Preponderance 2 [epic team game returns!]

[NooBliss]

Tho... No, sorry. Team game is too much, to think of it.

[DrPraetorious]

Can we launch next week w/however many players we actually have?

I'd hate to see this fail to reach a quorum of 24 and then fizzle .

I'll be your teammate

DrPraetorius:

I don't think it will be a problem. We may need just 1 or 2 people now And Utopia may end next turn, so maybe Folket or someone else joins.

[Zeldor]

We may have a teammate for namad too. So if I get confirmation from him [and namad] + word from Alpine Joe about teaming with ghoul, we can consider the game closed.

Also, I can make rules official:
- anonymous, no diplomacy
- nations by points
- you need 10/26 VPs to win, as a team
- Ironhawk will be game admin, I will try to get someone to help too

I will tweak the map during weekend, please send any feedback you can, especially on garrisons leading to plains. Calahan found some missing terrain tags, I will fix those too.

You can start picking nations. Remember the rules:
- you pick 3 sets, starting from the one you want most
- try to not repeat nations much in those picks
- if there are ties [even for 1 nation, not whole teams], team with least points total wins
- you can spend 10 points, there is no award for spending less, except winning ties
- same-point ties will be resolved by game admin, with a goal to make everyone as happy as possible [so looking at other choices too]
- you MAY get 11 points to spend on remaining nations if you don't get any of your 3 choices
- remember: Fomoria, LA Marignon, LA Atlantis have revealed starting position, everyone will know where you and your teammate start

Mods - we will use following:
- CBM 1.6
- Endgame Diversity Mod, new version [released yesterday]
- Streamers & Standards
- Single Age Complete
- Banned Spells [small mod banning AN, AC, BoT, Ut] [if you want to have Forge banned too, it's good time to say so now]

[DrPraetorious]

I do not want Forge banned.

BUT I just remembered - we need commander renaming!

Yes, there is some risk that someone will recognize someone-else's commander renaming style. It's also possible that I might name a commander "Priapus of Praetorious" and send him on a pillaging spree.

But it's a small price to pay to avoid the administrative headache of being unable to magic-name your mages.

[Alpine Joe]

I guess I will team up with Ghoul then.

[Zeldor]

You can team with Agent Smith too, your choice. It looks like namad won't be playing. But maybe someone from Utopia will join, as it just ended. Maybe Folket or Gregstrom?

[Hoplosternum]

I would like to join if there is a slot on any of the teams.

[Zeldor]

Hoplosterum:

Namad is not playing, so PM Agent Smith or get on IRC Irc is best. I don't think he got a teammate yet.
