BAG (Started!)

[Dedas]

Sigh, it seems this game will never get started...

[Aristander]

I will take Patala if it is still open.

[Lazy_Perfectionist]

Yessir. Patala->Open->Aristander->now closed.
Glad to have you onboard.

Burnsaber->Contemplating.
Could you give me some specific time? So, you won't be back on the fifteenth? I'd considered putting the first turn on a 50 hour timer as standard, but excluding you from the equation, I might stretch it a little further just because its such a large game and been such a big deal to organize. Including you in the equation, I'd need a specific, GMT time.

So, I'm undecided on the burnsaber request- but I'll think it over and post later tonight.

I'd be willing to play Pythium, but if Aristander was willing, I'd like to play Patala instead. I spent last night making sure my novel idea for them worked, and I'd really like to try it out in multi-player.

However, I'll play Pythium if he isn't willing to switch.

I should have researved the slot before I went to sleep. Hmph.

[Burnsaber]

I'll probably be able to make my turn on Monday (15th day) morning. Forcehost at 12.00 GMT on Monday the 15th? Is that okay?

RE: Lord_Bob
Once this game gets going, I'll be reincarnating my Halls of Valhalla thread where I organize smaller 8 player games (much quicker to start, too). If you can't talk Aristander into switching, then I'll reserve Patala for a few days after I start recruiting. But that's then, not now, and you'll have to claim it when I resurrect the thread.

RE: Burnsaber
Short Answer: Yes. Doable. No problem. The first turn will host around 16:00 GMT Monday.
Long, Meandering Answer:

Well, its actually Llamabeast who will start the game- it depends on his internet access. I'll be administrating it, though. And my original plans call for it to start on Saturday. I'd be awake around 10:00 local time, back from work at five. So we'll round the planned start time to 16:00 GMT- though it depends as well upon the llama.

One of the typical schemes for multiplayer is setting the first turn to take 48 hours. So take 16:00 GMT on Saturday, add 48, and you get 16:00 GMT Monday. I don't know precisely when llama will start things, but I don't mind fudging things a bit since it is so close to my original plan. A Wednesday would be completely out of the question, but anytime Monday is no problem whatsoever.

RE: Dedas
We'll still be starting at our usual time. And our hosting schedule should be close to planned.

[Aristander]

Lord Bob, I am happy to honor your request and switch to Pythium. Blood and Elephants? ?

No worries.

We should use the new hotfix (see Endoperez' post in the mod forum) that fixes issues with 3.10.

Note to self: Mustn't forget...

[Dedas]

I agree on that.

[Lazy_Perfectionist]

If llamabeast puts it on his server, sure. If not, well... we're going to be starting on time unless its critical.

I'm not sure what errors are in 3.10...
