Mongoose - Starting (at last!)

[llamabeast]

It's been quite a while since I ran a game for new/newish players - so I thought I would get one going. This game will run on my automated PBEM server ( www.llamaserver.net ).

This'll be an MA game, played on a modified version of Parganos I've made (attached). It's similar to the normal Parganos map, but I've reassigned the terrain types a bit to make it a bit fairer (so one person doesn't start in an endless swamp, for instance).

There's room for 7 land nations and one water nation.

The timer will be on 24 hour quickhost (i.e. it hosts when all turns are in or after 24 hours, whichever is sooner). Once we reach mid game and the turns start to take longer the timer can be extended to 48 hours if people prefer.

Required level of newishness: Up to you! If you don't feel it would be unfair to play against new players, you're welcome. Probably you'll have played 0, 1 or 2 MP games or so.

Please post and say what nation you'd like! Make sure you read other people's posts to check your nation hasn't already been taken.

If this game overflows I can always start another, as well.

The nations are:

Marignon - Hardfelt
R'lyeh - Sensori
Ermor - Aezeal
Pangaea - BigandScary
Abysia - fabio80mi
Ulm - Eldanesh
Arcoscephale - Loren
Caelum - WonderLlama

Sounds like fun. I'll play.

Count me in as Pythium.

[Hardfeldt]

This could be fun to try. I have never played any MP games before, so this will be a good learning experience!

Sign me up as Marignon.

[Loren]

I'm in. I'll get back later with my nation.

[Chicanist]

i'd be interested...i'll try machaka.

Edit: Decided I'd better not play after all

[Aezeal]

I want in, let me think about a nation

[Sensori]

I haven't played any MA games yet (plus I don't ever do serious SP games, I don't find them fun), and I sort of find myself disliking the excessive competitiveness that shows as insane aggressiveness towards all neighbors at all times of the "regular" games which isn't very conductive to having fun nor even learning how to play the nation effectively... Which is why I wanna play in this game. As for the nation, I'd like to be R'lyeh.

Edited for realizing that there can only be one water nation.

[Aezeal]

MA Ermor for me then

[BigandScary]

I'm in, put me down for Pangea
