Spamage, I think you forgot to add Snowstalker.

[Gass3268]

Spamage, I think you forgot to add Snowstalker.

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

[Spamage]

Oh my gosh I completely forgot!!!!  I'll definitely add him next turn! Soo sorry.....

[homelycooking]

Would anyone else be in favor of switching to two rolls per turn?

I certainly would. There are a lot of counties in the Mississippi Valley.

[Platypus]

I wouldn't, soon enough we'll all have shared borders, and it gives too much advantage to whoever posts first unless we're very strict on the rule that whoever come lower on the roll list gets first choice of counties.

[Gass3268]

I think the main thing is we just need all of our participants to pay attention to when we have new rounds in the game. We should normally be able to have 2-3 rounds a day if everyone checks this thread once in a while.

I agree. It's taking pretty long. If you want my blunt opinion, I don't think we should be accepting to many more new participants now.

Though I wouldn't be against upping the number of counties we get to annex each turn...

I'd be cool with new people if they choose places where there is a ton of open space like Texas, South Carolina, Kentucky, Colorado, etc.

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

It's cool.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

I add DeSoto County (pop. 34,862) and Hardee County (pop. 27,731) to my nation.

[Spamage]

Notice- I'll be doing a "test run" of 2 rolls per this turn only for now..... if it works well we'll keep it.

Also no new members may now join. As pointed out earlier its getting a little crowded and also a little more difficult to keep track of....... Here goes nothing

We are ecstatic to announce the enlightenment of the people of Cheboygan and Emmet counties, Michigan, and Lucas, Ottawa, Sandusky and Erie counties, Ohio. We note that other nations feel the great lakes belong to them, and would encourage them to rethink.

We also seek confirmation that Emmet county links in to the UP.
