I think 7 or 8 people were using the forum, but we had at least 2 that I'm not sure checked it once. The 7 or 8 people who checked were far more effective than the 2-3 that didn't check.

Yes we are looking for real fresh noobs, some of them may not have even read the basic info about not password protecting your pretender. Formoria did not participate and it cost them. Rest assured I will be much more strict on communication and coordination next time. This will be posted. Also alternates will need to provide an e-mail upfront. You'll find all of this when I put up my proposed settings.

As far as mod nations go, I haven't looked at, played with or against any. Not sure what's balanced or compatible.

Nice idea, though I still think you guys might want to keep first choice, especially given the number of noobs I intend to throw at you. Yes, we shall have fun indeed! I'm working on the backstory now. All of my proposed settings will be listed.

Get ready Ermor. The Nief Jarls are newly energized and looking for another fight. Let's just say, they have a secret weapon now.

Probably the swine flu. It killed them all.

Lanka is now ruled by the prophet of Mysterio. What other nations shall soon follow?

[Lavaere]

Agartha might have won a battle this turn, but considering its pyrrhic nature and the fact that both his castles are now under siege I'd dare to suggest he's losing the war.
