FS 27 Aug

Hello Everyone

The following new games are filling up. (Descriptions of the type of game
follow - please check this when contacting me with regards to playing in
that game).
Waiting List: When I get all 25 nations into the game I will allocate you
your choice of nation from the list of nations that you have sent me -
please send multiple nation choices. All nations are potentially available
until I set up the game.
Upto 2 nation game: You can play one or two Aligned nations, or one Neutral
nation.
2 nation game: You must play two nations.

Bofa: 2wk [Game 4] - Veteran or Beginners game - (Vet: ALL 1650 orders
available): 2 Nations taken. (Please note FP have been upgraded).
1650 2wk [Game 57]: 1-10, 13-18, 20-25 (Also 2 any, 1FP & 1DS taken)
1650 2wk [Game 53] (Gunboat 2 nation, waiting list game): 6 more players
needed.
1650 1wk [Game 135]: 16 nations available
2950 2wk [Game 239]: Email & Postal game. Waiting List. 20 nations
available.
1000 2wk [Game 40]: Probably going to be a Normal game (ie one nation per
allegiance allowed +20% kid/ass). 5 FP, 4 Neutral, 4 DS taken so far. 12
more nations needed.
1000 2wk [Game ??]: Also we're planning a NKA game - it might be a two
nation game - please get in touch.

Note please ask for variant games we can try to get you opposition for them
if you are interested - mostly Grudge teams though - if I get 10 players for
any single type of game then I will put it up for general availability below
and push it;

Grudge Games we need opposition for:
2950: Mark W (most of team) 1000: None 1650: Dave Everett, Simon Tvede
(FP?)
Last Alliance: None WoTR: None World Championship team: None

I have drop-outs available - don't forget you get a free turn for taking
these up...
E [Early] = 0-10 turn, M (Midgame]= 11-20, L [Late game] = 21+ [A= Aligned
if a Neutral, N= not aligned if a Neutral, P = Postal and Email game, G=
Grudge, 1w = 1week game, 3w = 3week game]
Bofa: Veteran (NM - e)
1000: One (l)
2950: Rhun (m,m)
1650: Dark (e,m), Harad (m - n)

Gunboat 1650 game: Nations available
4+22 Arthedain +Harad, 6+23 N Gondor +Duns, 7+1 S Gondor +Wood, 8+2
Dwarves+North, 9+5 Sinda+Cardolan, 10+3 Noldo+Eothraim.

18+14 Fire King+Cloud Lord, 20+24 D.Lieut+Rhudaur, 16+19 Ice King+ L.Rider,
11+15 Blind + Witch K, 17+13 QA+Dog Lord, 12+21 DragonL +Corsair

Please note you CANNOT talk each other about this game. (Nor pass any
information in any form whatsoever). 2 nation game - you must play 2
nations. No Easterling nation.

Rules for this game: Players are allowed to take offensive actions against
unknown characters upon their OWN population centres. In other words, if
Elrond, Erestor and John Smith appear on the Cloud Lord capital the latter
is now a legitimate target for challenge, curse etc by the Cloud Lord even
though the nation of the character is unknown.

List of Dropped nations once every two turns. List of players who are
playing but not nations nor side. No Diplomacy - under ANY circumstances
:slight_smile:
Note Game ENDS (then and only then are the players names revealed) after 50
turns - highest total team victory points wins (unless within 10% - then
draw declared) - Or one side has a greater than 4 to 1 player advantage.

Drop outs can be filled - but we will be discrete.

Individual victory points at end of game = average of your two nations (dead
nations = 400 )

Nations (normal WChamp rules except 21 +22 swopped around, Fort on 1910 &
4217, Easterling Capital with a camp - not to be affected by Players). If
you are playing nations 21-24 you will have a character called: Lead a-d
these are there for you to 175 (correct allegiance) and 740 - no other
orders allowed.

Trust the players not to try and find out who their team mates/oppo are -
and not to diplome even if they come by such knowledge - it being considered
unsportsmanlike. You are not allowed to use camp or character names to
exchange information.

No influencing, stealing, cursing etc on or from or to your team. No
influencing, stealing, cursing etc on or from or to your team. No ass/kid
if you do not know the nation of the character if you are not at your own
PC. If you think it is forbidden by the rules it probably is so don't do it
(ask us for clarification BEFORE the event). If you can provide feedback
that would be very useful - the first game is going very well so we hope to
make this one better.

Thanks
Clint

Message from PBM Forum :

Well, another boring turn for the Corsairs. Wait . . . my navy stopped by a
South Gondor navy in MY coastal waters at 2531? What's up with that? The
Freeps seem to be invading a lot of neutral's turf this turn. I'll try to
ignore this and go on posting my camps. I suggest that puny SG navy get the
heck "out of Dodge" before they find out what a real fleet can do!

-Sanga

This is a very strange message for a neutral which has declared for the
Dark.

Did you reply on the board to it? I know many players read
either one or the other, but not always both mepbmlist and
pbmforum.com...

  RD: Suggestion: instead of making the 1-week game normal 1650, why not make it gunboat? It is after all the diplomacy which takes the time in the normal game.

I cannot reply on the board. For some reason my PC just does not like it.

It's not what the players want as far as I can tell. Do you want to join the normal 1650 2wk Gunboat game Richard?
