I have nothing to add to the current, um, conversation...

but I do have a suggestion for the next game to save Dr P some headaches.
Before we start he shows the map to everyone with his recommended starting positions. At that point everyone has a day or two to complain/*****. If no one specifically complains about a starting position then at that point you randomize what team gets what position. This way people can't complain after we start.
And thank you DrP for going out of your way to do these maps.
