MP: Smiting Season (newb-intermediate, LA, CBM 1.92) smiting has begun!

Chelm is me - switched from Arco. Mictlan seems to be the culprit.

Excellent! Thanks, schoelle!

The game has now been relegated to the "waiting for pretenders" stage. I booted Mictlan's pretender; all the rest of ours should be good. Bat/man, please submit your pretender when you get the chance, and the *actual* game can get started!

decourcy: looking forward to another first-turn haiku from Li Boh.

Sorry,

Particularly nasty flu took me out for couple of days but I could be able to submit a pretender rather soon if you still accept me.

Understandable, Whollaborg. Since you're still interested and were one of the first in the game (and Arco is still unclaimed), I'm making an administrative decision to expand the game to 13 players.

Hope no one objects. It lowers provinces/player exclusive of water provs from just over 14 to exactly 13. The game just got a little more cutthroat, but it shouldn't make that much of a difference in the end.
