It is most fair if everybody borders everybody else, but I would also prefer to have a back line. So how about a cylindrical map with four regions in a brick pattern? Or something similar in spirit, if Commodore has a better idea.

Yeah, it's brick'd. How about water %? Circumnav available?

Let's say this, I'm thinking right now a Monarch cylinder, anyone mind that?

Cross-posted with that, sounds good to me. Maybe no circumnavigation? No strong preference.

About the possibility of circumnavigation, I don't mind that being unknown.

That works for me as well. Water %, mapmaker preference for me.

Cool. We also need a turn order. I don't know who ought to go first of BGN and Dazed, does this work?

Mackalwe - Novice - BGN - Dazed

Given a turn order of A-B-C-D, the snake pick goes D-C-B-A-A-B-C-D, correct?

I would like Commodore to confirm that the map is (almost) done before doing the snake pick, so we don't get any dilemmas with map maker decisions affecting the value of the players' picks.

I'll get started on the tracker account, I think all your emails are floating around somewhere on the forum.

My play time during the week is pretty consistently evenings US Central time. BGN, when do you usually play?

Novice, for the tracker can you use dazedroyalty @ the usual, though for anyone wanted to contact me directly, it's johnmark1107 @ the usual.

Weekdays I'm pretty flexible. I have a tendency to play turns at work. shifty Weekends, usually I play in the morning. US EST.

Dazed, you can have your preference and I'll take the other slot. This is my penance for the good cop, bad cop routine from 29. neenerneener
