Thanks. Can you give us the usual specs for sandboxes like map size, speed etc.

[Tarkeel]

Map dimensions are 40x40, 745 total land tiles (including peaks and deserts) for 145 per player but it feels less. There are no clearly defined areas, and the borders are worth fighting over without being overly lush. I think it's slightly more food rich than my other maps, but I tried not to overdo it. Also, I don't think I added a single plains sheep.

Normal speed, standard size, toroidal wrap.

Sorry it’s been busy week, voted and we’re all set to go, we’re doing snake pick, although I think we should do it inverse of turn order as Tarkeel suggested so we should figure out time slots first. My best time slot is 8-10am PST although if I miss that I’ll make it in the late evening PST

[Tarkeel]

There's a window discussion in column N to P of the sheet; 8-10 AM PST is 4-6 PM UTC, so I think it should work out to something like this:

SD 12 am - 7 am UTC
Mjmd 3:30 am - 6 am UTC
Bing 1 am - 3 pm UTC
Ginger 6 pm - 8 pm UTC
Charriu 7 pm - 10 pm UTC

Some kind lurker please randomly determine who is first in turn order and then snake pick will be 5432154321.

[El Grillo]

Random.org rolled a 1, so from:

SD 12 am - 7 am UTC
Mjmd 3:30 am - 6 am UTC
Bing 1 am - 3 pm UTC
Ginger 6 pm - 8 pm UTC
Charriu 7 pm - 10 pm UTC

SD is first in turn order, and the snake pick starts with Charriu.

Tarkeel does each player have accessible islands pre Astro for ICTR?

Access to islands has been part of the balancing act.
