I've updated the original post with the new map, 30h turn duration, and clause about abandoning the game.
HoleyDooley, I was noticing Whollaborg's absence myself. If he shows up and wants to play, that's fine with me, but I've opened the game up for one more slot. If he doesn't show up or we don't get any interest in the next day, I'll start the game tomorrow and we'll just play with 11.
Oh, and thanks to everyone for your thoughts and contributions, as well as your patience. I'm looking forward to playing with you all.
