Jaguar - finished, Szumo declared winner

[llamabeast]

Yep, meant to be starting nowish. I haven't got zakna's pretender yet though, and it seems a shame to start without him. I've e-mailed him though, so we'll start as soon as he gets his pretender in, or late tonight (UK time) at the latest.

While we're waiting for zakna, I want to ask Szumo if he's a Lovecraft and/or Cthulhu fan.

Have you seen the "Misadventures of Hello Cthulhu", the various statues (including an 8 foot garden statue) available online, Cthulhu for President (Why vote for the lesser of two evils) and the various Plush toys (Get your niece a plush Cthulhu today! Scare the kids, push them further towards insanity).Oh, and "Tales of the Plush Cthulhu".

I'm trying to make myself an avatar of either Pintsize from www.QuestionableContent.net (which despite the name, is entirely SafeForWork) or oh, say, one of these little fellows. Problem is, gotta factor in the size of my digital canvas.

Nope, i had other reasons for choosing R'lyeh

Hmmm.. What were those, may I ask, or would it reveal your master plan?

It should become evident soon enough.

Bwahahahahahahah

Okay guys, the game will start as soon as zakna has uploaded his pretender (and he told me by e-mail he would do it soon). I've spent some time choosing nicely distributed start provinces, and then I've assigned them vaguely thematically. It's not perfect by any means - it seems something of an impossible task actually - but hopefully it will be a bit better than random placement.

Brownie points to the llamabeast. If you ever want some advice with the GIMP or Photoshop or Paint.NET, hit me up. I don't have much creative talent, more technical, but given source art, I can do some nice things with transparency and layers.
