Thanks for the replies!

Is it possible to switch from TCPIP to PBEM?

I'm thinking have everyone agree to an weekend afternoon/night (dependant on time zones), set up an irc channel in a little window, pound through the first 25 turns on a server and then drop into a nice relaxing PBEM games

What I really need is a test buddy to try these things out.

that sounds excellent. get the first part of the game out of the way in a nice little mini-marathon, and then settle down to more thoughtful/diplomatic turn/day or turn/2days.

that way, as well, there's less reason to have a small, cluttered, cut-throat map.

up to 6 or 7 players on Karan (orania if more), magic 50 or 55, indep str 6, hall of fame 15, 1 starting province? (or 4 or Orania. 2 provinces is too random as the extra one might be great or it might be crap)

oh, and I'd vote for having the stats off, as the information given by them just seems so illegitimate in an MP game.

If you do get one going I'm definitely up for it. Jot or Marignon or Ulm.

I might be interested, but it's likely that the "semi-marathon" start will be a problem for me - I'm in Europe, so if the majority is west of the Atlantic, my possible semi-marathon times are likely to not be the same as for the rest of the crowd...

Otherwise, I'd be in as Man.
