Game name: Spumbum
Requirements: The map attached to this post and the warhammer ma mod found here: http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/showthread.php?t=45208

You must be on IRC regularly to play this game. Anyone not getting on IRC enough may in fact be booted.

This is a casual game, so the only real rule is don't be a tool. It's all just for fun. Anyone listing this as a win in the victorious nations thread will forever more be known as a Serious Sally.

Players so far:

Jurri: Tomb Kings
Maerlande: Ogres
Raiel: Skaven
Sombre: MA Ulm
Quitti : Lizardmen
FrozenLama : MA Pythium

I have a new recipe.

Spums: Frozen Jalapeno pops.

Take 20 jalapeno peppers. Split and remove seeds. Chop fine. Add 1 cup water and 3 cups sugar. Boil until the sugar dissolves.

Pour into popsicle cups and freeze overnight.

And we have the final player signed up.

Now taking pretenders. Remember to enable WarhammerMA and ONLY WarhammerMA when making your pretender. Then send it to "Spumbumsicle"

Apparently Raiel is now having problems getting in irc.

His place is at stake. Those salivating at the prospect of this game can contact me to take that place.

Hopefully Raiel will sort it out though.

Since no one has posted anything to the contrary, I assume I'm still in and I've submitted my pretender accordingly.

Thanks for your patience... Please be assured that the next available oversized-rodent will scurry in fear from you at the earliest opportunity.

The problem is, both Spumbumsicle and the follow up Spumbumsicle2 have vanished without a trace from llamaserver. They do this once all pretenders are submitted and I assume the game tries to start.

I have no idea what's causing this, but if it isn't resolved, the game can't happen.

[Sombre]

Right, apologies for these two false starts, but I think I have it all fixed now. It was a combination of a space in the map file and the use of autostart.

So first, do this:

(5:11:49 AM) Sombre: Seems to have worked.
(5:11:51 AM) Sombre: Ok.
(5:11:55 AM) Sombre: I'll reset the game.
(5:12:00 AM) Sombre: And I'll let people know.
(5:12:05 AM) Sombre: You need to rename the .map file.
(5:12:23 AM) Sombre: From "NI SixLands" or whatever, to "NI_SixLands"
(5:12:29 AM) Sombre: Replace the space with an underscore.

Once you've done that, you can submit your pretender, as before, to a game called "Spumbum"

[Sombre]

Game has started. LET THOSE WITHOUT HONOUR NOW LUBRICATE THEIR HINDQUARTERS.

BLOOD AND THUNDER!

VICTORY AT SEA!

btw. why doesn't the boards allow all-caps messages?

[Sombre]

Because otherwise the terrorists would win.
