Welcome to The Epic Struggle II and to Team Gemini. :D

The Gemini zodiac is related to the Roman god Mercury, Mercury is the Roman equivalent of the Greek god Hermes, and Hermes is the messenger god, so I thought this would be a good name for our forum.

Anyway, I'm about to invite everyone (since we've all confirmed participation now). I guess you can post here once you register and get approved. We can start a new topic on this forum for each new challenge or significant event.

I'm not very experienced with forum settings, so if anything is set up wrong, let me know, and I may try to fix it. It looks fine to me though. *shrug*

Again, welcome to Team Gemini and please do not share this forum with anyone in any way. It's just for the 11 people on Team Gemini. I'm not even inviting Mayo and Machete. At least not initially. Maybe if people here decide we want them, I can invite them.

I never realized Gemini was related to Mercury... shows how little I know about astrology

Gemini and Virgo can both be considered related to Mercury, according to my small amount of Googling. However, I have reason to believe Gemini is more heavily related, and that reason is that I want this forum name to apply to us the best.

For those who don't know, Choco's name on GameFAQs is Eponalove.

Everyone else's GameFAQs name should be obvious from their username here. Of course, remember to put the capital "i" instead of a lowercase "L" in my name when PM'ing me on GameFAQs.

Although I do find it a funny thought to consider that other Dreamwalker guy's reaction if he ever logs in and sees a bunch of strange people have sent him PMs.

I added a few themes. You can switch between them at the bottom where it says "Choose a theme." I'm leaving the Zeta Original theme as the default, however.

If you don't like the original and also don't like any of the new themes I've added, you can look for something here you like and tell me to add it as an option:

For some reason when I try to change theme while in a topic, it sometimes gives me an error.
So try it on the forum's index page instead.

Well...that was weak.


Should we start throwing out alliance probes? IMO it's useless before the first actual challenge, but there's nothing else to do.



EDIT: Also I wonder when the first dead boards being used for the game will be revealed.

Dream, have Weezy and/or Radman read their PMs?

What a sad challenge. I suspect it's partially because they're still trying to deal with startup organization and they're also doing it to give themselves more time, not just the players.

We could potentially start looking for alliances, but with nothing having happened yet it's hard to tell which teams would be good for attempting alliances.

Just make sure we don't end up in an alliance with Aquarius.

I'm going to start hunting through some dead boards to see if i can find any team discussions going on.

the 60 hour wait is kind of annoying, but whatever.

I just pronounce it "matthew" while the number 314 appears in my head.

Anyway, radman was just approved here.

EDIT: Good grief. This whole board is huge now. I'm going to have to start ignoring GameFAQs things that aren't Epic Struggle or the Legendary Lottery.

SECOND EDIT: Okay, I've caught up with stuff. It seems we're in Week 1 now but still a waiting period... I'm thus not sure whether or not we should still be in "Pre-Game" Discussion. But oh well. I think you guys have permissions to make new topics too, right?

THIRD EDIT: I might recommend that we try talking a little less in the main topics. I mean don't be silent, but we really don't want to become a target by talking more than twice as much as any other team.

On an unrelated note, I discovered King of Cats is the maker of that highlighting script. He was also the winner of the "Daily Conquest" game kind of like Risk but very basic that I had hosted on Games-N'-Things last year.

But the game isn't the same with all the shitposting and namecalling :(



I guess you are right though.

And yet I continued to post anyway.

Well, I must say I am very very very happy with my new highlighting. I have 12 distinguishable colors in a loop, none of them too dark, and then I have the hosts black (with white text) so they still stand out among all the pastel colored stuff.

Well there might be good reasons for his absence right now but (and I hope I don't come off like a dick for saying this) if we have elimination fodder that makes things easier

I think kirby agrees

I agree as well. (saying this with some hesitation because what if he sees it later and gets mad)

But of course we should still try to NOT have to eliminate anyone for as long as possible.

I'm trying to host Vote Out Delta tonight on Games-N'-Things.
http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/839-/68910963

I'm curious in seeing who teams up with whom in it. >_>
Maybe that information will be useful to us.

EDIT: Well, that failed to happen. And I think half the people being from Gemini would've only made us look threatening. Maybe I'll try again some other day/time.

I hope we get 2nd place in the first challenge. 1st would put a target on our backs, and everything else is meh

Yeah, I'm pretty sure in the first game a lot of the reason purple got stolen from after the second challenge was because they did well in the first challenge. Of course, the continued targetting of them afterwards was basically Itachi's fault, but it seems like a safe assumption that whoever gets first place in the first challenge will get stolen from in the second.

Of course part of that may have been no one really knowing each other and not having any better reason to steal, which may be slightly less prominent with so many returning players.

Oh, sorry. I was just doing it out of boredom and to keep the spirits high until the first challenge actually starts.

I'm starting to feel like this actually is a "challenge" and our score is highly determined by how many of our people post in this topic... kind of like a way of confirming that teams are active.

If you haven't postedin the game topic recently, please do so once. If you want, mention the names of some other Gemini people in your post in case Mayo is judging based on that to tell if we're socializing with each other or not.

I highly doubt that's the case, I think it's just a combination of them being overwhelmed, wanting to give new players time to fit in with returning players, and wanting to start at the start of the month

Agree'd with Kirby.

I think that to count this as an actual challenge whilst leaving the rules ambiguous/undefined like that goes against the spirit of the game. (or at least the precedent that has been set)

Way to go Mayo and Machete. Make 12 people hate you. At least Gemini already decided we're getting rid of Weezy. Poor guy. But at least there needs not be any further infighting.
