Perhaps, we should let both of the alternates into the game?

Either that, or re-randomize the nations without water races, or open it anew. I for one don't want to force anyone into it.

Yeah rerandomizing without water nations is a very good idea. I second this idea.

I for one object to re-randomizing for a number of reasons. #1, I doubt that I'm the only one who has put a substantial number of hours into trying to find a pretender setup that would work for indies 9, very difficult research.

#2, if they're re-randomized then the whole process starts over of telling people which nations they have, waiting for their pretenders, and then ... having other people drop out, starting the whole process over again.

Just let the people drop out, who cares if there is 1 aquatic nation or 2 or whatever. It's hard enough getting a game this size going, let alone the randomized, no-diplomacy bit, and it'd be nice to get this one started soon.

I too object to re-randomizing the nations. If we go down that path, we may never get the game started. I have also put a lot of effort into a pretender. Of course, I have yet to find a decent pretender for my random nation, but not for a lack of trying!

I have messaged Bill Paxton and remind him of the game we are trying to get going. I got an email from him this past Friday so I know he is alive.

So if and when we are ready to go (with the current nation) we email or PM it to PashaDawg, correct?

Cainehill · #**116** July 10th, 2005, 02:13 PM

Think so - no one has responded about when we're supposed to send the pretenders in yet.

I fully agree with Cainehill and Panther, in that there should be no rerandomising (if that's a word) of any kind.

If there aren't enough alternate people, I will stick to playing; if not, I'll withdraw and leave my spot for someone else (basically, I think another player would have a funnier time, but I will stick to my commitment if there aren't 17 players).

Incidentally, Bill Paxton showed up on IRC, I'm trying to let him know the game is waiting on him.

PashaDawg · #**119** July 10th, 2005, 03:31 PM

Preteders should be EMAILED to me, please.

I am going out of town starting Saturday (maybe even Friday night). So, Let's say that Pretenders need to be to me by TUESDAY.

It's my understanding that the game might eventually switch to a server. So, that would give us enough time to take care of that.

Tauren has moved into his dorm room to start his college career. But he will not be getting the computer until Tuesday, so he will have to wait until then to do anything.
