Right! We have restarted!

I took some executive decisions:

- Indies got set to 6, as a compromise between 5 and 7.
- The victory condition is now a sensible 5 capitals.
- I decided not to wait for more players, as the last newbie game filled up only slowly and I think people's patience here was wearing a little thin (it seems you had quite a cursed game so far). Also I decided to leave the map as Cradle, because it is lovely. Also I've done a 10-player game before on Cradle, and it was really excellent, so I don't think you'll find it to be too big really. Rather, you'll get a little space at the start to develop before you get attacked, which is nice.

Also, this thread is a mess and I can't edit the first post, so I am going to start a new thread and we'll use that one from now on.

Unfortunate as this game has been in getting going, I think it's going to be a really fun one. Good map, interesting nations, and lots of cheerful newbies. So have fun!

Right, move along to the other thread. I will give Ubercat the admin password, so he's the man to ask for extensions and stuff like that. Also he's been in a couple of games before so can answer questions about diplomacy and so on.

Strange question, really. No, attacking in that situation would be fine I think. The only time people can really get annoyed is if you agree to a non-aggression pact and then break it. Also sometimes people get annoyed if you appear to be in the middle of negotiations when you attack. Of course, you could see that as merely a cunning strategy.

Not answering a NAP request is just plain rude in my opinion, but it happens all the time anyway. Not showing another player enough respect to even answer their friendly gesture is insulting and doesn't even hide your hostile intent! You may as well just say "I'm coming after you soon."

If someone offers a NAP and you're secretly planning on attacking them, just say that you aren't ready to commit to anything yet, and you're still exploring your options. Who knows? You might change your mind and accept in a few turns. Circumstances DO change in this game. You have to be ready to adapt your plans.

OK GREAT!!

Now what do we do? I have deleted all the stuff out of the file in anticipation of restarting.

I still have my Pretender but got rid of trn file and first turn file.

Do I need someone to send it to me agian?

Also, is everyone still in that we had (minus effeDom)? and are we keeping the same nations?

I'm easy just need to know!!
