That was me. And now that he's finally posted the screen shots
In case no one realizes it. I was chief beta-tester for 6.2 and this strategy never crossed our minds. I've got to Pm gracul and remind him to put "horde" mode back into the mongols for the next update . That'll teach you.
can't agree more with 1.WOT 2.ASOIAF 3.LOTR
Just checked my amazon account.. i've pre-ordered book 5 of ASOIAF abt 2 years ago, and it notified me today that it would ship next week ... finally!
As for the HBO show of ASOIAF: very enjoyable (as usual with HBO) and very true to the books, however not deep enough to fully appreciate the story if you haven't already read the books, you miss a lot of stuff I feel one shouldn't be missing :)
<enter something witty here>
I've been wondering about that. I hadn't read the books yet because I was afraid they'd spoil the show more than the show would spoil the books (figuring the first book would have far more detail, plus maybe some story lines that the show might not have been able to include).

The show wont spoil the books, because the books contain a vast amount of details the show doesnt. Plus, the books are so superbly written, that even though i did like the dialogues in the show, the books still come out far on top.
besides, it's only book 1 which as been filmed, you can still breeze through it and enjoy the next 4 :)
I assure you, if you dig fantasy, ASOIAF is a must read

With all these fantasy fans in the house maybe someone should start a TATW hotseat?

I can confirm TATW works well in hotseat mode. Or at least it did a year or so ago.
I could run one if there were interest. We'd have to decide whether to do it more free for all or split into teams. There are also some factions that were small and surrounded (Isengard) or spread out and surrounded (Misty Mountains)...

i'll prolly read it, but i'm more a pbm kinda person :)
<enter something witty here>
Have you played in a hotseat before?

yes, that's how i know i'm not really cut out for it ;)
i prefer to post a lot on the forum, while keeping ingame activities to a minimum ;-)
I was hoping to find an EB rome PBM here, but alass :)
<enter something witty here>
What is the difference between a pbm and a hotseat? They seem like they would be the same to me.

Maybe he is talking about playing only one faction? I don't know.
Yeah I think what Kogitsune is talking about is a succession game, where a group of players each take control of the same faction for a set number of turns

yes.
people can control a single avatar, or even just roleplay a non-playable character which can influence the real ingame events and stuff like that :)
Like the ptolemai thing going on in the subforum here...
Although everybody participating has an avatar in that game, but you get the picture..
<enter something witty here>
The Ptolemai RPG, Kings of the Nile is great. You should really get involved. Obviously the culture is a bit different but the RP'ing is just as good, as is the gameplay.
my knowledge of the ptolemai is quasi nihil,which would limit my rp capacities i'm afraid
but if i'm bored enough, i might read up from the start and join in after all :)
<enter something witty here>
Most of the RP is in terms of communication and basic historical knowledge. If you feel competent enough to take part in an Ancient Rome based RPG you would definitely be able to take part in a Ptolemai one. :D
Yeah, it's quite easy to get into the rpgs here. KotR was one of my favorites and I didn't know anything about the Holy Roman Empire when I joined.

it's been quiet in here the past few days and all the HS are running late. Is there something going on that I'm missing?

It's not problems, too much is happening.
Well I'm still here. Any chance for a rematch vs the .net? BTW Visorslash in a .org vs .net will you play for us or them? :)

Those final faction ratings looked painful. Go Moors, though.
