If you guys don't mind anyone new to the multiplayer game I'll take Pangaea.

Well... I'm going to stop accepting new players on Thursday.
Some people have mentioned certain mod nations, but no one has actually requested to play one themselves. So...
Velusion - Caelum. MrSparkle - Pangaea. Janlm - substitute or... takes a mod nation. I'm pretty certain at least one nation won't show up to the start.

Hmm... perhaps we can do something about this. Give me a little while to think things over before we consider this player list final. These are just my brainfarts made flesh, not imperial dictates.

I think you should take Velusion up on his offers. I've always enjoyed his maps.

I am interested in taking you up on this offer. I'd like to be involved in the selection at some stage, though. Help, if I might, learn if I an.

Notes: Evilhomer is considering a mod nation, Mictlan may or may not be available for Ramz. If Evilhomer doesn't change nations, Ramz will have to take a mod nation. We're still accepting new players, but they need to lay claim to a mod nation. I'll make a post shortly discussing/listing mod nations, but feel free to suggest a mod nation as well.

Current Nation-Player list:
Abysia - Szumo
Agartha - Hadrian_II
Arcoscephale - Papatoss
Atlantis - Lazy_Perfectionist
Caelum - Velusion
Ctis - Baalz
Ermor - AdmiralZhao
Jomon - Jomon
Man - fungalreason
Marignon - MAJ_Disgrace
Mictlan - EvilHomer
Midgard - Aethyr
Pangaea - MrSparkle
Patala - calmon
R'lyeh - Jazzepi
T'ien Ch'i - Saarud
Ulm - Reverend Zombie
Ulm Reborn - Burnsaber
Vaettiheim - Janlm
Utgard - duke_commando

I would like to keep the mod nations to a minimum myself. I played in some all mod games recently, and I did not feel that they were terribly well balanced for large scale multiplayer.

So be it. We'll get Ramz get a mod nation. We'll have the game limited to three mod nations, and stop accepting any new players. Three mod nations out of 21 shouldn't unbalance the overall gameplay too much.

If they are too strong, we should be able to manage a strategic alliance and offer the mod creators some feedback.
