New Horizons - Started

I'm in too, I've had a lot of experience kicking Bretty around, and I'm in 2 real MP games now, (as a sub in one though) but that's it for experience playing dominons. Just for full diclosure.

I'm shinu in 2 games already though (and a LA game as Jomon too), so if I could request a reroll if I get them as my random that'd be cool (if anyone has a problem with me passing on a really good nation let me know)

Accordin to private email, i'm Marignon. Thanks.

So how large is the map, what is water percent? I like to use magic, but afraid of someone killing me before i research anythin

The map is going to be a large, random map. Upon receiving everyones gods I will generate the map.

I am waiting for (hopefully) 5 more people to sign up. If you have any friends on the boards, let them know about the game!

I am loathe to ask this, but I've been assigned Pangaea and I'd like to switch. I never played and don't play blood nations out of principle. Any non-blood nation is fine. If a switch is at all impossible, I'll give it a try anyways. I'll delay sending pretender until I hear a word from our host.

Best regards,

Late Edit: Disregard this post. I'm giving a shot at Pangaea and see how it goes. Sending pretender in a few hours.

Pangaea isn't much of a blood nation. You could just not recruit Pandemoniacs, or hunt for slaves.

Sorlakind · #8 January 9th, 2007, 01:26 PM

Pangaea pretender sent by email. I made a mistake with the first one (besides not setting the password) so I resent it.

Sorry about my mistakes. I warned you all I was a newbie.

Best,

sent $subj via email. And asked johnarryn a short timeout to playtest

PS I dislike this musculous low-magic nation and never played it before yesterday

Ok, so I''ve decided, due to the enthusiastic sign ups, to add 3 more people to the 12 i already had signed up. Fal, Ramiro, Cafard, welcome to the game.

At this point, please send your pretender gods to my email address, johnarryn@hotmail.com. Once I have received all pretender gods I will generate our random map and begin. You will receive your .trn file and map files, which you should place in a folder in the "savedgames" Dom3 subfolder. Please call the new folder "newhorizons."

When sending your turns to me, please use the following format for the subject "Nation - Turn X." For example "Ermor - Turn 13." This will help me to stay organized with the large number of players who are participating. Also, I don't plan to be a hardass about it, but please endeavor to have your turns in no later than 48 hours after I send them out. This will be a long, fun game, but we need to keep it moving to maintain interest.

Please feel free to engage in diplomacy in this post and privately, in character or out of character, whatever you're most comfortable with. Please keep things civil.

I would like to stress the importance of taking this game (and any game, for that matter) in good spirit. We may not always get the nation or the start we want, but that's part of the fun. I've never played Ermor before in SP, much less MP, but i'm looking forward to learning their ins and outs, and I hope everyone else in the game will approach the game with an equally positive outlook.

Now that i've bored myself to death: good luck to everyone, and have fun!

Brett (johnarryn)
