Ah. Fair enough.I thought you were just being cautious and giving new players more out-of-the-way countries, which would have been understandable too. But I would have vouched for Snow being a good-enough player to have Denmark, or at least Ethiopia.EDIT: Snow is not a WiR player, but I've roleplayed with him elsewhere and he's not bad.

Snow's choice specifically was not dictated by the stats, but by the fact that I wanted there to be a Chinese player to balance the Japanese player. I was actually quite disturbed by the fact we weren't going to have a Qing player; as I feel that is one of the more important positions to have filled.

All for using old stats, but several factors must be touched up on.

1. Blockades are too effective.
2. The Chinese army is too easily modernized and China is too centralized.
3. Britain's army is overly good.
4. A distinction between home and colonial pops.
5. Literacy rate and prestige must matter.

If at all possible, could we use Chatzy?

There is hardly anyone on the chat anyway so the limit isn't much of a problem...
Or at the very least not 10 at a time.

I hate to be a dick, but I'm vetoing that. I loathe Chatzy, and use Coldfront for every other game I am involved with, on multiple forums. To have to divide between the two would be cumbersome. Sorry :/

[Pepperm1nts]

I don't think I've ever seen a full chatzy room, anyway.

Why Brazil, again? Great I might as well just do what I did in the last WiR. It makes it easier for me.

You don't have to play if you don't want to.
We wouldn't want you to not enjoy yourself, because if you aren't having fun what the point :p

[Pepperm1nts]

Do something different, then. There is plenty you can do. Take a more aggressive stance, maybe. Build-up your fleet and try to dominate South America.

You're just mixing my words up now, aren't you? I didn't say fuck at all.

Calm down.

Nota bene: Rare is kicked and banned. Narc is Bavaria. This is my final ruling, and cannot be appealed or overturned.

Good day to you sirs.
