FunnelEaredBat - MA newbie game: started

Now that 3.15 is out, when will we be switching?

[Profanicus]

The Llamaserver has been patched to 3.15 so I would say we do it now, ready for turn 8!

"Happily, as players it is impossible to do anything wrong. You can take your current turns using either 3.14 or 3.15, it doesn't make any difference. Next turn you will have to take using 3.15 - but if you try to open it using 3.14 it won't let you, so again it is impossible to make a mistake."

ooh, didn't even notice the new patch. Thanks.

Hey guys, should have done this a while ago: I'd like to ask for a volunteer to admin this game. The admin has to do two things:

1) If a player asks for an extension or anything then do it (provided it's reasonable; a day or two is reasonable, if they are going away for a week they should get a sub). It's super easy via the interface on the website.

2) If the admin gets knocked out of the game, pass the password on to one of the remaining players.

It's a really easy, almost zero-work job, but it keeps me from having to carefully watch 30-odd game threads (which I tried for a bit, and it hurt).

[LordCalvert]

Since I'm a grumpy old retiree, I'll volunteer to do it. I'll probably be asking for the first extension next weekend as I'll be tied up running an SCA event here in deepest, darkest.

[llamabeast]

Brilliant, thanks LordCalvert. I'll PM you the password.

What's SCA? To me it means Student Community Action, but I'm guessing that's not it.

I too am wondering about the victory conditions.
I know it is supposed to be "standard victory conditions", but then why are there Victory Point crowns in some of the provinces?

Yeah, I had the same question in my last game. Here is the response I got:

"Yeah, there are VPs for some reason, but they don't really mean anything but a little increase in dominion when you take 'em when there's no VP victory."

The forces of Ulm have decided to invade one of my provinces unprovoked. It seems they wish to start a war!
