The Guidelines:

- Please select at least one major nation (United Kingdom, France, Austria, Prussia, Russia, Ottoman Empire, USA, Sardinia-Piedmont/Two Sicilies)

- Please select at least one secondary nation (Spain, Mexico, Portugal, Belgium, Netherlands, Sweden, Japan, Persia, Bavaria et al.)

- If you know or suspect that real-life commitments shall force you to miss at least 2 game sessions, please express a secondary or minor nation as your first choice

- please select a minimum of 3 choices overall

Disallowed Selections

- Any nation with 3 or less starting provinces
- Korea
- Only one nation on the Italian peninsula will be selected for the roster
- only one of Denmark or Sweden will be selected for the roster
- nations which do not already exist on day 1, will not be released on day 1 for play

We shall not assign any roster until January 31st. If you have any concerns about being neighbours with a particular player, please contact myself and Felicity privately via PMs or Steam or TS and we will try to accomodate everyone. Anyone who has been unwelcome to my games in the past is welcome now, unless you were banned from a previous game for repeated rule violations.

Hey sorry about not being able to join last game, this timeslot forces me to wake up early on my Sundays which wouldn't be so bad except I am also playing in Saturday and Monday HOI games around the same time, and I couldn't commit to waking up early for 3 days in a row to play video games. I'm done with the saturday game and I should be wrapping up my current sunday game within a month, so I now have more time to commit to Vicky.

My choices are:
Sweden
Spain
Austria

You will probably want to submit a new list of choices. I don't mean to single you out, but you've been with us for a few years now, and I really cannot recall a campaign in which you lasted the whole way through, or even more than a few sessions at most. So I really can't give you any major nations until you have finished a campaign with us. I have to be firm about this in the interest of the game as a whole, I hope you understand. Thanks.

Would anyone not yet assigned a spot, or having not yet signed up, be willing to put Prussia or Austria to a first choice? As regards France, I may take it myself to guarantee a reliable player in the spot. It shouldn't be too bad on me since I have Felicity in a minor nation still for the co-GMing. Truly i've been wanting to play as Japan for a year now, but responsibilities have forced me to take other nations to those point.... If anyone apart from Matt (either already signed up or about to sign up) would like to consider putting France on their list of choices, that would be wonderful

In case Gren ends up not being available, would anyone not already assigned to a GP be willing to put Sardinia or Two Sicilies on their choices list?

I can be Prussia if you like. That way, you can play as Japan. I've updated my choices...

Thank you for volunteering. I did talk with Felicity, and had to put myself down as France because France is more important to fill. But I will re-mark you as Prussia and give Austria to Kunarian.

Gren says he will ask tomorrow about getting Sundays back to play. If that doesn't work out, maybe shampoo could be our Italian player.

I would find it unwise at best for you + all your friends to be placed in the same general region, particularly when a fourth unaffiliated person is also in the same region. While I also don't want to judge your interactions before it starts, it's probably better for the game overall if you all are interacting with different people rather than one another, which is what will happen if you're all in the west hemisphere or west hemisphere + japan.

Can I change my country to Spain? I just re-read the rules about cores and I wouldn't want to play Sweden if I can't make a deal with Russia for Finland. Spain is a more important country and seems better for me because its more isolated.

I haven't noticed any in particular, no, especially none that would dominate an entire segment of the game world.

Was that an admittance of the intention or were you just being facetious? Brazil isn't unimportant, nor is Japan. Them being inexperienced only leads me to think more that they'll just do whatever you tell them.

For instance, we could give your friend Brazil, and then the other could get Persia or similar or an Italian minor if Gren ends up being unable to play.

Plus they didn't even follow the signup rules since there are still GPs to be filled and adjustments can always be made prior to game start.

You can make a deal for your cores still, its just that it costs an extra prestige hit to do so now. This is mainly directed at the more extreme cases of core surrender, like when France and Germany swap Alsace-Lorraine, Austria just gives up Venetia and Lombardy to Italy for Free, Mexico surrenders the entire Southwest US without a shot, etc. But to be fair, the rule has to cover everyone, not just a few pet peeve cases. The idea is that it encourages real rivalries and the occasional great war before great wars are invented. Otherwise the game gets a little boring for some early.

I do understand though where the penalty hits Sweden a bit harder than it would Germany, Italy, or USA. Let me put up a mod discussion thread, and put a proposal for a mod change that might mske life a litte easier for you, but not something particularly ahistorical or unfair. I would need the acquiesence of the Russian player to it.

If my proposal is a no-go, then Felicity and I could see our way to moving you to a more important nation like Spain. I don't remember you, though I can see from your post count that you have played a game or two in the past with us. Do we need to worry at all about your attendance or time for forum engagement, if you were a bigger fish like Spain, Japan, or Italy?
