[Entek]

Good game everyone! I’m in for the next one.

[dawgoneit]

[captainwalker]

@dawgoneit
we need someone to replace Colt with…does anyone know anybody who would like to play?
We could actually have two more players…

[dawgoneit]

@captainwalker what about VictoryFirst

[captainwalker]

@dawgoneit ask him and see if he would like to play

[Elrood]

@redrum : what about you, Ron? I see this game is your only activity in this forum… will you be in for a next one?

[redrum]

Yeah, I’m in for another one.

[Karl7]

@redrum

I can see if Gargantua wants back in. He’s playing some games these days

[Elrood]

@Karl7 That is good news. Have not heard from him since XDAP 2 Tournament

[captainwalker]

@Karl7 yeah…see if he wants in!

[Karl7]

@captainwalker @Gargantua

[Gargantua]

@Karl7

MAKES OFFICIAL MONKEY SOUNDS OF APPROVAL

[captainwalker]

@Gargantua good to have you back. I think we have everyone on board now so I’ll get things set up.

[captainwalker]

ok…so we have
captain walker
dawgoneit
Elrood
Entek
Gargantua
Karl
Redrum
Witt
Maybe Victory First

Powers will be for nine players:
UK
US
Germany
Italy
Russia
Yamato
Hisaichi/ Thai
Anzac/Dutch
France/China

If Victory First doesn’t sign up then France and China will be split up and given to other allied powers.

[Witt]

@Gargantua glad to have you play with us . Have missed you !

[Witt]

Guys, Do you think 8 players might suffice ?

[Elrood]

@Witt This game can even be played with two, so yes!

[Elrood]

@redrum since you are a developer and know your way around the engine… is there any reason not to upgrade to the latest Alpha Version?

see: https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases/

The stable version creates more and more issues imho:

• no automatic forum posting
• in NML the auto roll for Victory bonds fails eventually (in NML mod)

So, if there is no reasonable argument against it… I suggest we all update, if not already done by some.

[captainwalker]

@Witt I’m waiting to hear back from Victory. After he replies we’ll know how many players there will be.

[redrum]

@Elrood Generally speaking any pre-release is not tested as much as stable so could have issues but I’m not aware of any. The biggest challenge is you would have to have everyone move to the same pre-release version which could cause confusion if they have other games using stable or a different pre-release version.
