I'll be starting up a game on a soon-to-be-vacated Mosehansen slot (
www.mosehansen.dk)
Map TBA, but something with a province count of about 150, give or take. Open to discussion, of course.
Here's the deal:
Indies 5
Sites 25%
Rich World
Difficult Research
Graphs On
15 HOF
standard victory conditions
Beginning at 24h quickhost, slowing down as people request it. It would be great if we could start it off as something of a blitz, but that might be completely unrealistic.
One other thing: no alliances.
This rule is, of course, unenforceable, and so a better way to describe it might be "don't trust anyone". If your neighbor says "Let's have a ten-turn NAP", don't be surprised or upset if they attack you four turns later. Don't feel bad, either, if you want to attack them after three.
Who's interested?
Update:
Not just no alliances, we're shooting for no diplomacy of any kind. The map is Desert Eye. We've got ten players, I think... If more folks want to join, we can take them. Those of us who have been too slack to actually pick a nation should do so and post here.
As far as pretenders, I kicked the one anonymous pretender. Unfortunately, this seems to have taken the game out of the Open list (its status is now "Stopped"). This freaks me out; is it okay? Or did I start the game? Alternatively, my computer is on and online something like 98.8% of the time... I could just host it on my machine, open up a TCP/IP port for it; that way, we can run version 16. Disadvantage is we miss out on Esben's nice web interface.
Anyway, once that's taken care of, and everyone's got pretenders, we can start.
Here's the final list of players:
Ygorl - Atlantis
Jurri - Ermor
Azhur - R'lyeh
izaqyos - Pythium
Reverend Zombie - C'tis
Cyborg Moses - Marignon
Catquiet - Pangaea
