Good luck everyone!

Thanks for setting us up and getting teams figured out!

Hello!
Is it still possible to participate in this game?

Best regards,

We will soon know if there are idlers. There usually are some. You could replace an idler.

There will definitely be idlers. I'd be shocked if all ten people who were missing 12 hours ago suddenly appear.

Of course I can step into someone shoes, but not sure which ones. I tough that registering profile and game participation at the main page is sufficient, but I see that I'm not confirmed yet.

You probably didn't confirm participation. Signing up for a game is the first step, you need to confirm afterwards.

There is a "feature" in the participation system that may be hard to figure out. It's possible to participate the game even after it has been started but it's no longer possible to confirm participation after that time. Before the start the confirmation is done by clicking the "confirm" button in less than 2 weeks before the start.

The technical reason for this is that all the players and their nations are created when the game is started. It's not possible to add more nations after the start. This is why we can only give idler nations to those players who want to join after the start. I'll reply here and tell about what nation you can take when we have better idea about the idlers. That's tomorrow.

wahazar, you logged in. That's great. Try again, and then write
/take jaran
on chatline. If it shouldn't work, ask in game.

OK, everything works ok now, thanks for effort.

Someone keeps taking my nation and switching my production wasting shields. :/

If you are playing yourself you can remove the delegation. However if you are idle for a turn or more, your nation may be delegated to someone else. Please talk with zoltan about the production. He has been playing for you and the team may have some plans or needs you should be aware of.

Josh,
If it's your nation so you can do what you want.

Red Team? Wait, weren't that the Mao worshippers and mass murder adorers?
I wouldn't believe them.

Also, "do what you want" has limits according to the rules of this game.

Those reports were grossly exaggerated.

Yes, Fran. It was said tongue-in-cheek. Yes, he can't betray his team.

But if someone starts logging into my nation while I am playing it, I'd consider it...

First prove you don't have a Mao bible. See? You can't!

A member of team Blue never would betray his team.
This has to be a redish problem ...

A witness account is evidence enough in the court of law. I do not have Mao Bible. There.

However, I do have Muammar Gaddafi's Green Book on my shelf. Also some booklet by Trotsky, explaining Kapital to beginners.
