I have sent everyone their submission numbers.

Have fun.

Pasha

Thanks Pasha.

if anyone is leaving this game we need to know now so we can find another player.

if everyone is still in then no worries and lets get rolling.

ok so we wait to see when a pretender has been submitted to the server and when our number comes up we submit, correct?

incabulos:

correct. hopefully it won't take too long since there's only eight players. but yes unfortunately we are kind of locked into a submission order that will slow it down a bit.

it was suggested that this method would be a little more fair of way of handling anon nations while still allowing players to choose there own. that maybe right, but I think if I do another game like this I'll just set a 'submission start data' and let it be first come first serve. the extra step just isn't that worth it

Considering the length of games I don't think it hurts too much and makes things a little fairer.

another thing is that people must download the CBM version on the OP. it is a slightly different version that fixes the blindlord mistake (with them having A8) and gives C'tis tomb summons +1H (so that the Tomb Kings now have H4, and can cast their nationals).

Also be sure to activate it. It should be called 'CBM 1.41c' or some such. if you do not have it active when you make your pretender, llamaserver will barf and we'll have to resubmit, which will be a big pain. if you've already submitted but didn't have this mod active, then you can just resubmit up until the point when all eight get in.

I'll stay. And yes, I was being a pansy

1 pretender in, we're moving!

I think it's going to be a long haul, especially the last few players who will likely be picking nations they hadn't initially considered

Just a thought.. maybe we can speed this up, if Pasha is willing to put a little extra work in, by each player sending a list of preferences 1-8?

Pasha can then very quickly assign each player their nation, reply via message and let everyone get to work on their pretenders?

I had considered something like that initially, but don't want to burden the third party manager with any additional tasks; they're nice enough to do whatever they do in the first place.

Seems there are 3 pretenders submitted. It should not take more than 24h for each pretender submission. Just a matter of the next person being awake and online. Best case scenario is probably a reply time of 12h.

Let's hustle folks. Mush.
