Yep - I'm not sure what timezone everyone is in, so I don't know when we'll all be uploaded. I was hoping by tonight, PDT, but we'll see. Lepakko said 1800 GMT, which I think translates to 1100 PDT, so maybe he means Saturday?

Anyhow, do you have to be the one to start the game, or can you set it to client start? If so, I can watch the thread, check the uploads, and start it when we're all on board.

i hope you didn't think I'd make this easy for you

Actually, I've found that in theory a well played Vanheim should counter a well played Caelum. Likewise, Vanheim can also compliment Caelum extremely well. I must admit since I've started playing Dom, those are the two races that have captivated almost all my attention.

I need to start it. It's better that way. I can set a master password, and make backups of the pretender files, and generally just make sure things go smoothly. I'm probably going to be on my PC all weekend unless I am sleeping so I do not think there is much time going to be lost waiting on me

And I must admit that I like the sound of Vanheim and Caelum being captivated with each other in the course of this game.

I'm sure not - well thanks again for hosting this Sheap - looks like we're getting a better deal even then what I first thought!

ermor + abysia have caught my most attention from the beginning
vanheim i always hated
abysia is now my absolute favourite .
with caelum i have interesting ideas too .

with vanheim they are in general really cool but i have difficulties with their bad sitesearch abilities .

That sounds fine - I take it you mean Sat morning, right? It'd be great if we could get this rolling early-ish on Saturday. I think Lepakko was talking about getting his pretender up about that time.
