Please private message me if another game gets rolling. This is what I get for working through the past few days. ;-)

Default Re: Victory Points

You sure they're only counted every 12 months? Remember a _lot_ of things have been described as happening every season, every year, etc, when they occur every month.

Edit : Just tested, and it does occur each summer. Oddly, even with VPs in capitols, capitols don't display a VP symbol, when they probably should.

Default Dawg\'s Lucky Number 13!

Jurri and I have considered the VP issue closely. Not that we are the big dogs on the block (or at least he isn't)... but here is what we figure:

There are 274 Prov total. 227 land & 47 sea. That is about 18 prov per VP. That's a lot. It will be hard to have a big empire early on.

In any case, after playing out a scenario, we figured that a 13 winning score would be better than 10. It will better ensure that the game does not end TOO quickly unless a player is the total cat's meow.

So, unless there are a lot of objections, the winning score will be 13. That is, DAWG'S LUCKY NUMBER 13!!!

Known bug. Fixed recently IIRC.

Edit: so it might be unfair to have VPs in capitols. I don't remember if it is just the display or if they are actually missing.

Default Argatha - - - > Tien Chi

Cainehill has decided to switch to Tien Chi.

So, if one of the current players would like to switch to Argatha, just let me know.

I think all players now have the game. So please get me your pretenders by 9:00 pm Boston Time tonight. Then we will start!

Default Possible delay

A player has requested a little extra time for pretender design due to work concerns today. So, we might start the game tomorrow morning instead. After all, this is just a game, and it's better that we get a good start so everyone has fun!

Default Re: Possible delay

Ok. Shovah - You're Agartha.

Kissblade - you're free to hold Patala and Jomon, but please decide quickly in case someone else wants Patala or Jomon.

And, of course, don't forget to send me your pretenders, and be sure to password protect them!
