Honestly I'd rather play as Vanheim than Pangaea.

At least one person is confused, all right. I don't know what "Monday" means for Cadel regarding time zones, but I will reset the timer once, now, and send him a PM and email to remind him to play his turn, as it didn't sound like "I quit" to me the first time he wrote. If he doesn't want to play, we're in a predictament, I'll try to get a sub then. I do not want AI nations from the start in games that I am hosting.

The worst that would happen is that we restart? (I'm not terribly fond of my starting location anyways. >.>)

Is this fairly common for MP games? Not griping, just curious if I should expect starting delays, or delays in general to be fairly frequent.

It is quite common that it takes a while in the start until all the things are in place and everybody knows what to do. But after the initial difficulties are overcome, the game usually picks up speed from there on.

Awesome, I hope so. I am sating my bloodlust by trying out new things, and going through every nation/era in SP, but I want to get hip deep in MP action before I wear myself out. :O

So many people I've been at war with in another game are here...

This game sounds like so much fun
