I think I have mine, but need to make sure it is okay with TEAM NOOB.

The noobs are taking their time, practicing, testing, and so forth. I'd like to begin by Saturday though. I myself have some tests I need to run, having spent most of my time in simply organizing everything.

If you vets would like something to do in the meantime, you may post your planned strategies here, tell us what your pretender builds will be, and issue us guest passes to the vet forum.

I'm also thinking it might be better to go with the suggestion stretch had of a game with vet team captains and one or two noob allies, they would make for great learning games for noobs vs vets alumni, and probably be quite fun to play.

If someone else wanted to create another noobs vs vets game though I would be happy to admin it for them.

Yes, I'm burned out myself, hence my planned retirement from hosting. Though, the vets who might participate would not necesarilly have to have played in the other games. It is to see how much noob alumni have learned and how well they could stand in a 1 on 1 competition.

The second idea works of course, and would certainly be very enriching, though I'd think it might be more aptly named "Noobs and Vets".

Oh, sure.

My pretender will be imprisoned Great Enchantress with domstr 10 and A10E1S1D9. The plan is to rely on 80% airshield bless on my Vans so that they can close in and kill stuff with DEATH WEAPONS! Cool, isn't it? The Vans will just flip and kill EVERYONE with DEATH WEAPONS!

Unfortunately this takes a lot of points, but no worry. My modest scales, turmoil 3 productivity 0 heat 0 death 3 misfortune 3 drain 3, will ensure that no attacking noob army will be unharmed by raiding barbarian forces. Even the lands I own will soon lose all value thanks to the constant plaque events, so there will be no reason for noobs to attack me. That enables me to aim for research victory and be a excellent support for my teammates.

I just found the Ultimate Gateway in my capital!!

That Marignon pretender that's currently uploaded isn't mine. Could you delete it?

[atul]

Just send in your own, and it should get rewritten?

[TheDemon]

Doesn't it lock the pretender to the email address? I'll try anyway, but I think it'll just give me an "already taken" mail.


edit: yup

[Unoptimized]

I'm sorry guys, but from the looks of it, my laptop can't send or receive files from the internet. I'm trying to fix this problem, but I can't reliably send my god untill wend. If you guys want to wait, that would be excellent, but if not I will do my best to find a sub

[namad]

you can just tell someone what pretender you want to use and have them fashion it themselves and then have them email it in (explain this request on the private noob forum).... then you can have the admin change the email address to whatever email address you want... i do not think it would be reasonable to wait until july to submit pretenders
