Being late should bring out the solo players. You arent likely to get a choice pick on a nation at this point. But getting a random leftover nation means you get to play with a ready excuse.

Even if you sign up now, you will still have the same chance as everyone else of getting the nation you want. Who gets what nation will be randomly decided by the host using a seeding system on random.org.

How many times are you going to even have the option to play in a 60 player game?

I would expect this to be a once in a lifetime chance. Although if this game goes well, I expect there will be a few more that follow it.

Personally I expect it to crash. Thats a long game and will take a LOT of computer to process the turns. Of course, the computer its on might upgrade 2 or 3 times while the game is running also. And Id expect a few patches during the course of the game.

Hmmmmm I wonder if I can join as Formosa. Come to think of it, Im pretty sure I can. Might be rough to hold onto until the nation gets patched in but it would be fun to have it in place for the upgrade.

Such pessimism Gandalf. I fully expect Velusion to be running a top of the line Core Duo that will easily handle this big game. At least I hope so

Actually - that is what I'm running. I would be very surprised if it crashed due to lack of resources (something I've never seen).

It just might take about 10-15 minutes to process a turn...
