Platypus: Noob Team Game Full

Zylithan · #1 October 22nd, 2007, 09:52 AM

I have given commands for quickhost to turn off and to delay turn hosting briefly because of the troubles llamaserver seems to be having. I do not believe either command had any effect, however, as the deadline does not change.

Best advice is try to submit your turn (once) anyhow, and just hope when it comes back up it checks all its email before it hosts.

I think/trust llama has some sort of backup system, so I'm not too worried.

it seems like llamabeast have fixed the server, so just turn quickhost back on.

Llamaserver is fixed, and game is set to quickhost again. People should soon get turns.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but don't those little crowns signify "victory locations" and therefore make this a "victory points" game?

I'm pretty sure they are high probablity of magic site provinces, but I'm not 100% certain.

what i have been told is that crowns are victory points, but there is no win by victory point condition

BUT, crowns somehow spread dominion, i think like a temple with dominion 5. maybe someone who knows better can clear this up

Game is starting to get interesting, starting to meet people.

I definitely would redo start positions somehow if I were to use this map again. Having had more time to obsess over the map I value things differently, but I think its all good. I reckon different people would rank different starts differently anyhow. Also, not having scores visible is disturbing, but fun.

Looking forward to some interesting turns.

Also, everyone rocks. No stales yet, and quickly moving turns.

QUESTION TO FOLKS:
How many people here would be interested in another noob team game, perhaps with a bigger map to lead to more late game play? I'm not thinking right away, but could be fun to do at some point...
