Okay. I'll go ahead and play man Let me make up a pretender and mail it in.

Just so people know how fast to design their pretenders and so on, I would really like to get this game started by Thursday (or before of course, if everyone ends up being quick).

[Sandman]

Having reconsidered my time constraints, I'm going to have to drop out of this game. Sorry! T'ien Ch'i is now up for grabs.

[llamabeast]

Okay, no worries Sandman. We now have one free slot then.

Last night I tried out this map with my pretender and all 22 players. I was crowded in a corner and only managed to grab 5 provinces before being boxed in. I suspect that some players will have it as bad as I did, while others will get lucky with significantly better expansion opportunites.

Since Tien Chi bowed out, we might want to consider limiting the game to at most 21 players to slightly limit the crowding.

[llamabeast]

I'm easy either way. You're probably right actually, but there is something exciting about getting all 22 nations in. Anyway, if other people think I should close the game at 21 players, I'm happy to do that.

[zakna]

ok i choose Jotunheim

[llamabeast]

Cool, I will be Atlantis then.

Ah, I forgot to say - it would be a little better if everyone's pretenders _didn't_ have passwords on. Unlike a network game, no-one else will have access to your turns anyway (they won't be e-mailed them). If you don't have a password it will make it easier for a sub to take over should you disappear.

It doesn't matter too much though (especially if you don't intend to disappear ), so don't worry about re-uploading if you've already sent your pretender in.

And here I fought hard to remember to put in a password
