It would be nice if he/she checked in to let us know what the hold up is... how long are we going to be kept waiting?

I have already PMed and emailed him his password. I don't know why he doesn't respond at all. It makes no sense to have somebody AWOL from the first turn. We should restart the game without him then, maybe somebody else can join then, too. And you can submit a new pretender again, too, in case you made an error like you said. All in favor?

Do games usually take this long to start up?

From personal experience, after the signup phase and nation assignment and so on so that the whole setup is clear, it takes about a week to get the game started.
