10 people? On ARAN? You're kidding right? I don't think there's that many decent starting spots on the map, and it'll suck to be the poor chump crammed onto the peninsula with 4 other people.

Aran is a nice map for single player games, sure.

But frankly - it sucks (as in, it's one of the worst) for multi player games, imo. There's far too many totally screwed up starting positions (for instance, the far SE corner but especially the tips of the peninsulas) that really ought to be made non-start by Illwinter (since it's one of their official maps).

10 players merely ensures that some people would be screwed and tattooed, frankly. I'm kind of fond of small map games (and wish there was more nice small maps), but I've sworn off Aran.

Urgaia, Cirlani, another small map, sure - but not Aran, ever again.

What does 6:00pm on Mars means on earth?

I'm asking because in this thread (http://www.shrapnelgames.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=74;t=002975) we're looking for a fixed host (12.00h UTC) as well, but on weekdays only. So maybe we're compatible?

10 is considered a reasonably tight, but playable, fit on Karan.
