As I understand it, map settings and the like should have been picked during the "pick a setting" phase, like your other zany proposals.
If you do want those settings, I guess I'm for three homeworlds (though that'll make contact quicker, it should reduce the random factor of starting positions), good quality, and I have no opinion whatsoever about maps (I'm not overly fond of your little "Wormholes closer to the centre of system" quirk, though).
That aside, I guess our game is ready to blast off. Well, except we'll both be busy for the next few days, and I still need to compute my Empire. And then my exams will come in crashing, but it shouldn't interfere much this year.
I've warned that I will have to bail out of SEIV in one of my last posts (on 29/11, 1847 UTC). I should be somewhere in the UK either as a student or a teacher in September, though the specifics aren't particularly clear yet. I'm currently writing a silly "write a letter telling us how good you are for the job" thing... I'd say it's boring as hell, but that would be disparaging. I've been told hell is actually a pretty swell place.

Actually, I was thinking the setting choices were for the "strange" items and that maps, etc., were a bit mundane.
So, we can forget the "Wormholes closer to the centre of system" thing you hate. (mental note: looks like Alneyan is already warming up to the English version of English)
So, did I hear (read) Balance mod? And no objection to a grid map? 3 good homeworlds? And if we get someone to set things up, do you think we should press for a nice manual placement?
And, in the OT arena, I must have missed the post concerning your future out of France. So, am I to guess you will be teaching French to the English?
PS: Work has blocked the forum and PBW. Grrrrr! So, I have to wait till I get home to post.
