Nobody's commented on whether they'd be happy with me making the map or not.
I recommend banning GLH, FIN, Colossus, and the Dutch.

I'm fine with you making the map NH so long as you get feedback. That applies to anyone though.
I think the ban list is relatively settled save Colossus.
I've got some dirt on my shoulder, can you brush it off for me?

No objections here. I'm ambivalent about seeing the start before picking

Sorry guys, I think I'm going to have to invoke caveat #1 and say that I'm not going to be able to do this.  The map concept I was thinking of doesn't really work with this number of players.

I can make the map, although I don't mind stepping out, if there is someone else who wants to try.
Assuming archipelago/small continents you probably want more balanced and less natural? Please put all your settings/bans... somewhere here or to opening post so I could start this evening.

Thanks Plako! We're actually think Tiny Islands, which is even smaller landform-wise than most archipelago/small continents maps. Mirror-level balance isn't needed, just probably edits to ensure no-one's starting position is massively better than anyone else, and there aren't any huge imbalances in territory/resources.
Settings list:
Trait bans (if any): No Fin
Civilization bans (if any): Dutch
Wonder bans (if any): GLH, Colossus
Unit bans: WE, Nukes, Spies.
Corporations (all allowed/none allowed/no Sid's only): Sid's off.
Diplomacy (Normal/CTON/In-game only): Normal.
Barbs (on/off/raging): Off.
Espionage (Passive only (typical RB setting)/Active allowed): Passive only.
Coastal Blockades (on/off): Off.
Any other sundries you can think of: Huts off.

And did we agree on starting screenshots before snake pick?

As I read it, only Commedore actually got around commenting on your question, saying that he believe we should, and i believe that it would be nice as well
But that doesn't stop people be musing about what picks they would take if the chance offers itself, given that the map doesn't scream against it

With Sian's comment, that's three, so also:
Starting screenshots before snake pick.
