Bidding: (SlawDawg77): Do we need to invite 2 more people? Who hasn't responded yet? |
12 May 20 UTC |
Bidding: (SlawDawg77): I'd be open to inviting Dan (Holland in other game) and can be in charge of harassing him with texts when needed. ;-) |
12 May 20 UTC |
Bidding: (KentuckyColonel): That'd be great. I got four 'no's from Italy, Austria and Turkey in the last game and another friend. |
12 May 20 UTC |
Bidding: (SlawDawg77): OK, I asked Dan Judy now. We need 1 more. |
13 May 20 UTC |
Bidding: (SlawDawg77): Or we need to find a 4-5 person game |
13 May 20 UTC |
Bidding: (KentuckyColonel): Or try again in a week. People I asked wanted a break |
13 May 20 UTC |
Bidding: (SlawDawg77): Well, this game doesn’t start for 5 days... |
13 May 20 UTC |
Bidding: (KentuckyColonel): True |
13 May 20 UTC |
Bidding: (Aladeen): I asked two friends - Rick and Garrett. I'd assume one of the two will join. They both should play pretty quickly. |
13 May 20 UTC |
Bidding: (Aladeen): Good. Eichinger says she'll play. |
13 May 20 UTC |
Bidding: (SlawDawg77): I know Ryan said no to the idea, but Dan has been chatty with me on other game to info to join this one. |
13 May 20 UTC |
Bidding: (Aladeen): Cool. I love me some Dan. I just want him to communicate. I didn't think he was enjoying the game |
13 May 20 UTC |
Bidding: (SlawDawg77): Well, we did kick his ass right out of the gate. This map ensures fairer starts at least. |
14 May 20 UTC |
Bidding: (Aladeen): It is going to be hard for me to not have a villain right out of the gate like Steve the Holocaust-denying 9/11 pedophile. |
14 May 20 UTC |
Bidding: (KentuckyColonel): He just loves his southern heritage. And his totally family friendly petting zoo. |
14 May 20 UTC |
Bidding: (Aladeen): For those of you who don't know Steve, he is the worst. He has no chin and acne and looks like his mom paid for her booze by pawning his chromosomes. It would be sad if he weren't the worst. Also, it is 100% true that his family owned slaves in antebellum Virginia. |
15 May 20 UTC |
Bidding: So, how does this first turn work? |
15 May 20 UTC |
Bidding: We bid on which countries we want. If you bid more than other people, you get it. If you bid the same as someone else, neither of you gets it. So you should negotiate with your neighbors to figure out what to take. |
15 May 20 UTC |
Bidding: I've reached out to everyone to let them know the game has started except for Ned (Sparta) because I don't have contact info for him. But he's pretty quick generally, so I assume this game will move quickly. |
15 May 20 UTC |
Bidding: Awesome. This should be fun. |
