[PB81] New Variant Game: A Tale of Two Continents

I'm tempted for the duel island with SD, but we should probably stick to your original premise.

I like barbs on bigger maps, but on smaller maps the opponents are the barbs. Without knowing how much space though I default to variance bad as there is already a ton. But th is one I'm fine with whatever voting decision is. My opponent getting shock on their units however.....

Yeah, the original premise is different skill goes to different islands tongue

So, im probably all alone on an island with barb subs right?

Normal/Cylindrical, most likely east-west but I might decide that north-south works better (but it's unlikely).

Ok, I'll need about 24 hours to decide whether I sign up. Or maybe more. On the one hand, after PB74 ended I told my wife to hide away my laptop if I ever decide to sign up for a pitboss game again. On the other hand, I really like this concept and want to play. So, I have a bit of a situation here and at least need to get my better half on board.
If someone takes the last spot while I am procrastinating it's fine though.

Wise man.

I'll note 9 players with 3 per island sounds fine too if someone else ends up signing up.

9 by 3 sounds interesting since that guarantees every island is a Mexican stand-off.
I'm just doing my best out here.

wtb 12 players for 4 per island.

5 vs 4 is entirely workable as well; biggest issue it gives us lurker a decision where to put the middle player...

So, me and my wife reached the following compromise. I am not signing up. However, if there will be no 8th player by the moment Tarkeel finishes the map, I will step in to make the game possible.
