Lmfao. Any chance we could do a "The Momus" style multiplayer game?

Something like that would be awesome! I don't know if the actual game mechanic could be implemented for an MP game though. Could just have the lurkers randomly decide who declares on whom, of course. Probably best done for a no-diplo game, though. Makes NAPs pretty awkward otherwise, and the wars pretty trivial to subvert. And maybe one with more players :P
Actually that could be a good way of resolving turn split issues for a future FFH Pitboss game, if the lurkers are the ones who get to decide who everyone attacks & when.

Well a Perpentach style decision process would probably use random.org. Every turn there could be like, a 5-10% chance of a war status change, then either another random roll or a lurker poll. Or maybe each lurker picks a new war status then one gets chosen at random.
Btw I created a new gmail to use instead and updated my earlier post.

So, an order like
Ichabod
Bob
Ellimist
Sareln
Mist
would look like it could work. Ichabld, Bob and Ellimist are pretty cramped though, it would be best if you three sat down on chat and agreed who should come after who to make it work best.

The turn order Mist proposes looks solid to me- if Ichabod can't get it to me in his first window of availability, all three of us late-night GMT + 0 guys should be around for the second.
Emails & proposed play order added to first post of this thread.

Really, this game filled up quickly because it's only 5 players, and it started with two slots already gone (me & Sareln)  I'm sure there's enough interest on RB for another game, if you want something more substantial.
Ohhh that could be fun!
And remember you can allways make a deal with the Devil 
Sorry Mist the devil offer was too tempting. Although that means I won't be able to lurk this and will probably have to ignore it for months untill summoned. No wonder Devil players are a bit aggressive... all that time waiting would send anyone mad!

There is no way in hell I would ever pass up a chance to have those decisions in a game. And you know I am the perfect Perpentach.

Assuming that the map is finished relatively soon, how does everyone feel about a blitz-session to start us off, something this weekend?

I'll repeat what I said in PBEM VIII, I can't do weekend blitzes. I can do Mon-Fri 8-13 GMT ( up to 14 if I cut on my sleep time )
