New MP Game - Random, Anonymous, No Diplomacy

Bill Paxton has still not responded. What should we do?

By the way, I got an email from Alneyan. I would like to withdraw from this game.

Perhaps, we should let both of the alternates into the game?

You beat me to it. I will withdraw if there are enough alternates; otherwise, I will stick to the bitter end... or some such.

Either that, or re-randomize the nations without water races, or open it anew. I for one don't want to force anyone into it.

Yeah rerandomizing without water nations is a very good idea. I second this idea.

I for one object to re-randomizing for a number of reasons. #1, I doubt that I'm the only one who has put a substantial number of hours into trying to find a pretender setup that would work for indies 9, very difficult research.

#2, if they're re-randomized then the whole process starts over of telling people which nations they have, waiting for their pretenders, and then ... having other people drop out, starting the whole process over again.

Just let the people drop out, who cares if there is 1 aquatic nation or 2 or whatever. It's hard enough getting a game this size going, let alone the randomized, no-diplomacy bit, and it'd be nice to get this one started soon.

I too object to re-randomizing the nations. If we go down that path, we may never get the game started. I have also put a lot of effort into a pretender. Of course, I have yet to find a decent pretender for my random nation, but not for a lack of trying!

I have messaged Bill Paxton and remind him of the game we are trying to get going. I got an email from him this past Friday so I know he is alive.

So if and when we are ready to go (with the current nation) we email or PM it to PashaDawg, correct?

Think so - no one has responded about when we're supposed to send the pretenders in yet.
