I'm in agreement with Panther and Cainehill - sounds a little dodgy, to me. I'm no longer the newest of newbies myself, so I'm not too worried to play against Cohen as Abysia (and I'm always willing to trust to the principle of piling on the leader  ), but I would like to see a game that's friendly to any true newbies who might care to join.

yeah perhaps i should include if this is your first mp game ever and have never seen a sc in action then this might not be the right game too .
but most of us have i think a few games (1-5) running now and 0-2 finished . so most of us are exactly in between newbie and intermediate i think .
since randomness is such a big factor i think too high fear from cohen as probably the most experienced player in so far is not justified .
if cohen gets e.g. a row of bad events in the first turns like a labblow , unrest , indy attacks etc. i think even an expert player can't do too much against this .
and cohen was so kind of putting a small handicap at himself by taking abysia since they have a bit difficult starting position .
so i would say just go completely unbiased in the game and if anyone seems to be too strong there is then always diplomacy as you pointed out
