Good stuff. Looks like we have enough people who have shown interest (after less than 8 hours to boot). Next question is: who here has a microphone/headset?

What better time than now, eh? And I'm 99.9% sure it's co-op. We'd all be in the same party going through the game. I'll have to check though since I've never actually played a mp game of bg2 and have only a vague idea of how it works.

BioWare/Black Isle RPG based on D&D 3rd Edition(?) rules. Basically the kind of game that's sitting pretty at a score of 95/100 on metacritic and is probably the best RPG ever made. Srsly where have you been?

Sessions are no longer running [hide]Info about sessions: The weekly BG2 session takes place every Friday starting at 4 PM EST. Currently there have been four people that are playing (myself, a_bert, ross_the_knight, and rpg_gamer1). *****How to set up your game for multiplayer: -Install BG2: Shadows of Amn -Install BG2: Throne of Bhaal -Patch BG2: SoA/ToB w/ patch 26498 - http://www.bioware.com/games/throne_bhaal/support/patches/ -Forward your ports so that you can connect - http://www.wikihow.com/Play-Baldur%27s-Gate-2-Multiplayer-over-the-Internet -Set it to run in windowed mode (under the configure tab when you click to run the exe) We're also running mumble in the background for talking and what-have-you: mumble = 85.236.100.59 port = 9862 pw = ub ------------------ Old OP: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lB7T6Kd9cYg&feature=related Right, I stumbled across the above main theme to the Baldur's Gate 2 Throne of Bhaal expansion and was remembering playing it a few years ago, and recalled that it has a multiplayer feature. I'm still unsure how exactly the multiplayer works and am currently downloading BG2 again, so I'll check that when it's done, but I'd just like to get an idea of who would be up for a multiplayer game of Baldur's Gate 2? So! Fill out the poll above please :) Also if you do want to play, post what class you'd like to play as. These are the classes for reference: http://www.gamebanshee.com/baldursgateii/classes.php (Right hand side of the page) I'll be playing as a Kensai-Thief dual class (aka Warrior) or a Paladin (warrior, again), and every party pretty much needs 2 warriors, 1 cleric, 1 mage, and somebody with thief skills (so fighter/thief dual class, or bard or something. Pure thief classes generally suck). But I'm sure we can sort everything out.[/hide]

I just used the map on the front page <_< This one seems fine though. And I hire 1 General.

Bugger. Ah well, these are the new colonizations: Costing 12,750,000 denars, leaving me with 135k budget. Generals cost how much?

Yes. --- My capital province is Manhattan.

I claim my 3 colonies as provinces. I colonized them on day 1, so that gives me a 90% chance I think?

My new one has the same. 3.06 Ghz, 1.5TB Hard disk, 8GB RAM at 1600Mhz too. Well, it will when it actually arrives. 10-14 working days my ass. Still, if what you say is true, I look forward to constant 120 fps forts. Cool I got a P4, 1gb of ram piece of crap that can barely run the original half life. Win. -.-

Even easier.

Kill it with fire.

It does seem to be quite an obsession to some.

Oh dear god reading this thread is like watching a gaggle of middle age women talk about raising kids.

No worries

Ok then I change my ability to Expansionism, and these are the three provinces I'm colonizing: Leaving me with a budget of 85k.

Let's not forget Hedgehog He's the best OTer that there was or ever will be and he didn't threaten me to say that at all. You best comply with his demands, or he'll dump toxic waste all over Europe that screws everybody over except his friends Psh the only reason I'm not on your list is because you're jewish and I invaded your country with The Fourth Reich. Bwahaha.

This is correct. Only colonies with two existing bordering provinces receive this bonus. They are actually. Order of colonization: And if I'm not allowed to have Colony #3 since Nex apparently colonized it already then it'll be this: Leaving me with 500k of my budget left.

Nobody in ot tbh, you're all a bunch of hippies. Archimage and azvareth are fine chaps though, wotwot.

Not with closeness. 8 provinces = 8 million -- Oh it's 3m? Thought it said 2m before. These 6 then, still leaving me with 500k left. Does leftover budget carry over to the next reset?

Oh, we start with 10m. In that case, I change my ability to 'closeness' (still day 1 -.- ) and colonize these 8 provinces: Leaving me with 500k and 1000 Musketmen

England - Closeness I colonize these two provinces: And buy 1000 musketmen, leaving me with 2.5m left.

Pound for pound marijuana is actually more harmful to your lungs than cigarettes. The difference is that nobody smokes 20 joints a day.

I have a group of friends I hang out with regularly, but only one that I consider to be a 'true' friend.

Spinal tap is an awesome band, have you listened to anything off their new album?
