So hey..... I've got a few games ending here, and so will have time to add this one maybe - I do like Agartha. 8 )

What I am curious though, has the game actually officially started? It sounds like it sort of hasn't..... I'd be much more interested if I could design my own pretender, rather than being stuck with who knows what.

I could have the file sent within a few hours at most of knowing I had the spot, so it wouldn't require much waiting, if it's an option.

Hi JimMorrison.

The game hasn't taken off yet but I was hoping to avoid evryone having to resubmit their Pretenders.

I'll check with llamabeast to see if a restart would delete the pretenders or if only yourself would have to "resubmit" a pretender, presumably after "Agarthas" e-mail address is altered.

Either way I'm off to bed now so theirs no need to rush yourself.

EDIT: I mean if we do have to resubmit pretenders thats not really any hassle, but I'll just check what the correct technical procedure is for a restart, cos I've never admined before and am still feeling my way around.

Cheers.

If Jim wants to re-design etc then lets just start from scratch (guess who didn't like their starting position ). Seriously though, it isn't like the game has really kicked off in any way and it would be unfair for a sub to inherit a pretender at this stage of the game.

Want to second the appreciation for the pro-active admin of the game to date. Well done RadioGibbon and Llamabeast.

Well that's the thing - even if the first turn had been sent, if everyone was okay with me making a new pretender, then the game has to start completely over, so start positions would be regenerated, even if everyone else had the same pretender recycled.

Works for me - best to have a game where everyone is happy with their pretender (and their starting position !).

Thanks for subbing in!

OK with me, heck I am so new I never design my pretender twice the same way anyway....

I may just get it better, as far as starting positions go if they are random then we take our chances if you have predetermined then it will work out ok...

Welcome aboard Jim!!

I'm happy with a full re-start to allow Jim a chance to design his own Pretender. As James243 says, it's always best to have a game everyone is happy with :-)

Top marks for RadioGibbon's admin so far as well.

Please let us all know if the Pretender files need to be sent in again, or if the ones already sent in will be transfered over automatically.

'Executor'. I'm not 100% sure what's happening, but from reading the thread, it appears that 'JimMorrison' will be coming in to to take the place of the AWOL Agartha player, and he'd like a chance to design his own Pretender rather than use the one the original Agartha player designed.

And I guess if the majority of the players are happy to allow this, then that is what will happen, and the game will be re-started with new start positions. Of course if the majority aren't happy with this, then I guess it won't happen. Unless of course the admin calls it. As his decision should always be final :-)
