DrP... surely you jest at being a noob.

TheDemon · #**152** June 11th, 2009, 07:12 PM

Hey Sept. We were wondering if we should avoid picking water nations due to the symetrical mapchoice likely not supporting them? Also we were wondering how the first picks for the returning alts is going to happen, the noobs have Unoptimized and the vets have Namad.

I'm in 2 games currently and due to work and other RL concerns I'm not sure I could be a good teammate in this one.

Welcome Pelthin and TwoBits. Don't forget to join the noob forum (link on opening post) and post your nation preferences there.

Dr. P, you are scaring the vets! Are you joining as a Vet or a Vet Alternate?

TheDemon, we are going for at least an 18 player start, so yes no water nations needed. Once we begin the nation selection phase namad and Unoptimized get whatever nations they want. We then draw up the ranked team lists, minus whatever they picked.

1 more noob needed.

Stretch, how bout taking a noob alternate slot then?

namad · #**155** June 12th, 2009, 12:58 AM

how are we deciding who gets ashdod? coin flip? I get it because I asked first? or abolish the returning alternates benefit and just make every nation part of the list process? (after which teams can give some form of preference to returning alternates if they wish or do not wish)

also clearly in MA first pick is ashdod so if your going to give me some sort of preferential treatment i'll take ashdod

Remember noobs, this time around if you don't sign up for the forum you can't play. I'll send out pms to those who are not signed up for the forum when there are sufficient players to start the game as a reminder, but you should sign up sooner rather than later.

TwoBits · #**157** June 12th, 2009, 10:35 AM

Thanks for having me on board!

OK, I've joined the Noob Forum, but I don't see much current information there, just archives for rounds 1 and 2, and a guest forum with zero posts. Am I missing something, or will there be no action there until the game is ready to go?

rdonj · #**158** June 12th, 2009, 11:15 AM

When you first sign up, you are immediately enabled as a user. In order to help prevent spying attempts (which, btw, have not happened nor do I expect them to) the main forum is hidden and can only be seen by those who are members of a user group. Either me or septimius can bring people in, and I've set you as a member now. So you should be able to see everything now.

Lavaere · #**159** June 12th, 2009, 11:16 AM

rdonj needs to give you access to the current discussions. until then you can only read through the last two games archives

I think you want to do it too big and too fast. I can play if one of my games ends. Or if I get a sub in Faerun. But please, please, do not put Gandalf in vet team.

I know Im late seeing this but I would have to agree. A veteran I might be (Dominions 1,2,3 and beta test team) but I would not fit well in a "vet team" game like this. I would highly recommend Sombre as an alternative. He would much better fit your purpose.
