MP Game - Newbie Game (by JDScherrey)

[Norfleet]

There's a few other problems with Aran than mere crowding: Firstly, the map is not terribly well balanced for large crowds, as there are a very large number of very ****ty starting positions out on the peninsula. With 8 people, somebody's going to end up being screwed by getting stuck there with 3 other equally screwed suckers. While the map is great and has a lot of story in single player, it's badly balanced for multiplayer.

You're all welcome to discover this for yourself, though. After all, discovering which maps suck for what conditions is a part of being a newbie.

Just don't say I didn't warn you!

Sorry about this but would it be possible to start the game on saturday instead of wedensday/thursday because I doubt I will be able to take my turn on wedensday, thursday or friday though i might be able to. Also a second question. By humans only you are talking about pretenders right? Would it be ok to use a Arch Seraph?

It's not exactly balanced, but that is half the fun of playing on Aran, is if you get one of those so called '****ty' positions right on the coast. It definitely puts the game in a new perspective for whatever your original playstle is. Which makes it in and of itself, fun to play on.

Every map has it's MP nuances. You'll find them out as you play on them more.

really ? this would be very bad for me . ermor has to take a undead pretender imho .
i planned to take either a PoD or a ghost king .
you meant no computer players right ?

sorry for being so mysterious again. i mean that all players will be humans. so no vs. comps. any pretender will do. this game is open for for any kind of playstyles. it wasn`t when i started to put it up. but then i got some guidance `bout setting up a necomersgame. so now it is.
however, i still recommend you read this thread and the one i`ve previously linked. so you get some idea of what i had in mind when i started to blah blah..

next thursday seems to be ok for 1/2 of us, how about remaining 1/2? the game is still open for a few new people. and theres still one big question. what timezone are you guys an gals from? this little noob is from helsinki, so its 21:15 here and now.
