The Zoat · 02-15-2012, 02:35 AM

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand.... Thread up.

Insanowar 10 is going to be going up soon, with one of DC's maps:

Of course, pure combat ability is not the only thing that matters - construction units, for instance, while allowed, will be in smaller groups than other kinds, due to their ability to give you more fighters.

Also, for similar reasons, each player will be getting fifteen picks, in a 2/3/5/5 order. So your first turn, you pick two, then three, and then you get five picks in each of the following two turns.

Due to the low turn-out last time, this game will be going back to the player-adjudicated method that was used in the first game, though this may be subject to change if we can get five players and a GM. (This is also a contributing factor for why people get more, and tougher, things.)

Finally, it's possible that there will be fewer than five players. I've got ideas about this, but hopefully the won't be necessary...

The thread will be submitted shortly, and should be up soon after that.

Well, id love to particapate in one of those.

I would use my favourite font and color, Black Bold Palatino Linotype

C'nor · 12-20-2012, 05:31 PM

You'll have a spot, then.

Zjoot · 12-20-2012, 09:48 PM

I'd like to tentatively reserve a spot. I'll let you know soon if I change my mind so you can give it to someone else...

C'nor · 12-20-2012, 10:00 PM

Your reservation has been noted.

We have three people, now, counting me, so we should only need one more, though two would be optimal.

Penguinator · 12-20-2012, 11:16 PM

Sure, why not? I'll go.

C'nor · 12-20-2012, 11:25 PM

Sounds good, then. I'm going to be messaging a few people who might be interested in being the fifth player, but this is definitely a workable game now, so... Thinking about your picks for when the thread goes up might be good.

usourselves&we · 12-21-2012, 07:17 AM

We'd be interested in joining such a game, if you didn't already reach the number needed, which it looks like you did. that is also why we haven't posted in the thread that is currently up.

Five's optimal, so actually, that would be perfect.

Edit:

Whoops, just got back from birthday celebrations and hadn't seen that Mordokai took a spot. Yeah, it seems to be full, sorry. You've got a spot if anyone drops, though.

Jormengand · 01-01-2013, 03:06 PM

Eh, why not? I'll go in if another game is made.

C'nor · 01-01-2013, 04:15 PM

It's made, but it's already full.

Though Superdark is on the verge of being deemed to busy to properly play, so you might be able to get in anyway.

I meant if another-other one was made, but fair enough.

You are right. I can't think of any ship that would counter the other's choices. He can replace me.

Alright.

Jormegand, you're officially in.

Coolio. I'll get a thing up in a moment. It's my turn to take two choices, each choice can be hero, elite group or horde and they can come from any setting? Do they have to come from an actual setting, as well?

If it makes you feel better, at least your spelling mistake was unique. Most people manage to turn the second n into an r, which makes it sound like Asgard or Midgard or something. And for a moment, I didn't notice the mistake. Not bad for a first time.

Especially at five in the morning.

And I'll do my best to remember that your name is Jormengand in the future.

As for the questions, that's pretty much it. Though with having to be from an actual setting... That depends on what you mean. I'm planning to take some stuff from a headworld of mine that I've posted about on my blog, if that helps?

So, could I, for example, take a guy I've made and posted a lot with, and who I can provide a decent resource on?

Indeed you can.

Jormengand · 01-08-2013, 11:19 AM

Okies, is this still happening? (Posting here so as not to DP the other thread).

C'nor · 01-08-2013, 02:05 PM

Yeah, sorry. I got a stomach bug and then a bone-bruise on a knuckle made it hurt to type. My picks will be up soon.

Coolio. Can we pick out of sequence to speed things up, or should I just sit here and twiddle the Company's thumbs?

Sure, go ahead. We all seem to be picking things that are different enough that sequence shouldn't matter that much.

Jormengand · 01-12-2013, 06:50 AM

Wow, we're all really active today.

Moonwolf727 · 02-25-2013, 04:35 PM

Well I'm not sure how I'm meant to announce this to the thread so please excuse any Faux Pas I may commit but I would like to have a go at joining the insanity, if you would allow it of course.

C'nor · 02-25-2013, 04:40 PM

Basically like that.

Also, I'll be trying to run this again. Hopefully it'll work better this time.

ThePhantom · 02-25-2013, 08:54 PM

It would be fun to have a chance to give this a good. The one I was in never got off the ground.

C'nor · 02-25-2013, 09:05 PM

Nor did my last one.

And with the people who expressed interest over IRC, that brings us to five.

Dammit. I'd like another go too.

I'm sure the game can be extended for 6. Right?
