Then the nations should be selected that way (let's call it "the first shall be Last").

The current roster is as follow (please let me know with you you want to be paired):
- Aku and Boron
- Alexti
- CUnknown
- GriffinOfBuerrig
- Izaqyos
- PashaDawg
- Shadowfury333 (if it can work out with the demo)
- The Birthday Party

As for the settings:
- Map: Both players of the same team will start next to each other, but the manual placement will not be known by the players. Theater of War offers a nice layout for six teams, but any other map should do the trick.
- Independents: The common 6 for now.
- Research: Normal, or perhaps Hard.
- Site frequency: 45
- Scores: On, off, or any compromise you can think of.
- Hall of Fame: 15
- Renaming is on
- Turnaround: likely 48 hours from the start, with a fixed deadline hour.

I believe that Dragonfire11 is going to be my partner. But, I will double check.

I want to play! I will ask Tuidjy... I am pretty sure he will agree.

I also think that rolling for the order in which a team picks races is the way to go, with reversing the order for the second race.

As for rankings, what I would like the most is a vague commentary from the host, each turn.

I like Zen's pretender mods, mostly because they are easy to evaluate and understand. I would rather not use the spell/scales mods, but I do not feel about strongly enough to insist.

There is another rule I would like to see thrown in: no communication between teams, except for trash talking in this thread :-) I know it cannot be enforced, but...

And now I am off to look at the map.

Very good point about no communications Yvelina. The best I can do to enforce this rule is to check turns for "You have received a message from someone not being your ally", and perhaps even keep secret the nations of the players. If I do that, you may want to transmit any trash talk to me so that I can post it in your stead.

As for the score comments, would you say something like "The realm of Somewhere is renowned for its mastery of magic, but more mundane warfare has been discarded" is vague enough?

It looks like nobody feels too strongly about the Scale and Spell mods, so we will stick to the Pretenders mod. The 2.0 Version will be used, available for download here.

The current roster is as follow:
- Aku and Boron
- Alexti and Izaqyos
- CUnknown and YellowCactus
- Dragon11 and PashaDawg
- Tuidjy and Yvelina
- GriffinOfBuerrig
- Shadowfury333 (if it can work out with the demo)
- The Birthday Party

Feel free to drop me a mail so that I can get your mail; the adress is alneyan[AT]fastmail[DOT]co.uk (as found in my profile).
