Replacement Needed for: The War of the Five Houses

geoschmo · #1 February 14th, 2006, 02:49 PM

One of our players has withdrawn. The House of Xarthus needs a new leader.

I will be upfront and tell you that this particular empire is in last place, but that's not as bad as it sounds. The five houses are all behind the AI players still. The Xarthus are not getting eaten up as far as I can tell. Thier empire is intact. They are surounded by AI, but we all are.

The game has not yet gotten to the point of open conflict between the houses. There have been some border skirmishes between AI and a couple of us, maybe all of us at this point. There have been some disagreements over territory between humans, but nothing that has caused any conflict that I have been notified about.

Anyone interested? I'd hate to turn this spot over to the AI. The game was kind of designed with the idea of five human players and giving one to the AI at this point could upset the balance.

I *might* be able to take over. I'm still trying to get a feel for my schedule this semester. And there will probably be a few times where I'm away for 3 or 4 days, so I might miss a few turns.

Probably better to get someone with better availability, but if it gets to the point where you either really need to get a player or turn the AI on, let me know

So is anyone interested besides Will? I'd like to find someone that can play regularly. Turns are set to 72 hours, so it's not like you would have to play every day. On the other hand most of the turns so far have been pretty quick, so you don't have to worry about the game going too slow. The other players have been keeping it moving well.

I'll take it so long as it's not hopeless.

Nothings ever hopeless.

As I said, the player is in last place, but it's not that far behind the other human players, and we are all behind the AI. The idea is we are more or less cooperating against the AI, but it's not a strict team thing. It's more of a gotta have allies to survive thing. At some point if we can beat off the AI I fully expect the long knives to come out.

If you want the spot, go to PBW and apply to join. I'll approve you.

Would you care to extrapolate? This sounds interesting.
