JWANT's 2

**Chieftain Khuzaymah** · May 16, 2015, 01:29 PM

For SotN2 we have good reason. Evil is about to win, so it means either we just play as fast as we can and be done with the HS in a couple of turns, or we have to carefully strategize to try to stand as long as we can, with a small chance of victory.

If you have no faith in my proposal, I am willing to take up (co-)admin role to see this done and skip without excuse.

If everyone that is currently participating in this HS agrees with this proposal, I don't see how we can not commit to it. If, for whatever reason, a player drops out, that is a different problem entirely.

I absolutely agree with everything Khuzaymah said. There is really not much more to add to it

Hope other players find those suggestions to their liking.

I can do my best to actively sub players that don't have allies. I gave the Elven factions to myself since they are hopeless - hence I am not concerned about winning this hotseat and more concerned about making sure it is functional. Due to this, I feel like I am fairly neutral and my sub will likely be better than a skipped turn. Players are also welcome to assign their own sub from players within (not recommended) or outside of the hotseat.

I agree with Chieftain's turn limit suggestion but obviously it won't necessarily be a hard time limit since it depends what time I sign on to sub - I will do my best to enforce it within only a few hours of the deadline.

Gondor played, and Eriador as well.

Rohan/Dale next: http://www.filedropper.com/jw2rohan1

Never played a Hotseat with Gondor (from start) or Eriador before, and this is also my very first time playing as Eriador.
It took some time to play my turns, but I must say I'm super excited for this Hotseat and wish you all the best of luck!

(You will need it when team good men is around)

The Dwarves lived in their mountains in peace for a long time. But time is changing, the Dwarves can feel it ~~in the water~~. As Dwarves walk on the lands of Middle-Earth, there are no more Men, Elves or other foreigners that greet us with words and a smile. The Dwarves seem to be distanced from this World..

As it turns out, there was reason for this unfortunate change. Those we used to drink with, talk with and hold games with, no longer do, because war is coming. The Great War of our time. The Grey Wizard, the oracle of Middle-Earth, Gandalf, came to our Mountains, saying Middle-Earth as we know it would come to an end. Alliances were being formed. Everyone had already picked their side. What caused this sudden warmongery, distrust and misplaced fear of eachother is still unclear. But one thing is clear to the Dwarves. We stand alone in this war, there is no one to fight by our side..

High Elves up

The time of the Elves has passed - a vacuum of power waits to be filled. Yet the Elves will muster the strength they have left to ensure that Middle-Earth is left behind on their own terms...

Hoping Gimli will play but asked Ranger to sub since I know Gimli has at least 3 TATW hotseat turns he needs to play.

**Chieftain Khuzaymah** · May 21, 2015, 04:48 PM

I understand Gimli had a lot of turns to do yesterday, but I would like him to play this today or be subbed/skipped asap. We have to be more strict on deadlines.

Notified Gimli.

**Gimli** · May 21, 2015, 05:56 PM

I'll do it right now. I had all my WTW and TATW hotseats show up on the same day. I will be very busy in the next week in a half so don't expect me in any hotseat to be on time.

**themzr** · May 24, 2015, 08:29 AM

I have been swamped by hotseat and am away all day today. Because it's the first turn I shall have to do this tomorrow

**JWANT** · May 25, 2015, 06:25 PM

I will sub if it is not done by the time i log on tomorrow (about 24 hours). I really don't want to sub first turns.

**themzr** · May 25, 2015, 09:27 PM

Harads turn is done and I'm working on rhun. Do I not get 24 hours per faction? I realize I'm still late but I thought I could budget it a little out more since Its the first turn and I'm abnormally busy

As long as it doesn't become a regularity.

We are going to be more strict on the deadlines in this HS. So I support JWANT if he says he will sub you in about 24 hours after he posted his message. This means themzr was given almost 96 hours to complete his turns.
