Re: STACKERS, newbie game, signup here
If I were choosing based on aesthetics, I would have selected earlier.  The idea here is to have what should be considered to be an "underdog" nation either by virtue of overall ability or difficulty to control or by virtue of the nations selected by others.
I have the most experience with Arcoscephale, Marignon, and T'ien C'hi, so none of those would be terribly appropriate.
I was thinking maybe Man, Agartha, Ermor, or Mictlan.

Re: STACKERS, newbie game, signup here
My idea of best choice would be whatever matches your gaming style. And worst would be the least match.
I love playing underdogs to be a surprise.  Pick any you like. Just be sure to pay attention to the built in pros/cons of that nation.

That's one of my favorite features of Man. My least favorite feature is their 1h basic priest... The two things probably add up to about a wash.

Re: STACKERS, newbie game, signup here
never played on your servers Gandalf, so I have no clue, but can't you insert delays for games on them? the "standard" PBEM games on Llamaserver have no problems delaying the game, is there any particular reason for this pretty necessary feature to be excluded from games on your servers?

Re: STACKERS, newbie game, signup here
Yes I can take requests for extensions and handle them. Anything available on pbem servers is available on direct connect also. But Im not sure it would be fair to hold the game for a weekend for one person.

Re: STACKERS, newbie game, signup here
well, it's only 1 delay relatively early in the game, so personally I don't see the big issue. especially when such delays are pretty common in the other games around here, the PBEMs, and well, there would be situations in which other players would need delays for a variety of reasons... also, the main issue here is whether Willburn or other players will join us or not, knowing they'll need an extension or 2 relatively early in the game. I think they should be able to play and we can grant them the necessary delays, but that's just me...
