Default Re: When are we starting?

It seems like we have a pretty committed bunch here. I can certainly understand how some people might want to see their position in the world before writing too much story. I, for instance, need the names of my neighboring provinces. I would suggest we get this started as soon as everyone submits pretenders, instead of waiting for all turn zeros. We can always be a little lenient with extensions for people who need them.

I'd vote for indys at 7 rather than 9. I want my story to be event-driven, and that's harder to do if events just happen slowly.

Yay. I think the only dispute is about independent strength. Anyone else have an opinion?

Indy 7 sounds good to me, just to be different from the usual 6 or 9.

As I said previously, 7 independents is fine with me.

I also vote for graphs on, which was mentioned (I think only once) upthread.

Yay, the turns are starting...

One question: I made my pretender with mod version 2.01, since I thought that was the one we are using. Will there be a problem with the game if we proceed using 2.0? Did anyone else make their pretender using the other mod?

I used 2.01, too.

Turn frequency: we're aiming for 3/week, but we didn't discuss the details. I figure 2-2-3 days, with the 3 across the weekend? Maybe turns due on (for ex.) Tues-Thurs-Sun, or something like that (subject to what Tauren finds convenient)?

Someone more knowledgeable than I should change the thread title from "open" to "running".
