COE3 Multiplayer Game! A turn a day.

[mr indubitably]

Now that I have a dedicated CoE3 server up, I'd like to have a multiplayer game (on CoE3 v3.15)--the catch is it won't be a blitz game, but we will take turns on a daily basis until the game ends. So anyone who can take a turn each day and wants to play an epic multiplayer game, just reply to this post by Thursday. We will then determine teams, etc.

The one thing to keep in mind is that, as of v3.15, different teams cannot take turns simultaneously, so one team will have to go towards the beginning of the day while the other goes later. Also, when you log on to the server, make sure to play your class.

The 24-hours isn't a hard and fast time-limit (due to multiple time zones playing), but you will be expected to play through the whole game or find a substitute if you can't keep up.

If interested, reply to this post. Also am grabbing players off Desura.

Go go me

Welcome aboard. Still taking people. For a current roster of players (now 3 total), see http://filebox.vt.edu/users/dduckett/coe3_website/multiplayer.html

I'm also interested! It'd be great to hear the reactions of other humans as swarms of wandering wildlife make their lives as miserable as they have mine. ; )

[mr indubitably]

you're in :)

[Deliquint5]

So when we starting? I think I will queue up as an Enchanter, what about you guys?

[DasaKamov]

I'm kind of leaning toward a High Priestess, largely because I think the mythical Babylonian monsters are interesting and cool. But, on the other hand, Druids can summon up an unstoppable tide of killer rabbits...

We can start now. If you can log on to the server: 71.62.179.166 on port 7272

Settings are common cause and clusterstart on a small to large map during random society (for this first game, we'll play teams because teammates can simultaneously take turns, which means we won't have to wait on one another as much).

The other guy playing is in Germany, and is probably in bed :P, but I believe that I can take his slot and give his character a name to get this game rolling. The server is up if you want to join, and I'll be in IRC (can be accessed at http://filebox.vt.edu/users/dduckett/coe3_website/chat.html) for another hour.

[Deliquint5]

Alright we ready? I'll be waiting in the lobby, cause i was at an appointment,

[Deliquint5]

I see you :)

[Deliquint5]

Do you have teamspeak so we can talk?

[mr indubitably]

game changed because we have another player: it is now a 5 player FFA with one jester-level AI added on a large map. Players that weren't present (jaybug) were created on the server (in other words, you're in the game as high priestess and will need to log on to take your first turn).

[mr indubitably]

Alright, the game is now a FFA (because we ended up with an odd number). If you log in to take your turn, the game will tell you whose turn it is. If it's your turn, then it will play like a regular game. Here is the turn order and your player:

* bluefrog500 - 1st turn, team 100
* duhoffmann - 2nd turn, team 101
* jaybug, 3rd turn, team 102
* vladikus, 4th turn, team 103
* ulius, 5th turn, team 104

Also, I am going to use the second server for a co-op human vs. AI server. If you want to play, then post the class you want to play as and the name you want for your player by Saturday at noon.

[DasaKamov]

Ack, I may have effed things up and accidentally set player one (bluefrog500) to an AI player. According to the manual, that change is irreversible; do we need a reset?

[mr indubitably]

haha, yep. I'll try and do so now.

[mr indubitably]

Okay, the server has been reset. IP and port are the same. The turn order is the same, so bluefrog goes first.
