'House Rule':
NAPs and other agreements are expected to be honoured once accepted. If your playstyle includes violating the terms of agreements whenever you find it convenient to do so, do not join this game. You are free to refuse any offers you wish, but once you make a deal you are expected to adhere to it. You have been warned. ; )

Lonely Mermaid Map:
Random starting positions are terrible for MP games. I have set up 8 specific, random starting locations, 7 land + 1 sea. The starting positions are 8 (sea), 10, 24, 30, 50, 77, 84, and 97. Each starting land province was selected with the following conditions: all have 4 or 5 neighbours; all are 4 or 5 provinces away from other starting provinces; and all (except one) have at least one farm neighbour and one forest/border/mountain neighbour. The starting sea location has 3 neighbours (all are sea), and is 3 provinces away from 3 starting land provinces. (I had to create the .map file for this from scratch, so there may be some mistakes, although I was as thorough as possible. If you notice anything before the game starts, let me know and I can correct it.)

Now let's have some fun!

I'd like to give EA Pangea another whirl!

Jazzepi

[Pelthin]

I would like to play as well. I am a newb, but have played many SP games.

[calmon]

I'm in. Fomoria please!

[Executor]

Mictlan for me please.

[Ossa]

I'd like to join as Helheim please

[IndyPendant]

Ossa, I'm going to give you another 12 hours or so to get your pretender uploaded, then I'm going to replace you if you do not.

I'm sorry if it turns out you have a good reason to be taking so long to upload your pretender--but even if you do, that would still mean you would not be able to properly keep up with a 24-hour turn schedule.

I hope you are ready in time!

[IndyPendant]

Okay Ossa, we have waited nearly 48 hours, and haven't had even a post from you. I'm not going to let this game suffer delays before it's even begun! Best of luck in any future games you may decide to join.

We need one more player to replace Ossa, so I have changed my original post appropriately. We may yet be able to start playing today, depending on how quickly we get a new player and they upload their pretender.

[Evilhomer]

Sign me up - I will chose nation and upload my pretender in 8 hours from when this post was written (thats when I end my shift).

[Evilhomer]

Pretender sent, good luck to everyone!
