Still time to get in on the game?
I noticed Machaka wasn't taken (or sent in at least)...

Hi PurpleRhino,

Sorry, just reached 14 players, which I think is as many as can really fit on Cradle of Dominion. I will start up a new newbie game in a week or so though - it'll be early age next time I think. You'd be very welcome to join that.

Chantillary - your e-mail killed the server!

Um, I have no idea how. The 'MIME' module I'm using just said 'Don't know how to decode x-uuencode', which unfortunately means nothing to me. Um, do you have another e-mail address you can use? Anyway, I can add your pretender manually, and I'll start the game shortly.

UUencode is one of the oldest encoding algorithms in IT. It's still very heavily used in Usenet, for example. I don't know what you use for programming, but there should be something which let's you encode and decode the data, PHP has functions for that built-in (convert_uuencode / convert_uudecode). For the man pages to the command line equivalents, see

Thanks lch, that's a really useful starter.

Okay guys, the game is starting!

The first turn has 48 hours on the timer, in case there are any problems. Subsequent turns will have 24 hours, i.e. the game will host 24 hours after the last hosting, or when all 14 turns are in, whichever is sooner.

Good luck! Let me know if there are any problems.

Ooh whoops, problem!

It looks like Atlantis and R'lyeh must have designed their pretenders while using a mod that affects pretender costs - almost certainly the Conceptual Balance mod (or alternatively the Mythology mod).

So everyone please ignore this turn since we will do a restart, and Atlantis and R'lyeh please send in new pretenders, making sure all mods are off (technically you should have the same mods on as the game you're joining, so worthy heroes should be on, but it doesn't affect pretenders so doesn't matter).

I currently have Worthy Heroes 1.7b and Blessing Hotfix enabled. That is it. I will turn them off and resubmit my pretender.
