MindWorms in Mist (preliminary)

[Keygen]

Hi guys, I will be your CMN. First time but why not . For any question email me at costas_ctp@yahoo.com.

[Keygen]

Haven't read the posts yet .
When do we supposed to start?

RE: Turn posting times,etc.

I can commit to posting a turn a day, but it will be hard to say what time of day I'll be able to get to it. Sorry if that throws a wrench in the works.

Have to say I'm stoked about playing against people (I trust none of you are AI). It gets so predictable against the game brain.

And did we ever agree on all the rules, settings, etc?

[Solver]

Keygen, I expected a much longer post from you.

I do not think so but we got to a point where most of us said "pick something" so we can start playing. I made a lot of comments on settings but will play any world, any faction-- so lets get going here !

[DrFaustus]

Sounds good.

[Solver]

We start when you read the posting and start the game .

I wouldn't recommend random factions as in a couple of tests I did Sister Miriam was always one of the random factions .
If you don't know any of the above settings or rules just ask or if you feel they are too many to be asked just ask in those you are more interested about and I will feel the blanks.
As soon as I get your answers we will start.

One comment. Perhaps for the sake of efficiency next time it would be easier if the person setting up a game starts out stating the settings under which the game would be played. These would be changed only if it was clear that there was some other clear preference. I appreciate the opportunity for input but am more interested in just getting playing.

I also appreciate the work that people expend in setting up these games but am just trying to avoid these lengthy set-up discussions. Once Keygen gets all our preferences he will likely be in a situation on many of them where 2 players want 1 setting, 2 want another and the fifth player does not care. There are too many options to expect unanimity so my vote is that Keygen just start this (flipping a coin on any tied options LOL).

Oh-- I will play a huge map if that is what the others want and my factions were also listed in order of preference.

[Solver]

I'd play any difficulty, Transcend won't harm me.
I'd like all types of victory allowed, no random events, exploring required, directed research, pod scattering on, do or die on. For other rules, I'll play with what you decide. Oceans should be average, in my opinion.
Keygen, you already know my leader name - what I'm using for last 8 months . Factions, in their order of how I like em:
1. Zakharov the Wise and Drone-Plagued
2. Aki-Zeta the Cybernetic, with Iron Body (Iron Lady)
3. Morgan the Rich (son of Bill Gates)
4. Svensgaard the Swimmer, coming from Captain Nemo, the merciless guy with long hair.

Never actually tried 3 or 4 in multiplayer, so might want to do this. I think extra units should be: 3 scouts for land based factions (+ worm for Cha and probe for Roze, of course, if we have them), 1 extra gun foil for Svensgaard, if we get him, too. 3 would be surely too much.
And Keygen, if I happened to be Miriam, you'd be nice to give me someone else, right . Otherwise, you get banned from Apolyton!
.
And, of course, rated. I have ratings for everyone here. Faustus is thus far Librarian, as you told me. With all great respect, I see that I start to make out the newbie stuff here, making them play, not only bother in higher echtelions of Apolyton. Go, go!
.
What a terrible post by me . Had to sleep a bit more...
