Might be room for more people, but we're waiting for Jun 28-July 1st, for Panther to get back.

I would like to join, I have the possibility to setup a 24/7 host. But I have never hosted a game before, so I might need some help, specially on how to assign the players to the nations.

I will give some instructions on my Pretender to Panther, so he can create a Pretender for me and get the party started. Not sure *who* can play my first few turns though... but games are tough to start, so it shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Alneyan, I can sub you if you need - as long as it is for a couple weeks, and first turns aren't very long to play...

It is for one week or so (the game won't start before July 1 at the very earliest, and I am back on July 9), and probably less than that, depending on how quickly (slowly?) the game gets started. I will forward you some generic information on my preferred Pretender designs; of course, I will have some trouble covering all 17 nations, but...

Ideally the host won't participate, so as to ensure the anonymity. I guess technically it's enough if the dude randomizing the nations won't take part even if he's not the host, but I suspect there would be other advantages and convenience in combining the functions.

We really do need an independent host, or the game will *really* take forever to start, with not even the host knowing who is who, so not knowing who to yell at for having not uploaded their pretender, and then the players wouldnt have anyone to go to without revealing what nation theyre playing when they mess up their pretender design using the wrong mods... Also, we need a host who would be willing to check every once in a while and see if any gems or anything is being sent between players...
If we cant find a host by the time the game is supposed to start, I could drop out and host it. It would just have to be PBEM, though, cause I cant host TCP/IP.
