I'd like to play as Caelum.

Oh, I forgot to note the staling policy.

Once we're in 96 hour quickhost, there will be a fairly tough staling policy in place. 4 days is plenty of time to get a turn in, after all.

If a player goes 6 days without submitting a turn (a turn and a half), I'll post a note looking for a sub. At that point, the staling player will have until the next turn is generated to make a post in this thread or PM me. After that, either a sub will take over or the nation will be AI'd.

My experiences in SlowBoat thus far are that repeat staling on a slower game (without the staling player popping up to talk about it) is very frustrating for the other players, and I'd like to keep delays to a minimum.

I'll play, not sure of race yet.

Ok, 7 players up. One more and I guess we'll have enough to start.

A quick question to all: How quickly do we want to take the first few turns?

I'll take Pythium, by the way.

Duly noted.

I'll go Pan.

Speaking of which:

The people of Pangaea greet the other folk of the world in friendship, but offer a warning: The fabric of Nature has been disturbed. Cities scar the grasslands, and mines burrow into the hills and mountains like maggots. The plants and beasts of the world are becoming angry, and you must limit the damage you do to the world's fabric if they are not to become savage.
