I can help manage the game, since no one else has volunteered themselves.

Let's stick with the current map though.

Yeah, I like the map. There are a surprising number of wasteland sites that are tagged as Large (and therefore have higher income/resource/supply production rates) from the little bit I've looked around. Your comment about someone who starts at the south pole having to go through the north pole is entirely accurate though (unless it's Atlantis, then they get to go underwater), so I really hope that didn't happen. Also, the cave systems let you get almost anywhere remarkably quickly, so unless you start way in the heartland of the eastern wastes or in the south pole you should be able to get to provinces with fields (or at least non-wasteland provinces) without too much issue.

I'd highly recommend playing a handful of practice games through turn 20 or so to get a grasp on neighbor connections if you have the time. Or just playing one or two long ones, whatever works best for you.

I read somewhere that if a cat falls more than 11 stories, it instinctively flares its legs out to increase air resistance. This slows it down enough to stick the landing with relatively minor injuries. In Dwarf Fortress, apparently, cats don't do that.

I have un-started the game. You can send in your pretenders.

Should somebody other than Atlantis start on the south pole, or in other silly place, say so and we'll restart again.

Karlito is going to co-manage the game.

Ok, I'm willing to continue with the Warhammer map.  I was only offering the option of changing maps in case somebody else wanted to.  My summoners will enjoy the current map immensely, bwah ha ha!

Uh, where am I sending my pretender?  If the same server, it looks like our pretenders might already be logged in.

Pretenders are already submitted. Same as before, but you can change them now if you want with the same process you used to submit your pretender before.

It took me FAR too long to come up with that Pretender, there is no way I'm changing it.  But thanks for the option.   :P

Oh, there's no need to resubmit? How nice.
I'll set the game to start right away.

And no, I didn't start at the north pole. I moved the camera so it wouldn't show my starting province.

Haha that's a great random name. I got so many Gandalfs playing test games I briefly debated a Lord of the Rings theme before I realized I don't know nearly enough about the series to do that.

I'm certain we could have fed you names.  I used to own the books.

So... as much as this will reveal me, I started in the south pole. I'm ok with is assuming there's no one at the north pole.

Guys (and more specifically, whoever is currently adminning this game), I'm going to be out of town from Friday to late Sunday  (I can't bring a laptop with me). I'll probably be able to send my turn in Friday morning, and possibly won't be able to send one until Monday morning. So... when the time comes (3 days from now), can we have a turn extension until 12AM GMT on Monday?

Well, your units do have sailing, so you should be able to invade the southern shore, somewhere.  So it doesn't matter if the north pole is inhabited or not (I'm assuming it is).

I didn't start out in the north pole this time, so I'm enthusically happy about that.
