was disinclined to play a whole game, I guess that brings hoplosternum in. I'll send him a pm.

Regarding the maps, would all the various tunnels and caves and such be there? Number two looks interesting, but I'm not sure how all those cave provinces might affect things.

Do we want maps with lots of water (if so, please give me Shinuyama and place me on the coast! )?

[Hoplosternum]

OK I have registered Can't see anything but the archives so far....

[Unoptimized]

I will play Ashdod, and will herald the end of this dark vet dominated age!
