We now have 24 players ! ! !

The following players have not joined yet..

Hack n Slash chickie
CREST
Gueritol

...CREST and Gueritol were on today.

If they join we are FULL for 4 teams of 6 and only ONE short for 5 of 5.

Hack is MIA... D~S will need another member and a merc..

Any other mercs looking to play PM me or Jmac.

I like the 4 teams of 6 ideal better, that way its sort of even instead of a 5 of 5 I think would result in harder way to co-op clan or team mates.

not sure if my opinion matters in this game since I was in 3 camps already before the thing started... but I dislike the 4 teams of 6 just because the 1 neutral player is bound to get screwed over... that or align with someone and thrown off the balance. fill it up completely and split it evenly

also I think my closest camp to finishing is still like 4 days (it's on turn 93/100 in 2T/day) and the players will not vote for an end game even though there is NO way that the standings will change before the game ends...

i like the 4 teams of 6 and the neutral can be the ref. lol but i hope the game starts soon.

I like the 4 teams of 6 too, but unfortunately it isn't possible. Just think to yourself if you'd want to play a team game by yourself while everyone else has a team and can play. If we did 4 teams of 6 inevitably that last guy would join some team even if it is unofficial.

He will be the same as an inactive player, anyone may move through his island, but his resources and castle are off limits to all players. He will remove the towers and barracks and after the inital turns he will remove all units except one comm that will not leave the castle.

The 25th player is a clanmate that is only able to log in every two or three days due to his holiday schedule.

Hi everyone.

I can play the neutral/hardly-moving guy.

If I understand well, i need to connect from time to time to move a poor lonely comm so that the wind comes into the flag he's carrying from the good direction... and not become inactive.

That's a tough challenge but i may have some success...

That still raises a question to my mind. Is it fair to have the nuetral guy next to your castle? One less enemy sure, but you also can't expand in that direction. Having a nuetral castle in this game will just unbalance the game far to much in my opinion.

The players near the edge and in the corners also have less options for expanding. I will keep looking for another player, but Coop if you really feel that way you should RECRUIT ANOTHER PLAYER!!!

I would love to do 5 teams of 5, but this is a game and I had to recruit half of the mercs myself.

If Hack & Slash chickie, Gueritol, CREST or their replacements join before we get another merc, we will play with 4 teams of 6.

If ANYONE recruits another merc to play (remember he might be on your team), we will start with 5 teams of 5 players.

Unfortunately I don't know another player who would like to play due to my recent hiatus from the game.

A question someone might ask is why have Aetherik voluteer as a nuetral guy when he could just actually play? Perhaps there are time issues i'm unaware of, but one thing i'm fairly certain about is that i don't think i'd even play a game where one guy is guarenteed to not even participate. It's bad enough when people go inactive in a game, but we don't need to play one expecting a person to be basically an inactive.

The players on the edge do have less options, but that is the nature of the game. The game isn't designed with inactivety in mind though.

All these messages of 5x5, or 6x4...what are the teams in that scenario? Will you be posting those?

Coop I don't know what to tell you, I am trying to make twenty something players happy, 4 teams of 6, is still 4 equal teams, you are one of the smartest players here, you are on one of the strongest teams here, I am doing everything I can to make this work, if you are not able to play because its 24 players instead of 25 players, then we will find another player somewhere.

Neb the teams are posted but you have to go back a page.

If you want to message me I can tell you who recruited who and all the details, as soon as I can.

I think you misunderstand my thoughts. I don't care about winning or how good i may be at this game or even how good my team would be. The only thing i care about is playing a fun game. I just believe this game would suffer from having one player missing and that's what i said. Even though i'd prefer not to play a game such as that i know you need me in this to even have the 24 players. Finding another player doesn't seem to be an option or else we'd have the full 25 just as easily. So don't worry i'm in this, I just felt like saying what i felt for once. :p

Well said Coopels lets get this game started I could have played another game by now with all this debating next game if next is possible I do believe it should be at least 5 of 5 the neutral player doesn't seem right all players should be active and playing here (clan games) maybe use the oddball player as a hadicap? The team with the lowest camp. rank gets him even if that player can't login as often would be fine.

Well we are really waiting on hack & slash chickie, gueritol, and crest.

D~S is trying to find a replacment for chickie, crest and gueritol have been on but not joined the game yet.

Never expected we would hit a certain number and have so much trouble finding players who wished to play.

I would like to thank everyone for their help in pulling this game together, my partner in this one has been away for a few days and others have been trying to take up the slack.

These things always take a long time to get going, don't despair. It is the holidays, too, so that slows things down.

It'll be fun!

-Endimion- contacted me last night, he says he would play as a merc for gueritol, because they both speak spanish.

Hey Coop & forum posters,

i first proposed myself to be the neutral player just to fill a gap, and because of holiday time as you guessed. I now know I will be able to connect properly even if not at home. That's the whole story...
Sorry I didn't have the time to add my stone to the merc camp building. A big "thank you" to all who are making efforts with good will spirit towards that goal.
