Perhaps someone else will be willing to be moderator? You dont' really need all that much gaming experience! The rules are very straight forward.

Ok, I'll mod. Lightzout can have my position.




I'll give you guys 2 days, because of the new player. How does that sound?

Get me your builds ASAP.

Tul'rak Sky'ree, commander of the Hallifax Imperial Army is ready to play.

Fallen you can have my position if you want and I will GM, because in the period it has taken to start this game up, I have started a PBeM game with my usual group so I am already playing in one, so I could GM this without feeling left out. If you are ok with that, just foward me the builds you received so far.

Wouldn't it be sort of unfair, since I've already recieved some builds and spoken to players from my position as Hallifax?

You migrated!

Nerf Migration!

Not really its not like you have seen orders for turns only the initial build which is pretty much picked for the players by position anyway.

Eh. Its ok. I'll just mod this one. I don't feel right about going back into the game, at least not as a different nation, given that I talked to quite a few other nation, which could prove an advantage.

Just missing Shorlen. I'll give him a prod, since he probably missed the GM change.

Ok, shorlen quit...

I say we have Aly GM, let Fallen back into the game, and start all over.

I know I sort of regret asking for serenwilde as my first choice.

this way anyone else who isn't able to play, or anyone else who wants to join can do so?

If Aly's the Moderator..isnt that an empty slot? Or am I just confusing things?

We don't need to start over. Just find someone to replace Shorlen. The game hasn't even started yet.

People have started negotiations, therefore the game has started.

You're being very anal about this.

Argh.. such a headache >.< Ok. Dia, do you want to take Shorlen's spot?

Not, really... If people change up again I'm going to have to tell everyone to ignore everything I said, however they won't be able to do that. It would be much easier to say that its a new game. Part of the negotiations is working with the personality of the person, not just their physical location.

So who else wants to join this game?

Sure, I can. Ill just need the rules link.

Edit: Also, the game can continue as is. When new leadership takes over, things change. Or they can keep with the old changes. Shorlen was Ackleberry right?

Thanks, Dia.

However, Dag brings up a good point, and I think i'm going to take that into account.

1st, I'm going to shuffle the starting positions.
2nd, I'm going to assign the builds.

The result of this is that, starting after this post, it'll be a "new" game and we'll actually be in the movement prep phase. I want to get this game started, and this method of letting people pick their builds is just too clunky.

Sooo.

Dag: Gaudiguch - Army(Gaudiguch), Fleet(Eternal Flame), Army(Skarch)
Dia: Glomdoring - Fleet(Gloriana Bridge), Army(Glomdoring), Army(Ravenwood)
Rauros: Celest - Army(New Celest), Fleet(Pool of Stars), Fleet(Isle of Light)
Aly: Hallifax - Fleet(Matrix), Army(Hallifax), Army(Lucidian Observatory)
Ytraelux: Serenwilde - Army(Tosha), Army(Moonhart), Fleet(Southern Serenwilde)
Lightzout: Magnagora - Army(Necropolis), Army(Magnagora), Fleet(Spectre Isle)
Shyshaeia: Ackleberry - Fleet(Avechna's Peak), Army(Honeysap), Army(Ackleberry)

I'll edit in the map in a few minutes.
