There will be five teams, each consisting of two players.

The teams will be arranged in a pentagon, and the winning condition is this:

*** The game is over, and your team wins when both of the teams adjacent to you on the pentagon are dead.

This means the two teams adjacent to you are your enemies, and the two other teams that are not adjacent to you are your competitors.

We'll use a wrap-around map so that team-mates are near each other, and enemy teams are near each other.

I'll run a TCP/IP server, on 48-hour quickhost. Teams should arrange it so that if one team member is unable to make his move the other one does it for him.

Zooko, Arc (Ulm & T'ien Ch'i)
King Lear, Ioticus (Machaka & Man)
Tauren, Panther (Marignon & Abysia)
quantum_mechani, Turin (Arcoscephale & Pangaea)
Hubris, Aku (C'tis & Ermor)

Note that the teams have been randomized by Alneyan, so which team is enemies with which other two teams is not yet known.

Settings: all default settings except:
* Zen's Pretender Mods 2.01
* Zen's Scale Mods 1.2
* Zen's Spell Mods 1.8
(Honestly I don't care for these mods, but everyone seems to like them so I decided to use them.)
* 45% magic sites (instead of default 40%)
* Magic research difficult (instead of default magic research normal)
* Independent strength 9 (instead of default independent strength 3)
* Score graphs OFF (instead of default score graphs on)

[Aku]

Hubris and I will join as the last team if that is ok.

[GriffinOfBuerrig]

Heyda, Hacker Pschor and me will be in one team.

Anything about the nation picking?

We want to pick Jotun(me) and Emor(Hacker Pschorr).

.

Edit: O r are we too late, i won�t hope it!

[Zooko]

GriffinOfBeurrig and Hacker Pschor: sorry the Ascension War is full unless one of the other teams drops out.

Team 1: Zooko and Arc
Team 2: King Lear and Ioticus
Team 3: Tauren and Panther
Team 4: Yellowcactus and Cunknown
Team 5: Hubris and Aku

[GriffinOfBuerrig]

Ahhh, oki, we will wait and enter if one team drops :-]

[arch_o_median]

So what nations do we play?
I propose that everyone simultaneously nominates a first pick. Nations that are only picked once go to the picker.

All: (one pretender<-->one nation) picks are determined leaving fewer nations to choose from and fewer pretenders to choose....
