Err ... forgive me if the starts arent very well located. I had my roomate place them (so I wouldn't have any advantages) and didn't look at them. Also this is my very first MP game so i'm still learning. Hope it isn't too bad of a start. Thanks for understanding

Ha! I can't care less where my starting location is. As is foretold by an ancient oracle, it is but a matter of time before the splendour of our Golden Age meets its lamentable destiny

Two stales on the second turn? Is there something wrong?

Yeah, sorry bout that stale guys...I expectantly couldn't get to a computer yesterday. It really sucks too because I staled on about three games

Ouch, okay. Just wanted to at least know if someone was wanting to drop.

Sorry about the stale turn. My house lease expired and I was totally occupied and exhausted by all the packing and cleaning stuff yesterday

Could we maybe get some experienced neutral player to take a look at starting locations? Especially how far away everyone is from each other, how many neighbours he has and what terrain/pop is in there. I already spotted my neighbour on turn 3 and we are supposed to have 25 provs per player! IF something is not right it is better to restart now instead of dragging unfair game. Just a word of advice.

P.S. I will be back on Wednesday evening, about 18GMT time, I will be able to do the turn unless it quickhosts very fast, in that case please give me few hours to get my turn in.

P.P.S. Should I find a temp sub for 2-3 turns as I am going away for that weekend [thursday-sunday, last summer weekend] or would it be fine with postponing hosting? I think it would be better for the game if I found a sub, but maybe there are other people with plans for that weekend.

I have to second that. A province 2 hexes away from my capital is already occupied by aother play who did not exactly have great expansion rate (he took 2 provinces). This map is wrap around in case your roommate did not notice.

Well, if I count right we've got so far :

- 2 players who already and unexpectantly have staled in the first two turns

- 2 others who already have spotted their neighbors on turn 3 while we play on a large map (knowing how many we are for Alexander)

While I'm fairly happy with my starting location, I wouldnt got too far in this game if we collectively feel its setting is unfair.

Without threat, there's no glory in victory !
