I've just updated the game page. All start locations so far are valid. I've also added an image file of the map that discretely defines peoples starting locations so the incoming players can more easily choose their base of operations.

Note: It isn't necessarily for you to choose a start location the same time you sign up for the game. My suggestion is to reserve your position first, then carefully choose your capitol. Nothing would be worse then taking the time to choose a start location and then find it to be invalid because of someone's recent post. However, this is not a license to take your time as the people after you will be waiting on your decision.

@chris. Interesting comment about Settlers of Catan. I do enjoy that game, but I can't say I was inspired by it at all.
