Re: First Newbie game, let's discuss how we proceed here
While a democratic attitude is a good idea, getting TOO democratic leaves you trying to decide/vote/etc on Era, victory conditions, any nations banned, how many to have in game, map, etc.
Pick an era (EA is a good starting era), set how many you would like to have in (anywhere from 8 to 12 is a good number) and pick a map (you can always change it).
This way you at least have some things to talk about instead of having 12 different opinions.
People have a habit of getting antsy and seem to not want to stay around if there is too much time with details.
REMEMBER, a lot of times first games have a lot of people that start but drop out quick if things go a little wrong, so a BIG game is likely to be more of a pain for you than a smaller game.
Just some hints...GOOD LUCK!!
