If you don't like your position play a few turns so it's less obviously damaged by the stale and then find a sub for it, it'll probably take less time than I spend on a single late-game turn to do so.

Wow ... you obviously didn't read a thing I stated (at least not read it correctly). I do check the forums and emails everyday and I said as much earlier. But when I was told that Perponderance was no longer viable and that the new game was PreponderanceNew I stopped checking Preponderance emails. I also said that I check the forums everyday, but do not have time to sift through the threads (usually I am too busy with school and work, but today is the first day of winter vacation for me, hence my time spent of the forums now). I check my PMs which, until the game-start email, was how every other message for this game has been delivered.
As far as my position in concerned, it is fine. I would just like to have been notified in a reasonable manner consistant with all other notifications I have recieved regarding this game about the fact that the game had A) returned to its original name and B) started. If that is unreasonable ... well fine, I'm unreasonable.
And I'd like to clarify, I am not holding this against Zeldor. He is a great guy and one of the few people around these forums I have had enough reasonable interaction with to develop a sense of respect for. I think the largest problem is that these forums suck large hairy balls. I guess it wouldn't be a problem if I had the opportunity to sit around all day on a computer with email access, but I don't. Since that is a requirement for MP Dom3 games (apparently) I guess I lose. That's too bad to, because after looking into this game and playing singleplayer for awhile I really thought this game had some great MP potential. But not so, apparently, if you are concerned with fair-ish starts.
