[Septimius Severus]

I do agree with Wrana somewhat. Waiting till two days before start time to announce it is a bit unfair to everyone else. Still I understand that things happen, a lot of it had to do with some other time issues on the team with all the members in general. Some players are anxious to get playing and so forth and things happen in life. DrP has always acted responsibly, so if he thought it was in the best interest of everyone else, not to hold up the game when we get started, he would have done it.

I don't know what is going on with the Usurpers Squirrel, but I did PM all members of that team today to make sure everything was OK with them prior to start. I always encourage captains to fill those alternate slots, because there are always dropouts for one reason or another. And to stay in touch with each other. No reason for me to scrap a concept that is quite promising and that so much time has been put into. I am grateful to DrP though and everone else for signing up and believing in me and the game and I hope he stays on as the advisor for that team.

Btw, Gandalf has come up with an exciting concept that he will apparently be implementing in this game for the AIs, that of giving the AI nations mixed units. Thus Caelum could recruit Man units and TC could recruit Caelum units, etc in their caps.
