Re: WallWorld2 - 10/10 - Newbie-Intermediate
 

I'd vote for another map - anything with fixed starts. Random starts may result in very odd (and bad) capital placement for some nations.

In order to be constructive, I digged in llamaserver's map listing, seeking for 9 land, 1 sea maps with fixed starts.

And here is what I found: http://imgur.com/qmvmq

Map's thread http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/showthread.php?t=44078
Comments from discussion: "This is a tournament quality map that will be added to my long list of favorite maps. The idea of having impassable mountains with caves that connect opposing nations is always cool. Every aspect is balanced and well defined. The colors add to defining the territories."

The sooner we start the better in my opinion.

Re: WallWorld2 - 10/10 - Newbie-Intermediate
 

Agreed

Re: WallWorld2 - 10/10 - Newbie-Intermediate
 

That map looks good to me. However, since I'll be dropping serbal from the list, we'll have 9 players, so I'll recruit more. While we're waiting for statttis to say something about his nation, I'll be posting a lookout for 1 player(2 just in case probably).

Re: WallWorld2 - 10/10 - Newbie-Intermediate
 

Howdy Tiav, I'll join as Vanheim.

Re: WallWorld2 - 10/10 - Newbie-Intermediate
 

I was looking for another game to join. To be fair and honest I am probably above intermediate in skill (though rusty since I used to play the game many years ago). I will leave it up to game creater to decide if that is ok or not.

Re: WallWorld2 - 10/10 - Newbie-Intermediate
 

Evilhomer, as mentioned in the other thread, we probably needed only one, but if we need another, I'll be in contact.

Re: WallWorld2 - 10/10 - Newbie-Intermediate
 

Augh, I've stalled again. Sorry my pretender isn't in yet. I'll send it ASAP.

Re: WallWorld2 - 10/10 - Newbie-Intermediate
 

The rest of you, send your pretenders as well. The map has been officially changed to Greece Stain.

Nations joined so far:
Shinuyama
Ulm
Machaka
Mictlan
T'ien Ch'i
Vanheim
R'lyeh

Which means Lunaje, statttis and dark7element are being waited for.

Re: WallWorld2 - 10/10 - Newbie-Intermediate
 

yup.....

Re: WallWorld2 - 10/10 - Newbie-Intermediate
 

I just tried to submit a pretender but it hasn't shown up yet, did we switch mod versions or something?

Edit: Nevermind, I forgot to change the subject in the email. Pretender shows up now.

Re: WallWorld2 - 10/10 - Newbie-Intermediate
 

Statttis is still missing.
According to forum's profile his "Last Activity: 10-17-12 02:46 AM", so he was gone nine days ago.

Re: WallWorld2 - 10/10 - Newbie-Intermediate
 

Yeah, statttis is scrapped. I'll start looking for a new player immediately.

Re: WallWorld2 - 10/10 - Newbie-Intermediate
 

Looks like the replacement had already joined another game.

The easiest choice is to just have 9 players and use a 9 player map. Anyone have an example map?

Re: WallWorld2 - 10/10 - Newbie-Intermediate
 

The Land of Ethereal Squirrels by Elmokki (103 land + 13 sea) will leave us with about 13 provinces per player, including the water nation. Seems a decent number to me, but some may prefer more room for early expansion. Anyway, there is even a version with fixed land starts on llamaserver.

And also a version of the Desert Eye for which Calahan set up fixed starts for 8 lands players and 1 water one: http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/showpost.php?p=807348 Which happens to be our number! About 14 provinces per player, give or take.

Re: WallWorld2 - 10/10 - Newbie-Intermediate
 

Anything will be fine with me.

Re: WallWorld2 - 10/10 - Newbie-Intermediate
 

Everyone, I'm afraid I'm going to have to drop out due to a devastating personal tragedy. I'm going to try to keep playing in the game I'm already in, but I don't want to get involved in a new one. I'm not sure how to go about dropping out, if it's possible please just remove me.

Re: WallWorld2 - 10/10 - Newbie-Intermediate
 

Sorry to hear that Dark. Hope life gets better quickly for you.

Re: WallWorld2 - 10/10 - Newbie-Intermediate
 

My condolences.

I'll post about getting new players again.

Re: WallWorld2 - 10/10 - Newbie-Intermediate
 

Hey, I am pretty much interested if you want me in. I would like MA Pangaea.

Re: WallWorld2 - 10/10 - Newbie-Intermediate
 

It looks very unpleasant towards water nation.
12 available for expansion water provinces consist of two lakes which are divided by a wall of several land provinces.

It is much-much better.

Re: WallWorld2 - 10/10 - Newbie-Intermediate
 

I've sent my pretender and the game started :doh:
I hope I haven't messed everything up ?

Re: WallWorld2 - 10/10 - Newbie-Intermediate
 

Technically it is me who messed up, since the game was on auto-start, despite we still being in the setup phase.

Regardless, at this point I'm just willing to go with it, but it seems unbalanced as Agartha is in game despite his player having just withdrawn.

Hopefully he doesn't have a password, so we can get a sub for him. Or we can just start the game yet again.

I'm turning out to be an extremely poor administrator for the game. :P

Re: WallWorld2 - 10/10 - Newbie-Intermediate
 

Isn't better restart than search for a turn 1 sub? Also, we will keep Greece Stain as map? It's a lot more provinces for each one. I would go with Desert Eye, though current map looks very good, but too much expansion phase for my taste.

Re: WallWorld2 - 10/10 - Newbie-Intermediate
 

Game has been restarted, it was easier than I thought.

Map has been changed to Calahan's Desert Eye.

Re: WallWorld2 - 10/10 - Newbie-Intermediate
 

If you guys are missing a player I would love to join as Caelum. :)

Re: WallWorld2 - 10/10 - Newbie-Intermediate
 

We are GO!

Re: WallWorld2 - 10/10 - Newbie-Intermediate
 

We started already and no one has complained about anything so far, so I'm guessing everything is finally okay. :o

Re: WallWorld2 - 10/10 - Newbie-Intermediate
 

It might serve us to increase the interval some +12H.

Re: WallWorld2 - 10/10 - Newbie-Intermediate
 

Agreed. Changed interval.

Re: WallWorld2 - 10/10 - Newbie-Intermediate
 

Machaka staled twice in a row. User's profile for Anaconda shows he/she was about 5 days online last time.

Re: WallWorld2 - 10/10 - Newbie-Intermediate
 

I'm guessing a sub is needed, then. I'll post about it. If Anaconda returns before a sub replaces him, he can keep his nation.

Re: WallWorld2 - 10/10 - Newbie-Intermediate
 

Cheers All. I am the new SpiderMan of Machaka. Vanheim, Ulm, Pangaea. Did my predecessor have any agreements (or wars) with any of you? Cheers!

Re: WallWorld2 - 10/10 - Newbie-Intermediate
 

I'm pretty sure he was just about to send me all his items/gems ;]

Re: WallWorld2 - 10/10 - Newbie-Intermediate
 

My bad, i was unable to access my dom3 computer(s) and too busy to log in here with other computers available, too. Life was just too hectic at the latter part of last week. Good you find a new spider, hopefully he can rule rock your socks off. I will be sending him my plans in a little bit.

Re: WallWorld2 - 10/10 - Newbie-Intermediate
 

Wow, that was quick! This ultra-express head of government change for Machaka is very fitting to the african theme of the nation :P.

Re: WallWorld2 - 10/10 - Newbie-Intermediate
 

But quite peaceful and friendly!

Re: WallWorld2 - 10/10 - Newbie-Intermediate
 

I got a little too wasted and did my turn, but didn't send it :/.
You're welcome enemies :P

Re: WallWorld2 - 10/10 - Newbie-Intermediate
 

Waterplouf, do you mind......

Re: WallWorld2 - 10/10 - Newbie-Intermediate
 

Seems Pangea is staling.

Re: WallWorld2 - 10/10 - Newbie-Intermediate
 

With one province left......

Re: WallWorld2 - 10/10 - Newbie-Intermediate
 

Yes. Same person is staling in another game that they are hosting.

Re: WallWorld2 - 10/10 - Newbie-Intermediate
 

Hmm, I thought it was looking a bit suspect, but then again I'm an internet paranoiac.

Re: WallWorld2 - 10/10 - Newbie-Intermediate
 

It won't be long until Pangae is snuffed out.

Re: WallWorld2 - 10/10 - Newbie-Intermediate
 

Aye, I apologize for the staling. I had a busy life these days and as I was basically dead, I kind of "zapped" Dominion out of my head.
Still, my apologize. Should I go IA or just wait for machaka and shinuyama to just take the last bits ?

Re: WallWorld2 - 10/10 - Newbie-Intermediate
 

Just don't stale :p

Re: WallWorld2 - 10/10 - Newbie-Intermediate
 

Whatever you feel is the best Waterplouf. If you can do the turns in time, by all means do so, but if not, going AI is probably the option, since I doubt you'll be making a comeback from that situation. :)

Re: WallWorld2 - 10/10 - Newbie-Intermediate
 

If I could get a 12-hour extension, that would be just great. Really don't want another stale :p.

Re: WallWorld2 - 10/10 - Newbie-Intermediate
 

Game has been delayed 96 hours due to player request.

Re: WallWorld2 - 10/10 - Newbie-Intermediate
 

Sorry everyone for stalling the game but I have some RL blablabla going on and I wanna be thorough with my turn. With a little luck I'll be able to send tomorrow. Again, sorry for stalling :/.
