One to go...

Hey, I saw a message from Dunecat for this - many thanks and sorry for the late reply -still getting used to the interface and didn't see the message initially. I am in if you still want me.

Two comments:
1. We've been in far too many games with Centurian lately - and not all went that well :). I'm used to it and don't care - but most people prefer to change opponents more often - so feel free to drop me if you decide so. Or make a second game with some different players.
2. Still reports coming about bugs. The system was very stable before and I'd expect Kestas to restore it to the same level soon - maybe we should create the game on MON - to avoid having a 20-min build phase or something?

Yeah me and Ivo are in both GFDT games with eachother, among other games. So I agree, but I'll gladly hand this game over to you, as I've got enough on my plate anyways.

Oh, no, that's not ok. I don't want to have a 'ladies first' argument but:
1. You were actually first
2. I am in 12 games and you are in 5. Size does matter sometimes :)
3. I'll pass this one - but am available should someone deside to make another game.

Haha, I'll wait a few more days to give Kestas time to fix smaller bugs. I'm in four games right now and I don't want my attention split any more, so we have time before I actually create this game. Sounds like we have:

Dunecat
aoe3rules
Centurian
prsman27
Ursa
MaikMik

And space for one more!

How about we take both the suggestion to wait until Monday and the suggestion to split Centurian and Ivo? We could do it by continuing to recruit players until Monday, and then create two games (if 13 want to play, there will be one of us in two games; if 12 want to play, there will be two of us in two games; etc).



And yes, I know that sounds stupid and pointless. Just a random idea.

*sighs*

...

Bump.

Haha, I'm down!

Pardon?

Let's see if we can get players for two games. We'll keep gathering interest and see what we can do between now and Monday, since there's no rush to start the game yet.

After all, this is a leisurely game.

Roster looks like this so far:

Game 1

Dunecat
aoe3rules
Centurian
prsman27
Ursa
MaikMik
<empty>

Game 2

Dunecat
Ivo_ivanov
<empty> x 5

Oh, I forgot to confirm, didn't I?

Yes, if you intended to confirm. But you didn't confirm, so we wouldn't know.


If there are two games, are we splitting the pot into two 65-point games?
(If anyone ends up in both, I mean. Otherwise it would be irrelevant.)

Alright, I'm confirmed now, but which game is which? Is there a difference?

It's a shame you didn't confirm.


Is it possible my suspicion could be confirmed? Because I think game #1 can be started now, or are we going to wait until Monday?

There's still an empty slot in Game 1, right? Can I join?

Actually, Ursa, the point of waiting until Monday was that there would be fewer possible bugs then. I personally don't mind starting now, but dom't ask me, ask Dunecat.

Waiting 'till monday would be preferable.

Yeah, I'd like to wait until Monday to give Kestas time to fix a few bugs I suspect he's working on.

But here's the roster:

Game 1, 130-point buy-in, 42-hour phases:
Dunecat, aoe3rules, Centurian, prsman27, Ursa, MaikMik, and Onar

Game 2, possibly with higher buy-in (~200) and longer phases (~48 hrs):
Dunecat, Ivo_ivanov, <empty> x 5

Hm...could we have a small tourney here? Maybe top four form the two games and then a wildcard or some sorts for the 7th in the championship? Just a thought.

Oops! I mean top 3...and then a wildcard.

A tourney to celebrate the new version? That's actually a pretty good idea. What should we call it?


*proposes toast to webDiplomacy*
*munches toast*

I like to title my games with references to the Dune universe.

For Game 1 I'm considering "Baby Sandworms," or "Sandbabies."

For Game 2 I'm thinking "Spice Agony."

Can I get into one of these games please?

Prince2, I'll add you to the roster for Spice Agony. I'd like the buy-in to be at least 200 for that one (Baby Sandworms is a 130-point bet), and the phases to be 48-hours long.

Baby Sandworms, 130-point bet, 42-hour phases:
Dunecat, aoe3rules, Centurian, prsman27, Ursa, MaikMik, and Onar

Spice Agony: 200-point (at least) bet, 48-hour phases:
Dunecat, Ivo_ivanov, Prince2, <empty x 4>

LOL.

Who controls the Spice, controls the Universe... errr... Europe.


Can't wait till monday!

Hm....with some convincing I may join the second game...

bump! Got plenty of time to gather people for Spice Agony.

prsman27, you're certainly invited to Spice Agony, but it may not be a good idea considering you are already in Baby Sandworms.

We still have tons of space for people in Spice Agony!
