Assuming PBEM, I'm in. I've only got 3 full MP games and 4-5 subs under my belt, but will give this my best.

What do we do when someone decides to start staling/drops out?

I vote for graphs off. They give too much insight into what an opponent's doing, and we don't have to worry about someone growing out of control against lazy neighbors like we would in a big MP game.

Glad to have you join us Stretch.

The original post already accounts for stales and drop outs. We'll hopefully have a pool of replacement players.

The original post also discusses why its very important for graphs to be on for these games. The decision wasn't arbitrary.

Ahhh, so it is. I got more interested in the selection mechanics and forgot to reread the OP when I was done. Thanks.

I wonder if it would be a good idea to exclude water nations? Well actually, I think it would. Land v water is no fun at all.

I'm tentatively interested, but I'd rather not commit for certain quite yet as I may have a very busy January.

I assume this will last quite a few months in total? Sounds pretty fun actually, because the time commitment in a 2-player game should never get too heavy.

It's probably too soon for me to start another game, but sign me up anyway. This idea is too cool.

I am in. I figure to be eliminated quickly enough that it won't be too much of a timesink.

I'm in.

I noticed quite a few players mentioning time constraints related to January and ongoing games. Perhaps it would be worth postponing the start to the end of the month or the beginning of Feb. Just an observation - it should all work for me.
