My pretender is submitted too now ;)

I forgot to DL the map before building my pretender. It won't change anything for it, and I don't have to remake it, right ?

The game is indeed up. Was going to post this sooner but family.
Check the "how to PBEM" from the OP for instructions if anything's unclear. There's also a link to the llamaserver gamepage for this round. You can check it for due times on turn submissions and whatnot.

edit:
make sure you've downloaded the map we're using (Peliwyr 1.1). Link's in the OP. If you don't know where your map folder is, check dom4 manual for your OS specific file location.

I've submitted my pretender as well, I think.  It was tricky deciding which of my pretenders I wanted to go with, but ultimately, I think the one I picked will work out.

Chelms seems to be the alternate name for Man, so I guess I'm in.

Alright, finally settled on a name and sent in my pretender. I guess we're just waiting on lijacote now?

Hopefully there'll be some amusingly-named pretenders in this game.

Unfortunately my knowledge of bird-based puns is currently limited, so my Pretender's name is only mildly interesting. Sorry about that. I'll try to do better in the future.

Also, this is why I never win. Oh well!

The moment the lever was pulled, somebody's pet kitten stepped onto the bridge. I read somewhere that if a cat falls more than 11 stories, it instinctively flares its legs out to increase air resistance. This slows it down enough to stick the landing with relatively minor injuries. In Dwarf Fortress, apparently, cats don't do that.

It's fine. You just need the map to actually play once the game proper starts. You could delete your entire map folder and you can still make working pretenders to your hearts content.

Also a piece of good to know info: llamaserver processes the turns in about five minutes once it has all of them. If you're the last guy to send in a turn file and can wait for that long, you can play the next turn right away. Helps keep the game flowing.

Also since there's so many never-before-PBEM folks here: two big no-no's are unannounced staling and going AI without others acknowledgement. Life happens so no-ones pitchforking you for missing a turn or anything, but it's preferrable to ask for an extension if possible rather than to miss a turn. If the pace gets too overhwelming, we can set the turn timer up from the 28h we start with.

There are situations where going AI is ok, but it's usually a one way trip so it's better to discuss it with the admin/people in the game beforehand.

Me miserable! which way shall I fly
Infinite wrath, and infinite despair?
Which way I fly is Hell; myself am Hell;
And, in the lowest deep, a lower deep
Still threatening to devour me opens wide,
To which the Hell I suffer seems a Heaven.

With my final pretender, the game has been started.

D'OH! It appears I made a typo in my admin password so I can't change the hosting period or do any other admin stuff. I already spent fifteen minutes typing various potential misspellings. I mailed llamabeast to see if he can check it for me or fix it somehow.
I figure we might as well play while I'm waiting for his response. If he can fix it, yay! If he can't, we can always start a new game and only lose a few days hopefully.

Sorry about any possible issues this causes in the next few days.

My first turn (and a very silly message for everyone) has been sent!

Is that so~?

Now that I've gotten a look at everyone's pretender names and titles, I can say I chuckled at the Eastern Enigma's last title, Cherry Coke is a foul beverage and what sort of weird freaking title is 'Carpenter of the Insides', Man's Man is a clever sort of name and I have no idea what the hell is up with my own titles.

Yes. CAW CAW I believe it's traditional that everybody sends out silly messages on the first turn though.
