You know what, I'm in. I can probably manage a single game, though probably sans much planning ahead.

Because RB shouldn't be without a bog standard PB game

Mod: RtR mod 2.0.8.1

This is a use of "bog standard" with which I'm not familiar...

Wither Krill's John Handcock?

[Krill]

We've played more PB games at RB on RtR than base BtS so I feel comfortable with that statement.

Hey T-Hawk, want to see how min-maxing human opponents works out? :cute:

[Krill]

I'll throw my hat into the ring once I know the map maker and what the signups look like. Or not.

[T-hawk]

Is that actually true? Wow, I'd never have figured that. Guess you've done something right with the mod after all.

I was actually slightly tempted to sign up last night, but a clearer head today says I'd be happier to stay clear as always.

[Krill]

Well, it's true if you count from when rtr existed, otherwise it's about even.

Could I tempt you with the opportunity to make the map?

[T-hawk]

The last time I made a multiplayer map was PBEM 2, and overlooked that I screwed over one player with no fresh water access. I haven't kept up at all with our modern standards for design and balance. Afraid I don't really think I'm your best candidate here.

[Ventessel]

I'm in.
