LET'S DO THIS! Sign me up.
(Wasn't the new nations an even 1/1/1 split between eras?)

In the spirit of the first post, I won't double-check but just say yes: EA Rus, MA Uruk, LA Incestuous Fish.

I'd volunteer to join this madness, but in good consciousness I'll be spending my earliest Dom5 time looking at all the changes very, very carefully to help make NationGen's 0.7.0 release happen sooner rather than later, so I feel like I'd be a rather bad match for the game theme. ;p

No worries, it is expected that some mulling over the changes will happen. The theme is just to keep the mulling over to minimum - as constrained by time, not desire. Hence we start within, uh, 96 h sharp.

I've no idea about the new nation roster. If 1-1-1 is how it is, then by the power bestowed by me, it'll be EA.

I am definitely signing up for this and don't mind going in blind. Let's hope it turns out well.

Also, you are going to put the people playing into the OP at some point, right? If only to stop people from sniping a spot once the game is open? Or something to that effect.

We solved that last round by making it private. I will also be signing up.

More specificaly, make the game private then send a PM to each player who signed up with a link to the game. That will allow each player to see the game name and see what nations are in the game.

Like many things on Llamaserver, games being private is less high-tech than it might seem. It pretty much means you put a message like "private game" on the game page.

Il Palazzo, if you're not overrun with players and can deal with my having 96h to drown myself in mechanics, I can take a spot. I'll probably just have a strong understanding of basic mechanics and a totally unrealistic judgement of their impact, so I'll really likely be as clueless as everyone else, just in a different way and with more overconfidence.  :P

For those of you who might be interested:

WH should be ported within 24 hours, and a "balance triage" mod should be coming out at around the same time to address certain pretender gods (demilich, thrice horned boar) and nations (EA Pan, Yomi) that are a little out of the ordinary.

Timer is a go. The game shall start on December 1st, at noon GMT.


We'll wait two more days for players, at which point I shall choose a suitably-sized map. Then y'all have two days to send in your pretenders.
Once you dock your pretender in, and only then, you should announce what nation you're playing.

I'll also make arbitrary and unreasonable decisions concerning all the other rules.

So, haven't gotten this just yet, (Although I will be a proud owner of Dom 5 later today), but I heard something about there being a small amount of maps?

So how about this; for maximal blindness and !!FUN!!, we let RNGesus take the wheel for this one, and go with a random map!

I opened up the thread to suggest a random map as well. We'll get the nice winter overlay.
