Andean Zorro - MA/diff_research/VPs - game started

[llamabeast]

Apologies all, I had a much busier evening than expected, and now just have to go to bed. I will start the game tomorrow for sure. Sorry for the further suspense!

[anticipatient]

You'll never hear a complaint about you from me, Llama.

[StrictlyRockers]

OMG, I am so sorry. I forgot I was going on a camping trip all weekend in the mountains. I just got back and I am sending in my pretender now. I know, my bad. If you guys start without me, I won't whine about it. I didn't mean to hold the game up.

I hope I can play though, I really wanted to play in this one. This is my only real game atm. So, I'm off to make a pretender, and good luck in thisi game if I didn't get it in on time.

[anticipatient]

Cool, hopefully we can get Rockin' now

If I'm one too many now that SR is here, I'll bow out, but I'd still like to play if it's cool with you Omni.

[Omnirizon]

OMMfG. OK. no. I'm sorry Strictly. We can only take one of you, and we are going to stick with anticipatient. We are so far behind schedule right now. anticipatient. get your mother****ing new pretender to llama NOW!!! This game better be live tommorow.

unless llama gets busy again that is.

[llamabeast]

anticipatient already got his pretender to me, so that is fine.

Cradle is a big map. You could squeeze 11 players on if you wanted to. Entirely your call.

[llamabeast]

What I will do is start it as soon as I can (early this evening UK time) regardless. If I have SR's pretender and Omni's approval, then I'll start it with all 11 players. If either the pretender or the approval don't arrive in time I'll start it with just the 10 (including anticipatient).

[Omnirizon]

thanks for your service llama.

I'm going to stick with 10 players on this one; for three reasons.

one is that adding an extra land player starts giving our single water nation too much advantage.

two is that there is another game just staring signups. it is an LA CBM game called corruption. It, literally, just started recruiting, so Strictly should be able to get in there.

three is that the map is only rated max ten players; and while I've heard as many as twelve playing on it successfully, I actually want to limit game length a little, and I think fewer players is good in that regard.

[llamabeast]

Sloth was 21 players on Cradle. That was absolutely fine. Certainly 10 is not many on Cradle. However, I respect your decision and will use only anti's pretender.

[Omnirizon]

21 players! good lord. that would be cramped; fun perhaps, but cramped.

but yeah, i'd rather stick with fewer players this time around.



hmmm... i want to try one of these super cramped map games sometime though. not twenty-one on cradle though, but something like ten on silent seas.
