In Progress Decline 31: INTERFORUM WARFARE

[Dayyālu]

Thanks Olinser for the OP image, I have no idea if this has a deep meaning or something

The kind people down at the GITP forums have organized a new game, this time it's a LA FFA with randomly generated map (we'll get a working one to avoid deadly starts) and we have the great occasion of joining up for the honour of the Codex. As far as rulesets go, this apparently has the stock ones and the nation pick will be random order after everyone signs in.

It will be a stock game, but it may be interesting to check for a different meta than the usual.

 

[Olinser]

As far as map goes we're thinking it will be random but if somebody has a good one we can use it, but not knowing exactly how many people there will be participating I'm pretty hesitant to pick a map or exact Throne settings yet.

So far we have 7 people from our forum signed up with probably a couple more, current signups:

Olinser
Lord Khaine
Manticoran
The Hellbug
Houlio
Nadevoc (Xenik)
Thrantar

 

[Isiloon]

Sign me up, but not for random nations.

Random draft is okay with me though.

I would also like a Map where the 1/2 the farms on the map are not clustered together.

 

[Olinser]

Well we're up to 6 from the other forum, so that gives us 8 total so far, which is a hella good start for a FFA.

 

[Isiloon]

There is like 6 nations I'd be happy playing off the top of my head so should be good.

That said I think we should ban Ragha because OP - or give it to the most noob player.

 

[Dayyālu]

We'd probably reach 10 or something if we get extra 'dexers, and I too support random draft.

 

[Olinser]

Well there's 1-3 more from GITP that may participate, so if one or two more from Codex join maybe we can get up to 10-12.

 

[Isiloon]

you can always go on discord and get as many as you want within a day.

Olinser will this game use Dominions Enhanced?

 

[sqeecoo]

I'm in! No mods plox!

 

[Olinser]

This will be using no mods.

 

[coldcrow]

I am in if it is NO FUCKING THRONES.

 

[BING XI LAO]

Great, I'm in

 

[Olinser]

I am in if it is NO FUCKING THRONES.

I believe it will be thrones.

 

[Dayyālu]

I am in if it is NO FUCKING THRONES.

The GITS community apparently dislikes LV3 Thrones, so it will be LV1 and LV2 mostly.

 

[Isiloon]

i dont like thrones that spawn shit randomly

 

[Olinser]

Well we're up to 7 from the other forum so that gives us 11, 12 if Isiloon is in, and assuming this is a throne game so Coldcrow is out?

 

[Grimwulf]

One day I'll be enjoyin' my retirement, playing Dominions and drinking merrily.

But right now I gotta work my ass off in the name of Justice Putin.

 

[Dayyālu]

But right now I gotta work my ass off in the name of Putin.

May that day come soon.

Olinser , I guess the Throne options and the random pick have been chosen. You need any assistance with the random map and the random pick list?

 

[Isiloon]

Are you a prosecutor or something?

 

[Grimwulf]

Are you a prosecutor or something?

Aye, smth like that. Representing the government in court.

 

[KoolNoodles]

Sign me up I guess.

 

[Olinser]

OK so between Codex and GITP participants we are up to a smashing 12!

It kind of sounds like any additional people are a bit unlikely, so we'll move discussion on to map selection first. I haven't seen any premade maps that are interesting, but if anybody has a good one for 12 people feel free to suggest, we'll wait a day or two and then I'll just RNG one.

I have created a discord for better coordination between forums but will still be checking threads in both forums:

[Olinser]

OK, so it looks like pick was randomly generated and about halfway through now, although for some reason my phone is acting weird and not accessing RPG codex so i've been unable to post here for a bit.

Currently waiting on Isiloon pick, full order is:

The Hellbug -- MAN
KoolNoodles -- RAGHA
Olinser -- CAELUM
Bing Xi Lao -- AGARTHA
Houlio -- MIDGARD
Isiloon
Dayyalu
Lord Khaine
Thrantar
Nadevoc (Xenik)
Squeecoo
Manticoran

Sorrrrry for late pick.

Gimmi Gimmi ummmmm
