My humble noobness is in now too. Will you email us with confirmations and instructions?

Jawohl. Once I have at least 15 volunteers I'll explain the game conditions in this thread. As I said, I expect a few players to not accept them, but I hope there'll be enough left to make the experiment interesting.

You can make changes to your choices until I post the game conditions, but not after.

I would like to participate. This would be my first Dom2 MP game, and first PBEM ever.

If that's ok, I will send my mail and nations later today. A short explanation of the PBEM procedures also is needed once the game starts.

Since NGF will be hosting, you send him your .2h files (the first time: from your Newlords folder), and he will send you your turns as .trn files. You copy those to a folder in your dom2 folder on your computer with the name of the game (e.g.: Experimental_Game), then play your turn, and subsequently mail NGF your completed turn in the form of a .2h file you will find in the Experimental_Game folder. Repeat.

I have sent 17 pretender files.

How do you make the draw for pretenders, if some players just posted 3 files and other 17?

En Forcer · #16 July 2nd, 2004, 04:58 PM

Files sent. 9 Pretender choices entered.

Looking forward to trying this out! Sounds interesting!

Tannath · #17 July 2nd, 2004, 07:34 PM

Files sent today. 14 pretenders.
Waiting for some news

So far I've received only pretenders from the following players:

metanile
Stelteck (only 4, a few more would be better)
Zenus
tinkthank
Balmoth

I still need about twice as many. C'mon people, a recent poll showed that your main interest in Dominions is to play to 'experiment new things'. That's your chance!

Tannath · #19 July 2nd, 2004, 07:57 PM

Nagot, didn't you receive my files?

reverend · #20 July 2nd, 2004, 07:58 PM

Mail sent.

Only 11 nations, if you need more, let me know.

My designs probably will cause some laughter, but I'm in for the fun anyway.
