Well, the problem with that is that I explicitly brought this up in the planning thread for this game, and when I did, you gave your consent for having the map played however it was first rolled.

1) Just rolling up the first map, and using that, letting be what might generate
2) Giving the mapmaker discretion to re-roll or edit a map in order to have what he would consider a "fair" start and placement for everybody
For issues of clarity so that we don't have another re-roll, please indicate which method of setting up a map you want for this game, method 1 or 2.

Now, I agree that this map looked unbalanced, and I will run it through novice's analyzer when I get the opportunity to do so. But based on what people advocated for when I set up the map, including yourself, I think there shouldn't be any question that the game needs to play on as is. This isn't due to any personal beef or opinion - if I was in your position even with your skill level I would be despondent too - but since this is how I was assigned to set up the map, I feel it should be played on.
