Pretender uploaded. Further question: has it been customary to use irc or some messenger service to communicate during these epics?

Not really. Mostly because I am devoid of IRC, because being on IRC has always filled me with an urge to do severe bodily harm to the others on the channel. I think I might have been on the wrong channels, though. Either way, I lack an IRC client. Does anyone have a Linux IRC client that is not too much work to set up and directions how to operate it?

Messenger, on the other hand, I consider to be beneath my dignity to touch. If I absolutely MUST contact somebody who's only point of contact is through IM, I dispatch a minion (aka. "flunky" or "*****"), to deliver my message.

Trillian is a great (and free) IRC client for Windows. I have no idea what's available for linux.

Never heard of it. I use Windoze for games only. Since Windoze will be occupied with the important task of playing Dominions II, where I, as Ermor, struggle valiantly not to be overly late despite the massive amount of pencils that much be pushed, a task I manage to pull off amazingly well, ALT-TABBING constantly is not an option. And my screen is too small to play in Windowed mode without looking like crap. I could get a bigger monitor, but do you have any idea how long it takes to order a custom-built bulletproof monitor? Plus then I wouldn't have enough space on my desk to put other monitors.

What's your second choice if Pangaea is taken?

Everybody should make sure they have downloaded the World map prior to starting the game. Either Illwinter's world map OR the Torvak Version are both valid. Don't hold up the kickoff by finding out you don't have the map!

I have illwinters world map. How come it does not matter which one, do clients only need the image file?

R'lyeh, I think.

I quit, sorry. Maybe next time. For the others: Good Luck and Have Fun!

Well, better now than later.

So, current roll call:

Me: Ermor
Tujin: Caelum or Pangaea (undecided)
Argitoth: C'tis(?)
Condors: Ulm(?)
Navrunner: Unspecified(?)
Truper: Vanheim (signed in)
Graeme: Arco(?)

Still pretty packed. And still a lot of people yet to sign up. Try to get your sign-ins done before about 1930 EST.

Clients only need an image file, and both the Torvakian map and the Illwinter map are compatible with all World map files. Since they're compatible TGAs, it doesn't matter which one you have. It's all personal preference.
