Test Game

[TheFlax]

Count me in if you still have room left.

Like TheFlax, if you still need spaces filled, I can step in.

I didn't play in the KotR, but I'd like to try this if I can.

Wow, this is proving popular. We have exactly 16 with me. If one more person wants to join, I will drop out of the game as a player to make room for someone else. though I will monitor it closely and be available for questions. I will close recruitment after one more person volunteers or we reach Saturday morning, whichever happens first. The list of confirmed players, not counting me:

I'm particularly pleased with the mix of new and old players. That should give us a good feel for how well it will work and whether people understand the system.

I am busy tonight and tomorrow night, but I will set up the game on Saturday and it should start then or Sunday at the latest. It will work as follows. I will take the save and use the console to arrange the avatars and armies into a situation that more closely mimics the start of a Civil War. Each avatar will be given a rank and told their House structure and who they are at war with, if anyone. I will assign the avatars to the various players, with a mix of veteran and new players at all levels except Chancellor. The Chancellor spot I will give to an experienced KOTR player simply for efficiency. Private and Royal Armies will be identified on the map, as well as owned provinces for each avatar.

I will create three separate Houses, which will contain all of the players. Two Houses will be at war, with one likely larger than the other. I will give a short IC explanation as to why the two Houses are at war. The third House will be neutral and will control the Chancellorship. The Faction Leader will also be neutral. After the game starts, everyone should simply play it as they want to. Neutrals can enter the Civil War if they wish and the Civil War can even be ended if one side wins or both agree to a Peace Treaty. It doesn't really matter to me. The game will last for 10 turns and we'll skip the Governing Body Session at the end. All Civil War battles will be fought as AI Battles and I will take care of that. Everything else will go according to the rules.

*phew* lucky you assumed I had volunteered otherwise I wouldn't have gotten in...

[Ignoramus]

I would volunteer but unfortunately our computer's recovering from a virus, so I can't access MTWII for a couple of weeks.

Edit: Actually, I am able to participate in the test, as our PC died this morning, and my dad bought a Mac. So with the aid of an emulator, I'll now be able to play MTWII properly.

Just use bootcamp to put XP on your Mac. You didn't get the itsy HD didja?
