And are the USA and Austria opening embassies? I realise it hasn't been very long since the roster was published, but a lot of diplomacy has already occurred. :) Would be nice if these countries were available to participate.


Austria especially, since shit gets real in Europe since day 1, so I guess it's a good idea to know where we stand before we begin playing.

I was also wondering at what speed do the MP games play (from 1 to 5, I mean) and under which circumstances does this change, and how many years pass in the ~4 hours of weekly play. I don't think I've read anything in this regard on the rules. In other words, since the game lasts 100 years if I'm not mistaken, how many sessions does the game last. I'm thinking 4 or 5?

I mean because I suppose there isn't that much interaction from places like Japan and USA/Mexico with Europe before the very end of the game, and definitely almost none before 1880-ish; while we will have like 10 or 12 human players in Europe so things will play very actively, at least diplomatically.

We do speed 2, speed 1 during player wars. It's more than 5 sessions.

Japan: Ugh.

If USA and Austria don't post embassies soon, we'll have to replace them with people who have lesser countries currently.

LotusSlayer,

Can I still join? I noticed some of your players have not posted embassies. I can do this today if you give me the go ahead. I've posted on the forums for a few days trying to find out if I can still fill in one of the spots. I'll go ahead and send you a PM as well.

Hey, I wasn't ignoring you, I was just trying to decide whether Belgium or a South American country would be better.

Apperantly, our USA says he can't join anymore, so that leaves the very important country of the US open.

If you wanna be the US and take on the responsibility, open up an embassy asap, if not, tell me and I'll give you another country.

I'm getting UUVQ as the checksum with the AOD Mod loaded. Can anyone confirm?
Offline Profile Quote Post Goto Top
 
Magister Equitum

Field Marshals
That is the correct checksum. However, Lotos has said that he will be making slight adjustments to the mod. (So I suspect the checksum will change.)

Also, since two players are celebrating their birthday's tomorrow, the GM announced earlier that the first session will be postponed until November 1.

@ LOTOS: Can you please clarify if we will be having a TS meeting to discuss rules, questions, etc. with players tomorrow during the scheduled game time?

We will have a test session tommorow, information on the new thread.

Please be there, it'll only take 10 minutes or so, just to see who shows up and to see if everyone gets the right checksum.

If anyone is confused about the time, tommorow morning I will post saying how much time until the session start(from my post, the time posted is shown).

The test session, is 4 hours from the time of this post.

Wanted to post earlier but I woke up late, but hopefully everyone who wasn't sure of the time sees this in time.

So it is confirmed they were an hour late, and not us an hour early?

We should just agree on a single time zone as reference.

EDIT: for instance GMT, or EST. That way everybody can google the time zone and know how many hours for the session.

I dont have time to look for a sub, so if a sub could be found that would be great. I doubt there will be though.

Yeah I just posted something on the forums, since its such short notice I doubt it will lead to anything. Again I applogise for all I have been very busy this week, so I havent been able to look for it.

From the time of your post it is: 4 hours, 15 minutes. I would advise though to come into the teamspeak room 10 minutes early so we can get a good head count and also discuss anything that needs to be cleared up before the session begins.

Yup.

Hope to see everyone there(except Otto who has told us in advance he can't come).

7 PM EST.

@ Lotos: Can we have a "Save Game" thread where the save game files are posted at the end of each weekly session?

(Here is an already uploaded copy of this week's save game file: http://filesmelt.com/dl/mp_North_German_Fe...1848_12_04.zip


Question: Why, when writing to someone over the internet, has it become somewhat of a convention to use the at symbol? (Consider that it takes as many key strokes to type @ as it does to type "to".)

I made a new embassy given the unification of Italy. The old one should probably be deleted.
