Waspworld (NEWBIE GAME), running

[Marmaduke]

I don't know about the GrudgeBringer/Ragnar thing (on the Internet nobody knows I'm a dog), but why is Pythium especially bad vs Ermor? Out of the box, they have level 2 priests with nature (no need for supplies) and solid melee troops to shield the priests while mass banishments take place.
I have yet to play my first MP game on this forum, but I was under the impression that in Dom3 the metagame replaces gameplay balance, i.e. everybody knows Ermor cannot be allowed to grow and gangs on him asap with armies of priests.

Don't worry about it I was just whining as I have never played agianst Ermor as this is my first MP and not even in SP. I'll figure something out.

First, I take offense that you don't believe me. Why would I lie? To play in a game with all new guys (except you who has 10 games by your own admission under your belt).

Second, I also take offense that you would think Grudgebringer would do that in the first place. You must not have played with him before to say that. And if you REALLY think this is some kind of evil plot so that he could play and win a game agianst new guys.....take it up with him (and then I'm SURE I will hear about it in no uncertain terms). Besides, if you know him you know he ALWAYS plays Arco.

If this brings a cloud over your game Groundworm, I apologize and will bow out. But your welcome to check with the people who run Dom as we had to clear it with them before we could do this (Annette I think was her name).

Let me know what you want me to do Groundworm.

Excuse me, I was in IRC thug mode

I do believe you and I don't want to hurt anyones feelings or imply that Grudgebringer is anything but honest and ever so polite and humble.

It just looked soo damn funny, you have to admit that.

Hey,

if there is a problem with Ermor, i will change it. I only want to play now xD.

[Groundworm]

mockingbird should have his pretender in tomorrow, at which point I'll start the game.

puntocom, no problem with Ermor. If there was, I would have disallowed them along with R'lyeh!

So, Ragnar, is that you who's in as Arcoscephale? Are you playing them instead of Pythium? (I ask out of curiosity, and so I know whether to remove the Pythium pretender submitted)

[Ragnars Wolves]

NO, I am going to stay Pythium (I stayed up toooooo late screwing around with it last night to change now), thanks for checking though.

And Fantoman, yes, you are right, it DID look and sound funny as I look back at it. I guess I was sensitive to the discussion I had with GB about this very thing and after screwing up and using his computer....

It was like this whole damn thing was scripted JUST the way he said he didn't want it to happen, and I was waiting for the other shoe to drop (or worse, he cut me off of his internet connection as I am in Grad school and money is REAL hard to come by right now). We discussed this last night and he said if you where serious you would have gone to him (as Sept somebody did on the Traitors game (which is the game he wanted me to start with) as this guy knew the IP address right off since GB has been on 2 winning teams in Noobs vs Vets).

He also said that from all he has heard, you were a good guy and told me to just be up front and things will work out and that I wouldn't be around long enough for them to even notice me (grrrrrrrrrrr).

Thanks for responding, we BOTH appreciate it.

So... if Ragnar didn't upload an Arcoscephale pretender, who did?

[Ragnars Wolves]

It wasn't me as I stayed with Pythium.

My folks are over for dinner and my dad is standing right over my shoulder. He said that in a game that he had played in a year or so ago, some new guy kept sending in a pretender (hijacking the game) thinking that all you had to do to play was send in the pretender without being accepted. He says that it happened 3 times before the right guy could get his in and the game started.

I don't have any idea if this is the case, but I have been on some gamesites where you just log into the game when they start one to play without saying anything, the first 5 or 8 (or whatever) that log in play. If it isn't Morningstar can you just kick it out and have him load?

[mockingbird]

I just tried to upload my pretender and the upload failed due to the game being full.

Did the moderator decide to boot me after all due to my late submission?

It happens sometimes that some clueless nutjob joins games without asking. The admin can just remove it.
