VP's do allow for the "teleport in with SC" attacks for the win, which can be obnoxious. On the other hand, they do shorten the game.

After reading the AAR of this VP game I suggest caution with VPs.

Summary of complaints: the game ended early (turn 48) and abruptly (by raiding). Players never seem to castle thier VPs. The 3 point VP provinces are too much. 40% Vp is too low, 65% suggested.

Agreed.

Gaaarrrr! I cant wait any longer either!

Just the anticipation of losing in such a complete and total way is immobilizing.

But seriously, i am excited and I am fairly certain that I have set myself up to lose with Marv and a very poor pretender pick.

Haha, that's the spirit, Cor. I wasn't feeling too well and took the day off and I find myself stranded at home with too much time on my hands... I need the game to start! =)

I sent in my Vanheim pretender last night (Australia time) so I'm not sure who we are waiting on.

I'd prefer standard VPs myself since it will be a large map and it adds a bit of strategy. I guess they should have defended the VPs better in that AAR game. We should at least go for a province total condition, of course I have not played a MP game yet so I'm not sure.

glad you are all excited but were still waiting for Imororg-Sauromatia and Kyosti-Pangaea. i have no other way to contact them then the forum so hope they'll check it soonish.

i have decided that we'll play with vp but enough to make the game last and not too many 3vp provinces. i'll send you guys/girls the map once i have all the pretenders.

also i'm in the netherlands(western europe)so i recieve/read most of your post and emails over night. they are a nice read during my breakfast =)but just so you realise the time difference.

Why not open up the two slots so those that are more interested to play can do so. Or at least set a deadline. Because if a game hasn't become interesting (as in not even starting) people tend to forget that they joined. Just saying and all...

Yeah, agreed. It's been four days since inception and if people haven't sent in their Pretenders by now, they clearly aren't interested.
