I work for a slot machine manufacturer. It is the general lack of understanding of probability, randomness, clustering and volatility that makes casinos possible(and rich).

One of my favourite probabilities is how few people there need to be in a room to make the likliehood of two people sharing a birthday highly probable.

If we have a couple days to post pretenders, then were the game at. Because I ain't seeing no 'Magellan'

Pretender all set and ready to go..just need a place to send it too.

Right. I'm home now, haven't yet gotten around to uploading everything to llamaserver. I have a conference call in a few hours that I have to prepare for...I'll set it up during the con call. It's not like anything will actually be accomplished during the con call, whose sole purpose is to ensure all members have prepared for the con call, and are sober enough to operate a telephone. After that, you're free to zone out.

So if you're new to llamaserver, have no fear, it's very simple to join the game. First, install the 2 mods linked through the above link (i.e. CBM 1.41 and Standards & Streamers). Then activate them. Then design your pretender using the Dom3 pretender creation tool. Then follow llamaserver's FAQs:

I guess we now need to Re-Patch to 3.23b before we start.

They said it was on the main Dom page but I didn't see it, if we could get someone to put a link in here it would surely speed up the start and cut down on the confusion.

Yeah it's on this page in the lower right: http://www.shrapnelgames.com/Illwint...DOM3_page.html

2 announcements:

1) Pretenders are due in around 8 hours, so make sure you get them in!

2) House Rule: No Trans-Continental sailing is allowed across province #215 (aka "The Maelstrom")

A last-minute announcement, I know, but I think it's necessary to avoid a potentially unfair situation...Long story short, if a sailing nation starts adjacent to that province, they'll have sailing access directly into another player's capital. By forbidding trans-continental (i.e. from one continent to the other), this problem is avoided. Flavor: a massive maelstrom perpetually swirls at the center of this province; no sane sailor would dare try to cross it. Any Questions?

So pretenders were due 3hrs ago, and 3 players haven't yet submitted.

But it turns out to be a blessing in disguise. This will give me a chance to alter to map to eliminate the unsightly house rule I had to announce last night.

I've sent PMs to the 3 players asking if they still intend to play. Hopefully they won't all submit before I finish modding the map!
