Yoda, atilla and grafxfx are hosts.. That is what I meant.

[Gavrushka]

NO! LOLOL.. All new players are hosts.. I have not seen a game go to total annihilation. I say the game concludes and victory is granted if EITHER of an opponents civs are totally wiped out.. The mechanics of the gameplay will make allowances for this and can be discussed in detail later.

All new players are hosts.

[Mathemagician]

but with these players we would also need more than 3 hosts.
i think one host per team is essential.
still there is a chance that if the two hosts in a 2x2 game are the first to die, the game wont be able to continue, right ?

[Gavrushka]

Yes.. for 8 players we would need 3 hosts. With me that makes 3, with filix, that makes 4. Yoda, 5, grafxfx and Atilla 6 and 7!

[Mathemagician]

if i get this right, we cannot afford more than 1 team without a host player, so almost every 2nd player would need to be able to host.

what do you in a game where one player dies if that player was the host ?

[Gavrushka]

Let me try and summarise...

We have the following agreed players

Azrael
Blackice
Quinns
Filix
Rickityclick
Milamber
Mathemagician
Gavrushka

Of these we have two confirmed hosts in Blackice and Azrael. But As I understand we have two or three more hosts about to join, and I will in a couple of weeks run 98 off a new PC

Do we need a new thread for this?

[Gavrushka]

Quinns, Milamber that is great!

Filix, apoligies, cannot host for a week or two yet.. PLUS I got work to do

[filix]

Who have time to play now? I have XP

[Mathemagician]

not wanting to break your heart, steve. i was, of course, just kidding.

[quinns]

What's the matter, Math... Don't you want me to play? You're breakin' my heart!

one hour... that leaves 10 minutes for actually playing ?
