	The Land Down Under Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

Travelling in a fried-out combie
On a hippie trail, head full of zombie
I met a strange lady, she made me nervous
Took me in and gave me breakfast
And she said,

"I come from a land down under
Where beer does flow and men chunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover."

Pennywise

Right chaps! We now need to provide our choices for traits and UUs. As soon as we have all of these, the game can be set up.

Thanks again for doing this for us Rommel!

I was picking either Mike or Paddy to take the Bezerker. In fact there is no reason why they both can't take that UU..

So lets have these choices chaps!

Off back to hell with you evil Leader King Bez! And take your miserable Beserkers with you! Unless of course you wish to provide my pigmen with a feed of prime grade beserker meat. i hear the rumps are particuarly tasty.

That's everyone then. The first post in this thread has been updated!

I'll PM Rommel with the spec, hopefully he is still able to set this up for us, and get back to you with an estimated start time.

Guys I PMed Rommel last Friday but haven't heard anything yet..

Paddy do you think we need to ask someone else?

Here is the PM I sent Rommel

quote: Andydog wrote on Friday, 15th April 2005 11:38 am: Hi Rommel, I believe Paddy has already spoken to you about whether you would be prepared to set up a custom PBEM for us. Those participating in the game have agreed on the game spec, and this can be found in the first post of the thread: The Land Down Under. Anything not mentioned you can assume to be at your own discretion. I understand that you are busy moderating the PBEM forums, and considering Iron Civer is close to being launched I would quite understand if you did not have the time to do this for us. But if you do have the time, we would very much appreciate it! Please let us know (either PM me or in the thread) either way. If you are able to set this up, can you possibly give us an indication as to when it may be ready? Much appreciated Andy

Rommel has moved house over the past days, so he will be online from a new location very soon. I believe he will do this for us quite well and happily

So a nother few days waiting may help.

okay thanks Paddy, i'm okay with waiting.

My pigmen settlers are quite pleased to hang around for a bit actually, they've found a nice big mud hole and are happily rolling about in it.
