1)Wait until the game is full, and Pretenders uploaded before I publish the final nation list.

Please don't make this like RAND. I hate having to use in game diplomacy. The message system blows hard.

I would like to play in this. Early age is my favorite for random nations, nearly everyone has something interesting about them.

[Bluff]

Attack!

I'd like to play please.

I like the idea of random nations too

Cheers,

Bluff

I'd like in if there's room.

[Zapmeister]

Cool - sign me up!

[tgbob]

Can I play? I'd like to play. I'm voting for option #1.

[PsiSoldier]

If there are still slots open I'll give it a go

Wow, this game filled up overnight! Usually a good sign that the community was in need of a new game.

Will PM all the new players their random nation picks as soon as I get chance.

My understanding was that a full RAND game (random nations + hidden players + no diplomacy) only works if the admin isn't playing in the game, since again, the admin player would have an unfair advantage of knowing who was playing the other nations if he was playing in the game himself.

Although it could be an interesting twist if the admin had the advantage of knowing all the other nations/players, but had the disadvantage in that he had to disclose which nation he was playing. (As would happen in this game if it now got turned RAND). Not actually sure if that's an advantage or disadvantage to the admin player? Guess it all depends who the admin is

I would personally love to play in a full RAND game, but it seems there's only one a year (run by PashaDawg), and that is usually strictly for vets only. I may well setup another game soon that is full RAND, just accept that I can't play in it, and hope it will act as a hint for someone to create another full RAND game that I can play in Wink wink, nudge nudge.

I'll probably keep this game to just random nations for now (unless loads think the 'RAND twist' idea is a good one, and prefer that). But if it did go more towards a full RAND game in any way, then diplomacy and communications between nations would likely be disallowed anyway. And don't worry, I would NEVER ask anyone to use in-game messages.
- "What exactly did I just say in that message I sent?" "Oh that's right I forgot, I have absolutely no way of checking it"

don't waste time PMing, if it isn't RAND just post the nations..

[Calahan]

Ok, I should have just sent all the new sign-ups a PM, which means everyone who has signed up so far (ie. all those above this post) should have had a PM from me with your chosen nation.

If you haven't received a PM from me telling you your nation, please let me know asap. I was partly relying on the forum PM system to keep track of who I'd sent messages to, but just realised that your sent messages still don't get automatically saved. (Grits teeth and curses ) Thought that would've changed during my hiatus.

I don't mind spending a bit of extra time now, during game creation, PM-ing people if it helps make the game more interesting for everyone


Edit: Just realised that we now have 14 players signed up, which is currently giving us an almost exact 20 province per player split, which seems good to me. So I will close this game to new sign-ups as of now.

If any players are looking for new games then I will probably be setting up another game once this one is up and running, so check back soon. Since I highly doubt that one game will be enough to quench my warmongering thurst for power
