[The Panther]

Well, it is not quite the end of the day. But I think we need an update from Pasha Dawg on how many pretenders he has. If he has all the pretenders but the one from Huntsman, then I suggest that Whollaborg take that one slot and make a pretender when he is informed from Pasha about the nation. Then we can get the game started right away.

If we are missing more than 1 pretender, then the game will have to be delayed until after both Pasha Dawg and Hunstman return from their time away. This would mean a game start early next week. Since we have already waited a month to get going, what is another few days? This seems attractive at this point instead of trying like heck to get the first turn in before Pasha leaves.

Anyway, Whollaborg can have the first open slot if we don't have all 17 players by the time we want to get going. If we actually end up with 17 players and therefore don't have an open slot, then I have no problem with Whollagborg taking over Alneyan's secret nation.

Note to Pasha: I will have to resend you my pretender when I get home from work today as I am quite certain I forgot the password.
