Pretender sent in.  I decided to give Fomoria proper a shot, given that I am playing with their troops in round 12.

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

Okay, just one more and we could get the game started. Also with the final nation decided the following is a list of everyone that is playing as well as what nation they are:


List of Players:
Akhier[Machaka]
EnigmaticHat[Niefelheim]
Hellheart[Ulm]
tompliss[Atlantis]
Elfeater[Eremor]
dennislp3[Lanka]
Delta Foxtrot[Pangaea]
Criptfeind[C'tis]
akirilus[Fomoria]

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

And the game has started

[tompliss]

Wow, started !
Not the worst position possible, not the best position possible. Atlantis has hope !

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

   To be perfectly honest you had exactly 3 possible provinces to start in. Then again you start in the water so we where not exactly going to have to guess where you where. You probably are lucky that the one water province with only 1 other water connection that still wasn't nostart was caught. Knowing how the world likes irony you probably would have started there.

[tompliss]

Eh, it would have been a challenge, especially if there would have been a throne neighboring it !

[Delta Foxtrot]

I got a good starting position, but it could've been better for Pangaea.

Shame we can't see each others' pretenders and titles, it's always nice to ogle at those.

I am the One Playing Niefelheim, I found the game on llamaserver and joined without seeing this topic, I just saw that it was 8/9 players and sent my pretender. I am sorry if I took someones place in this game. the Niefelheim race pick was just a coincidence with EnigmaticHat, i had chosed Niefelheim because Pangaea was already taken.
I would be very happy to continue playing this game, because its my first MP

[Delta Foxtrot]

Sounds like a restart is in order, assuming Enigmatic Hat is still playing.

@econtadini:
You don't just join random games on llamaserver, that's not how it's done.
How things go is that on a forum (here, desura, any other community out there) someone makes a thread for the game. People post and discuss the settings. Then a game is created and people who already posted their interest send pretenders in.
It's disruptive and bad manners for an outsider to just barge in and claim a spot anonymously like you did.

But I suppose it's not obvious for a first timer. You're free to join any other game that will most likely get hosted here in the future, assuming you clearly post in the thread before the game is created.

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

   I must admit this is quite something. I must admit the fact that EnigmaticHat didn't respond to the fact that the thread has had multiple replies about it being started since the subject line changed to "Game Started" is a little odd. I am going to PM him to get what he thinks. Also I would like to get everyones opinions as well.

   Oh and Econtadini, while what Delta Foxtrot said is all true I would like to add a little bit onto it. When you want to join a game on a forum (any forum really) look around it first and post some. Here at Bay12 if you don't have enough posts your titled an "Escaped Lunatic" and until you have posted enough to be a Bay Watcher you would likely be turned away from games. Other forums may have similar post requirements or they may not but at the least by looking around you can get a feel for what the place it like and how the game will probably be.

Finally I have turned quick hosting off and even if we don't restart the game is paused till we get this figured out.

[econtadini]

@Delta Foxtrot

I am really sorry, Thats why I explained everything,I didn't mean to take his place and spoil the game, I just wated to play a MP game  .

someone please contact Enigmatic Hat

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

   Don't feel too bad, it is somewhat annoying for us but you didn't know. Also when you did figure it out you came here and told us instead of silently continuing to play. The first turn basically isn't even done so very little interruption will happen because of it. The game is really fun and a lot of that fun is somewhat locked up in the multiplayer experience. We don't blame you and in the future I won't mind if you join games though as I mentioned above, you should probably take a look around the forum if you plan to do so. We are a particular bunch here.

[Delta Foxtrot]

I'm in favour of restarting so EnigmaticHat can play. If something's come up and he can't play, then I don't really care either way as long as we play the agreed map with agreed settings with 8 or 9 players.

Though I must say I've seen this kind of thing happening more often lately, probably due to larger playerbase. Llamaserver page isn't exactly clear about the fact that it's bad manners to just join any game you see.

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

   The problem isn't a bigger player base but rather a bigger base of players who bought the game without having found it through a forum. I got the game because of Bay12, people now have gotten the game from steam sales and such so they don't have a native group.

[Elfeater]

I say restart
