Hmm, the patch is probably around the corner, but I'm not too keen on delaying the game if there are 62 players ready and waiting. Our comps are fixed, but we have to fetch them, compile the patch and release it for some beta before it's a go.

Still it would be fun if Fomoria was in the new game. MA Mictlan and TC can be updated after the game has started without any losses.

I would play if the new patch was released. I'll wait for it.

If I hear that patch will be out in the next two weeks I'm open to waiting on starting - but otherwise we'll probably keep same the start time (this Monday).

Also it's looking doubtful we'll have a full game... I'm thinking around 40+ probably. As others have said - the time commitment isn't any more than another MP game - unless you end up being one of the top nations in the end game.

We will, of course, update to the patch the moment it comes out if we have already started.

I do not see how you can bid intelligently on races that are being upgraded without seeing them 1st.

But my main issue is time. I see alpaca coming to an end(a pleasant one), in the next 2 weeks. If we can delay 2 weeks I am in-if not-not.

Xietor the turns during the first 2 weeks takes almost no time or planning.

Just planning what race i want takes time. Then planning my pretender takes time. and if i get a race i do not request playing test games to work out a strategy takes time.

I am way to competitive to "wing it." Wish I could. A casual player I am not.

Well then just sign up with a list of nations that you are familiar with and know how to play. Put one that is not a high profile nation at the top of the list, should ensure you get a nation that you need no playtesting with.

edit: Of course if you do not wish to play thats another thing, don't wish to presure you or anything.

You need to learn to chill! I can send in an application for you, and if you wish I can also create your pretender. Less angst that way No obligations, no expectations, just play and make the best out of your deal.
