You'll be Power #1 until we have all ten players. Then, countries will be randomly assigned. If the power numbers jockey around, no need to fret.

Hey Sandy, why the REALTIME rule?

REAL_TIME
If this rule is used, the game will be processed as soon as the last player submits orders (this player will have no opportunity to modify them). Additionally, players will not be allowed to direct that the game wait for any deadline before processing. This rule is used especially for games with very short deadlines (for example, 10 minutes).

Maybe I haven't thought it through, but this rule sounds like it would be pretty frustrating if you meant to change your orders at a specific time, ie lunch, and instead find that the game processed your "interim" orders insted. I know that I use the "wait until deadline before processing" box a lot, and I'd be screwed up without it.

You need to activate your PM or send your email to me at: fnaqzna at gmail dot com.

And make sure you know what you're signing up for:

For those that haven't played before, you need to be aware that this game is a long term deal. Games can last 6 months. You'll need to submit your orders a few times a week. If you miss, you'll have a small grace period to get them in. Either 1 day or 10 hrs if SOB's change gets implemented. You can put the game on hold if you go on vacation or something else comes up.

If you can't commit to the whole game, please don't play. If you're someone who quits the first time they get backstabbed or start to lose territory, don't play. Nothing screws up a game more than someone quitting. So if you can't stick the game out until your last army, please don't play.

Okay... I was thinking that more often than not, the players complain about other players using the "wait until deadline" box.

I'll remove the rule and let you guys sort that one out.
