MP: Orphic Thrench: 7 players needed as of 8/24/09

[Fantomen]

I´d like to play Ulm

[Tam-Lin]

I'd like to play Eriu.

[Squirrelloid]

chrispedersen in a N00b game? LOL.

Hmmm.. this would make game #6 for me. Do I still count as a N00b if 4 of the others haven't finished yet? (And i'm not sure nox should count for anything).

Anyway, if you'll have me, I'd take a stab at MA Marignon.

[Cerberus]

I'm interested. I'll set up an Ashdod Pretender.

Actually I didn't catch that squirrel: Plus theres a lot of players posters I wouldn't count as noob - quitti, juffos, yourself. Still I don't mind backing out, if a new player game is desired.

I think I'm getting senile!

How do you want to define n00b? I mean, this would be my 6th MP game ever, 4 of which are still ongoing, and I've never even made it to an endgame yet.

Yes, i'm good at strategy games in general, and yes, I can read the wonderful guides on the forum and the explanations of the game rules and make good choices. That doesn't make me experienced, per se. That said, i'm happy competing against just about anyone - getting whupped is a great learning experience.

(I'm apparently also good at diplomacy, which is helping immensely in two games so far).

Actually, the most entertaining thing about this so far is the choice of settings for a n00b game. Independent strength 9 is not something I'd think was a good idea for inexperienced players (i'll confess, i'm probably not a n00b at openings anymore). And random events being rare is just a weird choice.

[Warshrike]

Still unable to decide- I rolled a dice.

Bandar Log for me, thank you.

I wonder if I can figure both the monkeys in game and the monkey play without, 'fore the game's up.
I honestly don't see why people play this game so competetivley. It seems so pleasent when it's not all lolmagicrush and mega monster makan gaems.

Without conflict, there is no drama, and thus (for most people, I would think) no fun. Conflict doesn't have to be expressed in a highly competitive fashion. But if the lolrushing and megamakan aren't painfully tedious or painfully uninteresting things for somebody to do, as you suggest they are for you, and if those are the ways to succeed, then people will do those things to produce the fun drama they want.

Those things would be painful for me if they seemed to be cheap. I haven't really seen anything that seems overpowered, though, during my time with this game (at least, not if CBM is applied). Even a "mega monster" has weaknesses!

[chrispedersen]

Ashdod is painfully overpowered.

[Pugilist]

Hey I am interested in Archo if still available...
