Re: FA All Neutral

Hiya all.

I've had a look over the startup info and must say it's a confusing beasty (not enough pictures) Anyway, I'm as ready as can be. The following points need to be addressed, a) How many hands up do we have now? b)Where's my turn? c) brad stop screwing around and get my turn d) Brad I will always be prettier than you, + points a, b, and c above, especially - stop screwing around and get my turn

I've also given Diehard a kick. He's got no excuse to mince around and then claim he never got his invite and whinge about not getting in for this one () I know you're there Keith, extricate fingie and assume the position for that disciplining you just know you've got coming to you

Cheers

Re: FA All Neutral

Hi all

Had a talk to Ruggha today and he's advised that he doesn't own this one so if we're waiting for him to organise it we could be waiting a while Does someone want to collect the names and see if we can get it going or will we consign it to the scrap heap?

Cheers

Re: FA All Neutral

Hi all
Drukarzun is correct. Here's the response from Rob

'The new 4th age game is an all neutral variant, all nations are
neutral and can't change allegiance. The +20% K/a sna is not allowed
people can work together or fight as they wish without any formal allegiances'.

It is now filling if you wish to play the game - register with Rob.

Cheers

Re: FA All Neutral

Dumb question, but this is separate from the recently-filled FA game (41 I think), correct?

Re: FA All Neutral

Hi Darrell - yes completely separate game. I believe the other was a no NKA game. This new one is no NKA plus all neutral game. YOu can enter solo or as a group, but it is all neut.

Hope that helps

Cheers

Re: FA All Neutral

Just checking but I thought this was a LAS (ie no +20k/a but k/a allowed) game rather than a NKA game.

Hi Zanussi - check message #47 for the cut and paste from Rob at MEG. I may have reported it wrong? #47 is the correct formula

Re: FA All Neutral

Hi all

Got an e-mail back from Rob tonight. He's in the process of setting up the NKA game just filled. When he's finished that he'll start work on the all neut game. There appears to be some confusion at all points to the separate identities of the two games with it being unclear as to whether players are signed up for NKA, all neut, or both. Rob will be chasing it shortly I dare say, but in the interests of reserving your position and speeding things up, it may well be worth dropping Rob a line to confirm you wish startups in the all neut.

Cheers

Re: FA All Neutral

Hi all

e-mailed Rob again. He advises he's been off work but he's now back and NKA should be prepared shortly. I'm guessing that involves the 25 players nominating and being alotted regions, then submitting nation sheets before the positions are created and the turns run? Probably a big effort (though I've never played FA). Following that, we're on.

Cheers

Re: FA All Neutral

Hi Morgulhammer. This from Rob. I wouldn't hold it him to it with much conviction as he's been sick and there's much to catch up on. Rather it tells the tale of NKA being on top of the pile. Hopefully you will have your start soon...... and then I can get mine

Cheers

Gixx,

Don't know if you'll see this or not.

I echo the words of my brother. My prayers for you and your family will be daily.

There aren't words for what you face. Just know that God walks with you through everything you encounter.

take care,

Re: FA All Neutral

Gixxxer,

My deepest sympathies for you and your family right now in these dark days. We haven't played together for awhile but I look forward to the time when we do. As they say "Time heals all wounds" take your time and just be with your family and close friends. Your MEPBM friends will all be here waiting for you to return. I am very sorry for your loss.

Respectfully,

Douglas

Might be worth all reconfirming with Rob just to make sure you're still on the list and haven't slipped between the cracks.

Aaah crap Gixxx. I'm really sorry to hear that. There's nothing we can say to make that better other than to say that you and your family are in our thoughts (and prayers for those of us with a religious bent). I hope you gain some measure of comfort from the regard of those around you.

Cheers

Rob

Re: FA All Neutral

Hi all

I e-mailed Rob overnight and he advised that 18 positions are taken (including Gixxx). We need 21 or 22 total (he's not sure which right at the moment) to be able to meet the programming parameters. Is there anyone else out there that wants to try an all neutral FA game, or anyone who might know someone willing to give it a run?

Cheers

Yeah I got an offer something like that from my wife years ago. She's never quite recovered from the downside of the bargain

I suppose an alternative is that I could buy the other 4 positions myself but I'd probably wind up picking a fight and beat up all my own nations

Cheers

Re: FA All Neutral

I got a reaffirmation email so it looks like this will set up soon.

I'm excited and hope we all do our best to have a ball.

Here's a challenge...why not all players take whatever region instead of picking one? could be a fun twist.

I don't recall if there was any discussion about joining with a team or not; I don't even remember if my crew joined with me or not...haha.

Re: FA All Neutral

Hi all

Had a reply from Rob. He's advised that with the long time this game has been on the boards some of the players have pulled out. We're down to 18 players ready to go. He needs a few more and is approaching other players. If you know someone looking for a game, get them to look at this one.
Cheers
Rob

Re: FA All Neutral

I've just signed up for this game, as it looks like one of my current games is drawing to a close. According to Rob, after putting me on the list there is one open slot left.

This will be my first FA1000 game.

Re: FA All Neutral

So who is in the game after all?

Can we discuss placements and such or is this the quiet time?
