Yeah, for the next game the new forum would definitely be better.

Yeah, wish I could keep em together though.

I am glad Melnorjr handled the placement, I would strongly have been tempted to roll that die again and again till The Mysterios were safely on the opposite side of those raging (and probably very angry) giants of DrP and his Deva gang.

Huh? I thought placements (and colors) weren't being disclosed?

They're not. He's just speaking theoretically.

Septimius doesn't even know whose where unless he actually looked up the specstarts - I sent him a list of them without indication of which start was what nation.

I've decided to hold off on creating the game and starting pretender uploads on Llamaserver until Gandalf has finished his additions/changes to the .map file. While I seem to recall creating a game and switching mods and maps before the game started at least once before, it may be better to play it safe.

Due to a naming issue on the server, the map .rgb file and possibly the mod .dm file may need to be renamed, but you won't have to re-download anything. I'll let everyone know if this will be the case and what to rename them to before I create the game.

Thanks.

Game updates:

As Micah has done for the Blessed Ones, Lingchih has graciously accepted the position of team advisor for The Mysterios replacing Executor in that capacity. Thanks to Executor for his help.

I have received the AI work from Gandalf. Thank you Gandalf for your excellent work. I will be creating the game and starting pretender uploads (assuming no problems) Sunday afternoon.

The game has been created on Llamaserver. I am waiting for it to show up on the list of games awaiting pretenders.

Edit: Ok, the game is up. You can send in your pretenders.
Remember to have the BI mod (2-1 Gold) enabled when creating your pretenders (just in case).

Before the game starts (before you try your first turn, you'll likely need to rename the map .rgb file you downloaded to "Noobs_and_Vets_Map" as the .map file Llamaserver is using is pointing to that file with the underscores.

Additionally, you may also need to rename the BI mod gold version .dm file posted on our opening post to "better_independents_v2-1_g". However, I don't think this will be necessary. We'll know when we try to run our first turn file. I'll upload the renamed versions for those who haven't yet downloaded anything.

Let's get those pretenders in then!

Ok, but you could have contacted one of our alternates Tam or Sum1. Assuming you are able to reach them in time.
