2. I am fine with random nation selection that we had in perp, but i do think no one should play the same nation again. I also think people that played water races, should be forced to play a land race. In other words, i do not want to see musical chairs with same players still in the water, but with different nations.

Why I see some vaildity here, I think this is a bit much. While I don't have any intentions of always playing a water race (and in fact, 2 of my MP games with 'picking power' I chose Yomi and Agartha), trying to force people to not play 2 different water nations in a row doesn't really help anything. Some people don't even like water nations in the first place, others like the water or don't care. One thing my days of SFB campaigns showed me is that trying to force people to play an empire they don't like causes serious problems. I freely admit to some bias as I stated before that I would like to try my hand at EA R'Lyeh in the next megagame, but I can't see much of a reason for such an arbitrary restriction.
