TJ from Oregon just PM'd me and looks like are up to 6/7 interested players!

He's hoping he doesn't end up with one of the most difficult Empires (Austria-Hungary) to play like did last time around, but sounds down for the cause!

So are we getting close to a 7 +2 backup scenario yet?

Haven't been counting numbers, but it seems like if we're not there yet, we might only be missing at most one or possibly two, depending upon how one counts the numbers.....

So, what’s the next step? Lottery for spots?

Update: So I pinged Muon2 a few days back, and he has been busy with some family activities over the past few weeks, hence his lack of activity recently (We all need a family-work-Atlas balance sometimes!!!).

Since I guess I was the "ringleader" of trying to restart a new game, I guess it seemed easier to reach out to one person rather than the inevitable back on forth responses on the game thread.

1.) Muon2 reaffirmed his interest in being the "Judge" (Which I gather is the preferred term) of a new game!!!! THANKS MUON2    Smiley

2.) His biggest challenge is finding where to host the maps in light of Atlas new policies regarding posting images within the gallery

3.) He asked if there were any particular house rules that we would consider beneficial.

So, on that note there were a few posts on this thread from players of the previous game about potential items to consider as part of a new game.

     A.)  Although the 5.0 rules require the "Judge" to interpret illegal orders accordingly, the question is do we want a house rule that requires the Judge to notify a player of an illegal move and gives them a brief window to correct (3-6 Hrs was thrown out as an option by Muon2) hence minimizing disruption of training new/rusty players, but also allowing a 2nd chance for players to correct and make the game more accessible to new players.

    B.) It seems pretty clear that the consensus is that at minimum we would like (7) committed players, plus a few backups in reserve possible to minimize some of the items we saw in the last game that disrupted game play when players unexpectedly dropped out. I'm assuming this is still where y'all are at?

   C.) Any special House Rule changes that players would like to see before we move forward with the lotto for spots, since it seems like based upon posts here, it looks like we have (7) committed and potentially a few backups already lined up?
