Baptism by Fire (Crusader Kings MP Game)

WE ARE STARTING ON MAY 2ND 0600 GMT!

While I know this is quite pre-emptive, I'm hoping to start a new game for those who want to be "baptized by fire" for Crusader Kings, in other words, learn the game in MP. We'd be using the 1066 scenario, and our start time would most likely be around 0600 GMT Sunday. However, the times are definitely flexible. Mainly this is for discussion of any rules/session times (although inherently very few as nobody outside beta has played CK MP), but sign-ups as well. Also, this is assuming that CK is stable upon release... We may have to kick some players if the CK engine doesn't support more than 8 players, but we'll do it by seniority (veteran/rookie in MP community) and how early you signed up.

NOTE: We have more spots open then appear to be. Names with a "*" next to them are most likely not in. If you are one of them, NOTIFY ME IMMEDIATELY and I will remove the asterisk.

Nations for 0600 Session

Nation (Dynasty)-Player name (comments/Vnet name)

Poland (Piast)-Sterkarm
Byzantium (Ducas)-Roi Soleil (Belisarius)
Kiev-ElimGarak
France (Capetians)-Inri (Fredde)*
England (de Normandie)-Wyvern*
Hungary-Petrarka
?-Ardryn

*Did not show up at first test session and did not notify me of his absence and has yet to do so.

Still deciding between a game with one kingdom with all player dukes/vassals or a game with just kingdoms, but for now we'll go with just kingdoms. We need Kiev. However, you can choose just about any dynasty you want at this point, as long as it isn't taken.

I wouldn't mind getting in on this action (a little early morning CK would do wonders for a hangover :D ). I'd like to play as Hungary or one of the Kievan states if someone else wants Hungary quite badly (an actual Hungarian, perhaps?).
 
Well, the point is mainly to make it so that everyone is on an equal level at the beginning. However, maybe I should make a seperate game for Sunday time with that idea...
 
Any suggestions for rules at all?
 
Taking my title I see. ;)

Anyway I'm interested as to playing. Nation doesn't matter much for me. Although tinking about it, my CK will probably be shipped quite late in comparison, so I'll probably have to join some way in.

It'd be interesting to hear an honest answer from Paradox or from the betas as to whether CK multiplayer (or even CK single player) is stable enough that you won't get a CTD every fifteen minutes.

That's what I'm hoping for... you want in perhaps?

Also, we may possibly, if stable enough, try to have a few kingdoms and then have the rest of the people dukes of these kingdoms, but we'll see.

Well, I'd be willing to play, but neither the idea of two sessions in one day nor the time of 0600 GMT agree with me....

Well, the reason it is like that is because, in my timezone, it's midnight on saturday for the first session and 1:00 PM on Sunday for the second session. Besides, we might be going with just the earlier session anyway and I'd be starting another game with only one or two kingdoms and the rest dukes/counts under them for the other session. But it depends.
 
Yeah, we are going with just the 0600 GMT session, ok?
 
0600=6:00 Am
 
0700 GMT would be a better time for me, but I can make 0600.

As to a nation, well I better get CK first before I decide. :)
 
I am interested, once I have given the AI a chance to kick my tail all over... Then I can give my fellow man and AI the chance to kick it...
 
Depending on whether the engine supports more than 8 players (EU2 only supported 8 originally) or not, we may have to cut some people...
