We're running another Gunboat game - same sets of nations as before.
I have 10 nations filled so far so need 14 nations ie 7 players.
I will create a list of players that you CANNOT talk to about this game when
we get to filling the game. No discussing with potential team-mates nations
before hand please... 
2 nation game - you must play 2 nations. Waiting List game
Nation combos are below - no Easterling nation.
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+17 Fire King+QA, 20+24 D.Lieut+Rhudaur, 16+19 Ice King+ L.Rider, 11+15
Blind + Witch K, 14+13 Cloud+Dog Lord, 12+21 DragonL +Corsair
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
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
