The Waiting Game

For those who have had several hires stacked up, it's pretty fun to hire them all at once. So let's go bigger.

50 hires, 37 days. (Actually now it's 25 hires and 19 days to avoid technical issues.)

The rules go like this, After everybody has joined, there is no taking outposts and no hiring. (You can move subs around within your starting territory I guess.) Then wait until everybody gets to 49 hires. At that point, you can start taking outposts, but be careful, because as soon as the 50th hire hits, everybody must hire all 50 specialists, and the game continues as normal, except everybody has super-powered armies.

It's an incredibly long time to wait, even in subterfuge time, but since there's no work needed, I don't think it would be a huge deal.

Would anybody play in my ridiculous game?

Players
-Blobs
-Rooz
-Nojo
-Max
-Menace
-Math
-TK
-Niv

Wow, this filled up fast, I was expecting a hard sell.

Its not ridiculous but smart and fun but 2 main things that I want to point out .
1- there is a game serries named cold wars , which has basically the same rules .
2- waiting that long and stack too many specs (37 days!!) can make the game crash

I would play if it's possible. Cold War like game, but larger. Though you have a problem. When you are in games that last more than a month, it starts to crash. ESG4, for example. It was a log domination game, about a month in and people autoresigned because a they couldn't even open the game. Tone it down to 25-30hires and I'm in. Well I'm in anyways, doesn't hurt to try

Wow, I'm actually in a game that's at 29 days at this point... hopefully nothing goes wrong there...

Okay, 25 hires. That's 19 days of waiting which gives around 11 days to fight before things might get glitchy.

I'll play, but I think I'll play in one of my many alts just so that when it does crash and I autoresign it won't look bad on MathWhiz. :lol:

I love Korf's Cold War games, and I would happily play in this one as well.

Good idea. I may play as the Kingslayer. :P
He's got 1 game played, and 1 gold medal, from the multibox game. I figure I should use him, since he is L2. Lol.

Let me copy you. A third resign on Mistborn (both form the multiboxing game) won't be To bad. Just don't let me forget about the game.

I'd be happy to beat menace after taunting him for a month.
