MP game - "Pantheons" Started

[Sheap]

hmm

I wrote a little program to do this:

http://benatar.snurgle.org:8080/~fluffy/rng.c

Here is the results:
Team A:
Ulm
T'ien Chi
Pangaea
Arcosnuffle
Machaka
Marignon
C'tis

Team B:
Caelum
Abysia
Vanheim
Mictlan
Pythium
Jotunheim
Man

Since I went to the trouble of making the program you better use my randoms! <g>

outch, our Team B has the cold scales of Caelum, Vanheim, Jotunheim Vs the heat scales of Abysia and Mictlan... we'll have to protect our dominions from each other!!!

any ideas?

You *should* have to protect your dominion from each other. Otherwise you get a bunch of free points.

Thanks, sheap!

You are definitely a geek. Spending weekend time writing a C program for fun to support people you don't even know in RL.

Just like me! Or more accurately, just like the rest of us. I have not written a C program in over 10 years, so it sure was fun disecting yours. I note that you can reuse it for other people with a different RANDMAX number since you put in all 17 races.


I propose we use Sheap's list (with Pickles team is A as mentioned previously), just to prevent arguments. There is no bias that way since Sheap is a neutral third party.
Now, how was it we are supposed to select a nation from this darn list? Shouldn't I know since it was my idea???

[Pickles]

Thanks Sheap
I was unsure if you were wading through the massed verbiage or not (& getting the usual massive impatience that characterise us newbsishes). Of course we would love to use you races

Heh, I read all the threads, even for games I'm not playing in. Since I'm involved in this one I have to read it.

I don't know how Team A is planning to choose their nations, but to Team B:
Please Email (or PM) me a list of all 7 nations in order of preference, your expirience with them so far included, I will then hand out the nations to who I see fit. (Being that Im the leader and all =P)
Also, a suggestion for a Pantheon Name would be nice in that Email/PM.

are you in team b ?

really challenging to chose a good team with our team A nations . your random program seems to flavour team B

haven't you seen enough Hollywood sport movies? the underdog team is always the favorite to win cos they got 'team spirit'.

Depends on what races you like. I suppose since people seem to like Abysia, Vanheim, and Caleum, then by these standards, the B list is better. But they will have conflicting temperature scales as pointed out already. We will not since, IIRC, all our races but one like neutral temp scales. Plus we get Ulm and Pangaea and Arco, which are all quite good races.

Pickles - I don't know how you are going to assign races, but I will take any one of these four choices:
T'ien Ch'i
Pangaea
Machaka
Marignon
This is mainly because I am already playing the other three races in MP right now and I want a new challange. Plus having different races in all my MP games will help an old guy like me keep them straight.

As for Tauren, he said he did not care, but I know he is currently playing C'tis and Machaka in MP so I expect he would prefer one of the other 5 races on the list.
