Special joining rules: For now just state that you are joining and we'll try and form teams as we go along. Nation selection will be decided by, err, I forget the name for this but I'll go ahead and explain the method and if anyone has a name for it we'll go with that.
After we decide a series of teams, from team 1 to team X, we will have team one pick first, team two second, ... etc, until we reach the final team, team X. Team X picks twice, and the selection order reverses, from team X-1 and so on until we're at team one. If our teams are three players large, team 1 picks twice, and we move down the list once more.
The reason I'd want this method is due to disciple games sharing the dominion of the pretender nation, so it makes more sense people would wanna pick nations with more synergy, and I wanna encourage that, while keeping the selection process fair.
Lastly, I would like it if we can pick a second admin for the game to handle extending turns and such.

Skill level: We're going to likely saddle expert players as much with newer ones, otherwise do mention the skill level. This is a suggestion though, not gonna strictly enforce it, but I'll send out warning prompts. Prolly will try and break up an expert player block. It's absolutely fine if this is your first dominions game however.
Safe Turns: For the first 12 turns don't storm a national capital.
(taking this from the last round)
HELP Section:
Uploading Pretenders-FIRST, find a thread on one of the forums with an open game.
-Post in the game to claim a nation according to the game's rules.
-Go to Game Tools and select "Create Pretender.'
-Choose your settings, etc.
-Once this is done, go to Game Tools and click "open user directory." This will open the folder - your data is saved in. Go to saved games, and then go to new lords.
-Send the most recent .2h file in that folder in an email from the email account you wish to use to "
pretenders@llamaserver.net" using the name of the game, e.g. "steamedhordes0" in the subject line.
-Before your first turn, create a folder in "saved games" with the game name, e.g. "SteamedHordes0"
--Remember that you can find "saved games" by going to game tools and clicking "open user directory"
-When the game starts, and every turn thereafter, you will get an email with a .trn file.
-Download the .trn file to the folder you just made.
-Take your turn, and when your turn is complete, hit "end turn"
-Email the .2h file in "SteamedHordes1" to "
turns@llamaserver.net"
-You should receive a confirmation email
-If you do not receive a .trn file, go to your game on llamaserver and request a turn resend. You can also request in thread for a resend.
I tried sending in my .2h file, but got an error message!
First, make sure you are in that game. If you are, there may be one of several things wrong, and llama's email should clarify it:
First, you sent the wrong number. If this is the case, llamaserver will tell you that it is for the wrong turn #.
Download the most recently sent .trn file, and use that to take your turn. Send the resulting .2h file.
Second, you might be sending your .2h file to the wrong email address. Turns should go to
turns@llamaserver.netThird, you might be sending a pretender file. Make sure that the .2h file you are sending is from the game folder. That is the folder you put the .trn file you received into before taking your turn.
