KOTF Signup Thread

[TinCow]

Just out of curiosity, roughly what proportion of the 56 were active after 10 turns?

I was very interested to see how you allocated the avatars, although I hope whatever process Zim uses, it does not take 7 days for players to finish it. I am itching to start writing a story...

56 were spawned because there were 4 family members, thus 60 total avatars, which was double the number of players we had (30 players at start). We then went through a lottery, with priority given based on participation in the previous game (KotR) and in the test game that preceded LotR (this is what we did for avatar priority in KotR, so it was just continuing the tradition). First person on the list got their pick of any avatar, family member or RBG, on the list. When they were done, their chosen avatar was removed, and the second person picked. Rinse and repeat until all 30 players had chosen, at which point all extra RBGs were killed off to bring the avatars back down to 30. It actually worked pretty well and didn't take very long at all.

That was a very good system and something I'd recommend Zim do again this time.

I been convinced to give this a shot, so I apologise for any n00bness in advance (blame TheFlax).

Beskar is guilty, I can tell...

[Beskar]

I am sorry YLC, but I am going to decline your hunting trips if you invite me along, alone. I have a feeling some one will get shot and it won't be you or a deer.

[Andres]

I'm still resisting the temptation to join this one.

When does it start?

[Zim]

Glad to have you Andres.

It starts very, very soon. Just getting the mod together and ironing out some last few details.

Starting characters will be given by the mighty hand of Zim, as has been suggested to me through pm correspondence. For the the many recruitables, though, I'm thinking of doing it like LOTR with people picking by how many sessions they were active for in the previous game... FOr the beginning I will be recruiting more rgbs than needed for the players, so noone will be left with only one choice (later in the game only one rgb at a time will be spawned, however...).

We have cookies, if your still on the fence.

Within a few days, next week I believe.

I think the allocation of avatars could start within days and the first session of Council when that is completed. The first turn of player movement will begin when you see a column of "1"s in this poll:

Well there is a lot of action again in the Throne Room. I guess I have a reason to put MTW 2 back on my my computer. I will have to purchase Kingdoms and ETW isn't the distarction I thought it was going to be.

Sign me up!

Though participation will be spotty till the end of Aug and it's very nice to see some familiar faces.

Yes and another.

[The Lemongate]

Hmmm sign me up. I'll last longer with a more stable machine.

AMG - I was so disappointed when you disappeared

Welcome Back

Can't resist cookie

Sign me up.

[Zim]

Welcome aboard Andres.

As soon as we get the mod cleared up I'll get those rgbs ready. Also pretty much assigned starting characters...

Grrr. The wait is killing me. All this discussion about rules, edicts, and procedures yet I don’t even know the details about my character. *deep breath, exhale*

[mini]

yeaaaaah, let's goooo alrdy !!! :D

[TinCow]

Please do not hold up the game on my account. My current delivery estimate shows up as July 13, 2009 - July 28, 2009, which is annoying but I guess that's what I get for going for the seller offering it at $5 instead of the stock Amazon price of $10. Until the game arrives, I'm perfectly happy letting other people do any moves of my character that are necessary. Most of the early stages will be IC discussions anyway, which don't require the game.

[Zim]

I'm actually just waiting on the mod at this point. Once we get that working we're good to go...

[deguerra]

oh very well...I knew I couldn't resist forever, sign me up.

That said, I'm going skiing for five...I think it's five days as of sunday, so I will probably miss the tournament .

[Zim]

Bwahahaha, none can resist the power of the singup thread...

RGBs should be recruited tomorrow, will you be available to pick one?

[deguerra]

yep. until sunday, i'm all good.
