Use of Weapons - New MA game (Started)

[Lingchih]

Any game named after an Iain Banks book is a worthy game to me. It's too bad I am in too many as of now to join.

[Cicadian]

Yeah Iain Banks is great

So, looks like we are just waiting on Shuma to submit his pretender then we can start.

[Shuma]

I'll get it in after work tonight. You guys are fast.

[ketonur]

It should be 24h game and we waitin over 48 for your file...

[Cicadian]

Please get your pretender in. I want this to be a fast-paced game.

[Shuma]

It should be sent, but maybe I made a mistake in sending or something. If there is still a problem, let me know and I will drop out.

[Cicadian]

It's not showing up as received on the llamaserver.

Make sure you have sent an email to pretenders@llamaserver.net with the file attached and Use_of_Weapons in the subject line.

The server should let you know in 5 minutes if it went in. Below is the full FAQ.

BTW I've botched 50% of my pretender send ins.. missing/extra mods, wrong game name, etc.

Firstly, you should only join a game if you've found there's a thread for it on this board, you've read it, and they're still looking for players. Then you should post on the thread saying what nation you'll be. To actually join the game:

- Make sure you have the same mods enabled as the game you're playing in (Preferences->Mod Preferences) although only mods affecting pretender design, such as Conceptual Balance, actually matter
- Go to Game Tools -> Create a pretender god in Dominions. Don't set a password, since for PBEM games they're not helpful and occasionally annoying (e.g. if you need a sub)
- Go to the savedgames/newlords folder in the dominions directory, and find your pretender file (e.g. mid_pythium_0.2h)
- E-mail the file to: pretenders[ at ]llamaserver[ dot ]net
- Crucially, you must have the game name in the subject line of your e-mail

A few minutes later you should get a confirmation e-mail, and if you check the website you should find your nation added to the list of nations which have joined the game.

If later you think of an improvement to your pretender, you can send it in again. Provided the game hasn't actually started the server will accept your revised pretender, and send you an e-mail to say so.

Looks like I sent it in with a bad subject line. Use of Weapons instead of Use_of_Weapons. I hope it works now. Sorry for the delay.

I beg for a 2h prelongation because i don't know if i will be at home too late.
