This would make better countries

Good idea. Getting 14 may be a stretch at this point.

If six people post here saying "start now", then we'll start.

Also, please make sure that you have PM'd me your email. I've played with most of you before, so this is primarily for the newbies.

So far I've just played one match against a human opponent - I think this qualifies for newbie.

Don't care much about the settings.

Looking forward to the game.

It will put you at a disadvantage as you'll have to essentially ally before the game starts. You won't be able to see the set up. You might be far from each other. But if you don't have a problem with that...

It'll be great to fill the game with 14.

let his boy play this will be fun

82-TH-CB-LB-We-H2-JD-Ne-Ja-H1-SG-Al-TP-De-toXX-????.at3

Where XX is the next player's two letter identifier.

Where ??? is the turn number. 001a, 001b, 001c, etc. When the turn gets around to 82ndtrooper it would be 002a.

Example: 82-TH-CB-LB-We-H2-JD-Ne-Ja-H1-SG-Al-TP-De-toJa-005i.at3
5th turn with Nego just completing his turn and jagular next to play.

82ndtrooper = 82
Tophat1812 = TH
Casus_Belli = CB
LazyBoy = LB
Webizen = We
Harley = H2
Jay Doubleyou = JD
Nego = Ne
jagular = Ja
hadley = H1
SailingGuy = SG
all5n = Al
TPM = TP
derstralle = De
