Q: If you ban Ermor then why keep R'lyeh?
Q: Are all other LA games available to choose from?

How much time do we have to prepare and make up our minds re. nation picks?

* I intentionally stayed away from fixing the hosting scheduled upfront (like I see you doing) since the people who normally play at a slower pace might be small/at peace/otherwise in a situation where they're fine with the schedule and thus there is no need to slow the game down. As I said though, I do intend this to be a relaxed game, so rest assured the turns will get longer as needed.

* I really see no reason to ban LA R'lyeh after the nerf/fixing of the popkill rate. I will admit not to have played them since, but from theoricrafting I would put them at a mediocre powerlever at best now, and everything I've heard about them from others confirms this. I also see no reason to ban any other nation. (Do you?)

* I have no specific start date in mind, I guess it depends on how fast signups go. I'm guessing that with waiting for signups and allowing a couple of days after nation assignments to practice a bit the very earliest we could get started is the weekend after this one.

Fair enough. I trust you not to make us slaves to dominions with crazy schedule

I can't say for sure as with all the changes I lost track of current LA R'lyeh.

Just quoting myself here (even though I only gave my personal oppinion, and didn't interfere in Dimaz' decision) to restate that I have no intention of forcing anyone to play faster than he's comfortable with, but, unless I misunderstood Dimaz' post, this isn't a question of a player needing more time, just of being unsure of internet availability, and that can be handled just as well by keeping an eye on the Llamaserver to prevent accidental stales.
