Megagame 2009

No megagame this year?

I guess all those who organized the megagames (Velusion, Xietor) have dropped out. Would have been nice to see another one.

And no, I won't organize it, unless 7 vets ask me to do so. Mega game organizers seem to have a habit of quitting the game, which I do not wish to do.

Every year has to have a mega game. Maybe Xietor might make a comeback?

Xietor's just taken a bit of time off to do some sports and so forth. He said he might be around again in the summer once it gets too hot. I think him and Velusion have done their bit though, by organising the last two megagames, so it's only fair someone else should do it this year.

Lingchih - if I count as a vet, I hereby ask you to organise it. 6 to go.

What is this megagame thing?

The planned third installment in the Noobs vs Vets series will be a rather largish team game, is the megagame a team game as well?

Will it be open to us noobs?

A megagame is all the nations in one singe game, so that's what? about 70 or so?
It's not a team game, but you'll be foolish if you don't make any alliances in a game of that scale.
I missed it the last time due to traveling but I'm here for this one (if it get's organized).

For reference:

Perpetuality, the first megagame ever.

Kingmaker, the first megagame to ever finish in a victory.

Careful though, those games can burn people out. I didn't play dominions for months after Perpetuality finished. Guess DrP did me a favour by attacking me in Kingmaker since at least I didn't suffer from burnout again.

And got to kill Niefel Jarls with Markatas.

I vote against it. Because I know that if it is created I won't be able to resist playing it. At least Armageddon spam in Kingmaker reduced late game micro... [and it should be somehow banned in next megagame, I guess].

Plus, what are the chances in wining it twice!?!?!?

Would still be entertaining though
