New / Returning Players PB Game

[RefSteel]

Is it a problem to play Pitboss on Linux?

No. Works fine with wine so long as you have a graphics card less than 10 years old.

In case it helps, Ramk walked me through the process of setting the game up here.

Great.  Let's go!

I can get the map started once the voting spreadsheet is passed around people decide on the settings.

Since we have some newer players I set turns to simultaneous instead of sequential and difficulty to Monarch. Other voting options below:

FYI I'm going to be gone for the next week. 

As far as map, something land heavy but with some water and islands. At least 13 tiles between starting locations. Capitals make sure they are fairly nice; these are new / new ish players. 

I've assigned some ded lurkers based on thread conversations, but if any of the signed up ded lurkers has a particular affinity to any of the players feel free to sign next to their name. I'll either ded lurk / help with map / answer questions. Whatever is needed.

I've done a lot of work on the map. If the lurkers are willing to give the OK, there are a set of starting screenshots ready to go so players can start making picks. The map itself could be ready to go or may need further tweaks, but I will not be around until next tuesday to make adjustments if those are desired. If someone else wants to take the worldbuilder save and make any finishing touches / get it ready to put on the pitboss server, that is cool with me.

Ohhh,  it's a pity.  But don't worry I will keep your offer for a future round.

Hola, giraflorens. I will be your dedlurker for this game, if you will accept me.
