Question for you....do we get to find out what nation we have before or after we submit our pretender?

Hi reinselc:

I will assign nations randomly by rolling some dice or something. I will then send you an email with your nation assignment.

Actually I just realized that is a stupid question.

So, what are the rules regarding 'no diplomacy' exactly? You cannot communicate with the other players in any way? Can you send in-game messages regarding trades for items, or something like that? Or does 'no diplomacy' mean absolutely no contact with the other players?

Count me in, it's been a while since I've played and I've been waiting for a new game to start that interests me. And this game the last time I was in it was pretty fun.

Hi CUnknown:

Yeah. No diplomacy means no contact at all, including no in-game messages or trading of gems, etc. You can post on the thread, but not in a way that would directly or indirectly identify which nation you're playing.

I will wait for the players to discuss and debate the settings of the game. I will make the final call as the host but will try to honor the wishes of the majority of players. (Hmm... where did I leave that Great Orb of Power? Geez, I hope I did not let it go through the laundry again! )

I'd like to play, if you'll have me.
However (and this is why the "if you'll have me part"), there is a chance that later in the game I will have less free time, and might have some trouble meeting deadlines. (If that "chance" will come true, than I'll probably be consistently almost late / actually late for the Tuesday schedule.)
Its not a certainty that it will happen, and its not a certainty that it will give me problems with the turns (and I'll definitely try my best), but I'd rather be honest and denied a place in the game rather than a liar that might later ruin the game for other people. (If I survive that long )

Other than that, these settings are almost exactly what I'd look for in a game, and I'd really love to play.

So just tell me if you'll have me

EDIT: After reviewing some things, it turns out that if the unlikely event will happen, I would still most likely be able to make the turn, with a small amount of juggling some stuff. And also asking some people reveals that the unlikely event really seems to be very unlikely. (Though my personal preference would be a SUN/WED/FRI or a MON/WED/FRI or SAT/TUE/THU schedule which I am guaranteed to be able to handle )
Now I feel like an idiot for even bringing it up with such a long and detailed post when it slowly seems like less of a problem. :S
