jaguars4ever Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 I'll play so long as I'm not stealing a seat from a new player. <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
EnderAndrew Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 I think new players are going have to learn something new no matter what, whether it is a standard map or not. Migrant is difficult to read because it isn't color coded, but that could be fixed. The map is a little too sterile however. It does look perfectly balanced, but it would elimnate the fun roleplay of representing a nation.
jaguars4ever Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 So, when are we going to play with a cool map instead of that crummy old one? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Patience Brother Kaftan...soon we will unleash the World War IV map! (w00t)
jaguars4ever Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 I claim Gecko on the WWIV map! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> All we need is 4 concurrent Diplo games with fresh sets of players. Then we finally have enough folks for WWIV - At last we will reveal ourselves to the Commies...at last we will have revenge. Also: Hopefully Laozi will join. :cool:
Deraldin Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 Id say that map, especially as it is not in geographical format, would confuse many newer players, perhaps even myself. Afterall, I, too, am fairly new to the system. Thus, we shall play using the standard map and rules. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Colour coded!
EnderAndrew Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 That is easier on the eyes already. And each turn you can go one step further and color the 8 empires.
jaguars4ever Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 Good News: Laozi said he'll be able to play...the only problem is he won't be back from his flight until Saturday. The deadline for the first moves won't be 'till after that, right Arch?
Deraldin Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 That is easier on the eyes already. And each turn you can go one step further and color the 8 empires. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> My work here is done. :ph34r:
Laozi Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 Well, against my better judgement I'll be joining ya'll on Sat. People laugh when I say that I think a jellyfish is one of the most beautiful things in the world. What they don't understand is, I mean a jellyfish with long, blond hair.
Reveilled Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 Saturday's only three days away. If the OBS-1 players were all to sign up, Archie might be willing to set the deadline for new players at saturday (new players would just replace the most recently signed up OBS-1 player), and then the empty spots are automatically filled with OBS-1 players, and you lot can get started. And then maybe (just maybe) you'll all quit bugging me about shortening turn length in OBS-1. " Hawk! Eggplant! AWAKEN!
EnderAndrew Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 We'll never stop bugging you! But I definitely wouldn't mind getting in on a new game.
jaguars4ever Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 Our purpose is to bug you Rev. But yes, I wouldn't mind a piece of the action.

Well, they're boring, that's what. And there's no reason you couldn't create the atmosphere. Maybe the world is part of a 2-dimensional universe, and the Kingdom of Beton was recently overthrown by a Cabal of Triangles, and now a Linearist ruler named Isolin controls the Equilateral Republic of Beton with an Iron Vertex. :D Hawk!

Reveilled Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 Well, they don't hurt my eyes. Maybe that's because I go outside once in a while. They have this thing called a sun, and that's really bright. You all should try it sometime. " Hawk! Eggplant! AWAKEN!
EnderAndrew Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 The sun is really an alien-controlled slow-acting space laser.

Archmonarch Posted July 20, 2005 Author Posted July 20, 2005 Well, preferably, we wont start until we have seven players. Since I have already gained the acceptance of Darque, Laozi, and Universal Soldier (Numbersman has yet to respond), that leaves 4 spots. Assuming that they were to be filled by OBS-01 players, I would have to have a buffer period for alternate players to join. I think until Sunday would be acceptable. Thus, at the present moment, our players are: Darque, Laozi, Universal Soldier, Ender, Jaguars, possibly Eldar (he's considering it) and _______. That leaves Reveilled, Numbers, and others associated with OBS-01 as alternates. Naturally, Numbers would be first choice should someone drop out, then whoever applied first. Reveilled would be last as he already is involved in two games. Edit: Kaftan has not agreed to play. That was a mistake on my part. And I find it kind of funny I find it kind of sad The dreams in which I'm dying Are the best I've ever had
Kaftan Barlast Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 No, no ,no.. I havent agreed to play. I will only enter another game if it uses another map than the usual one and not one of those horrid "team deathmatch" maps like Migraine DISCLAIMER: Do not take what I write seriously unless it is clearly and in no uncertain terms, declared by me to be meant in a serious and non-humoristic manner.
