EmpiresRising MA game for new players - started

I now count 8 players so upload your pretenders and we will get going.

Well, I have to say im getting pretty excited for my first MP game! looks like we have 5/8 who have uploaded pretenders. let's get those other 3 in and let's get this game going!

The difference is amazing between playing MP and playing the computer.
Having to wait for each turn really increases the tension.

7/8 now- almost there!

[zenphos]

Lets hope so. Only Ermor left to upload. I might send him a PM and see what he is doing. He might be having trouble working out the uploading and what not.
By the way Llamabeast who normally starts the games when they are full is on holidays so set it to auto start when 8 pretenders are uploaded.
Unfortunately if there is a problem with the auto starter or server he won't be back until april 27 to fix it.

How is Ermor going with his pretender?

[zenphos]

Don't know.

I have PM'ed him but no response. Maybe it may be time to look for a replacement?
Not that I want to, especially on someones first MP game but it would be good to get started.
What does everyone else think? Wait another day, or 2 or a week?

[lebarjack]

Well, I would like to start as soon as we can. Unoptimized didn't post since 04/11. We can give him a couple of hours to show up. After that, I think we should find a replacement.

[Wookie1977]

Yeah I reckon go with a replacement, if he posts before we find a replacement then hes in, if not we go with the new guy, whoever he may be
