View Full Version : Twelve by High Magic - New Mosehansen Game - GAME FULL

I've created a new game on Mosehansen as a sort of alternative to the magic-poor games there currently. This game is to be my stress-relief during Finals, so please adhere to the below rules if joining:
* Reserve your army by this thread. Do not steal spots.
* No early drop-outs. If you're going to play, commit to playing through the first 30 turns.
* Give 24 hour notice before botting. That way, if a human player wants to take your place, they can. I prefer humans to the AI in all cases.
* Drop the occasional post here with some flavor, be it role-play, trash-talking (within reason, of course), or just commiserating about how awful your Pretender is.
Settings:
Sites: (edit) 55
Research: Easy
Richness: Rich
Indy Difficulty: 9
I've yet to decide who I'm playing but will post here shortly with my decision. Enjoy all!

By the way, do not start the game. I will get her running as soon as we have twelve players.

I am now in as Marignon.
Victory Conditions, btw, are 8 capitals of 12 wins the game. Should run a little longer than Sweetback did. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

Heh. Mmm, I'll give Pythium a try.

Machaka's now claimed by my friend Julie who doesn't frequent these forums. She'll upload her Pretender in a sec.

I guess I will play Jot since someone wants Ctis.

I'd appreciate it if the players of Man, Ulm, and anyone else who joins without RSVPing first would post here and let us know after the fact. I'd like to be able to roll-call, particularly if someone goes AWOL.

hmm, I guess pythium
also, the mosehansen page says magic 55 does it not?

ahh, caine already called pythium. I'll try vanheim out, then.
Vynd
April 20th, 2004, 02:11 AM
archaeolept, now you are shown as playing both Pythium and Vanheim.
archaeolept
April 20th, 2004, 02:26 AM
yes, because I see no way to change the name on mosehansen.
I went there first, took pythium, then checked the thread, but caine had already called it.
Anyways, I'd rather try out a new nation.
oh, caine and I have been in communication, so there's no confusion.

I want to play too. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif I will take T'ien Chi. A Pretender will be sent shortly.

My girlfriend Leigh has decided to join us for her first MP game. She'll be Pangaea.
Be nice.

Well, assuming Vynd and Graeme upload their pretenders, that makes 12. Game is now closed. No new applicants please.
We'll start as soon as we get all 12 people uploaded!

I've just uploaded. It's getting late over here, though, so I doubt you'll be seeing any turns from me until tomorrow morning. What kind of timeframe are we shooting for with the turns, anyway?

I'd upload my pretender, but I have no way of determing what port the server is on as I can't log into the web page.

as requested i'll let ya know that i'm playing man.
sorry that you wanted to RSVP it but you should put that in your description. I just log in to mosehansen, see an open game and jump on it.

I figured the "see thread" would cover it, but I'll stick RSVP in there next time. Thanks for dropping the line.

Sorry but I seemed to have mistyped my password. I always use the same password and I have tried about 50 different Versions and nothing works.
Don't know what you want to do.
JaydedOne
April 20th, 2004, 06:32 PM
Well, we're still in Turn 1, so I'll stop the game and ask Ebsen to restart it. Overwrite your Pretender and we'll get moving again.

April 20th, 2004, 07:14 PM
ok
archaeolept
April 20th, 2004, 08:05 PM
hmm. could you let us all know? I forgot to set a password myself, and so would like to re-upload
thnx
edit: oh, I guess this means we have to all restart?
that's fine. I'd rather delay a day and have a group of hopefully committed players anyways.

Meh. Maybe we can get a bigger map, too. Starting within flight range of somebody else's capitol is unpleasant.

April 20th, 2004, 09:04 PM
well, you could easily solve that problem yourself by not taking another Vampire Queen

Which makes it way too easy for "rushers" to attempt to stomp their neighbors - don't even need to scout.
Also makes it easy to see that you're kinda screwed, with 2 capitols only 3 provinces away (ie, 2 inbetween - flight distance) and another 1 only 4. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif
That's something I'd love to see addressed in a patch - capitols should be invisible VPs and not have the big bullseye on the map for everyone to see.
archaeolept
April 20th, 2004, 11:02 PM
doesn't the mose server have an option for total vps, but not capitol?
ie vp sites sprinkled around the map.
I'd prefer that, definitely. then the map size would be about right.
Vynd
April 21st, 2004, 01:34 AM
I'm fine with whatever other folks would like regarding the VP set up.
Vynd

Any idea when this game might get restarted?

Not for a while unfortunately. It appears the Mosehansen server is at capacity currently.
Bad luck, no diggity.

Otherwise, the games stopping, not restarting, some restarting 4 days later when people have given up on it, gets too frustrating.
I love what he's done for "us" the Dom2 community, I appreciate it a lot, but....
When's Shrapnel going to host a server like mosehansen for Dom2? Not like it'd take more than a $200 box for like, 30 games.
