I will be moderating this game. (yikes!) And subbing for anyone who does not take their turn in the 48 hour period, unless they select a different sub, or if I am presently at war with their faction. In which case, I will ask a neutral party to sub, whose competence in this game I have witnessed personally on the battlefield. So make your passwords, substitutes, and faction selections known to the game moderator.

Please read this thread in full, as it should bring you up to speed on what's been said so far, and it should give you an idea of how this faction selection thing goes.

Note to all players:

I will be watching certain factions like a hawk until turn 2 is over, because I need to axe the AI spawn stacks. No hard feelings to your dead family members.

ERE and Turks get Ai spawn right off the bat, and maybe others do as well. If you notice your army has suddenly doubled in size, don't be a bad sport, let me know so I can axe them.
