MP Game - Anyone interested in a *really* slow game? *full and running**

The normal Version, all the lakes are connected - this is a huge screwy advantage for the water nations, as they can be far far away, and yet, they can reach almost any area of the map.

The dry Version removes the linkage between the isolated lakes, making (in some people's opinions) a more balanced map.

If we aren't explicitly using Karan-Dry, then we're using regular Karan.

if ermor or mictlan ends up being a no-show, i'd be happy to take either (w/ pref for mictlan out of the two). I've never played either and would like to try them out. a slow game is ok, but i especially like the appeal of being knocked out reasonably fast

edit: ahh, i see mictlan has shown. if any nations are free, i can respond fairly quickly and upload.

I didn't specify it but I'm also for Karan dry Version.

It seems that I've missed a chance to delete my no-password pretender.
Could you pleeeeeease kick anonymous players again. Please, please, please.

Someone can step into my Machaka slot. This game is too crowded for my taste.

You need to check the box "That's not me!" in the game view. That will make you anonymous. Then ask me to kick all anonymous players.

This was implemented as people apparently overwrote pretender positions --- hopefully by accident or unknowingly.

You can --- and should! --- check if the pretender you have uploaded is the correct one using the md5 sum. In linux, the utility is name md5sum --- if you are using another OS just post it and some other guy can tell you how to do it.

Once you have claimed the pretender as you (Checking the That's me! box) the pretender is locked and can only be unlocked by you.

Hi I think I have uploaded to Ulm (in error ) & Abysia, with a pretender that seems different somehow - possibly missng a password so please kick those and accept my apologies. I will upload a proper Abysia tommorrow.

Oki, uploaded my pretender (with password this time). I'm ready to rumble.

[Karacan]

I prefer Karan to Karan dry, but only because I don't have to go searching for Karan_dry. If someone points me to it, I am all for it.

I have staked Tien Chi (at least I hope so) and I will submit pretender in a few hours (just got home and I need to see how to play Tien Chi)
