I won't play because my time zone is too different from yours. But if this gets off the ground, I expect an AAR!

:rolleyes:  Time zone is a poor excuse.  If you're actually interested, why wouldn't you at least see what time we'll be playing before categorically rejecting the idea?
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

It should arrive early next week, I suspect.  Amazon is pretty good about their stuff arriving speedily.  Of course, if you ordered from one of the Marketplace vendors, you're playing Roulette with the delivery time...

Will you be playing between ~11pm - 9 am Saturday night/Sunday morning EST? Because that's the most convenient for me. I'm 14 hours ahead of the US East coast, so I'm usually awake and free when you're all sleeping.  :P

But okay, I won't definitively rule it out.

Maybe we can play a mp game together. I'll send gamersgate an email tonight about my payment problem (or should I send that email to paynova :unsure: )

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.

Basic rule of thumb before buying anything that's been out for longer than a month : check three difference places.  Then check three more.

That's for hard copies though right, there isn't another place for a digital download than Gamersgate is there? (Steam maybe?)

Yeah, the cheapest digital download that I found was 16.67 from Gamersgate.

I am in, assuming we play Heir to the Throne, altough I see this is becoming an American game.  I may have a couple of free hours on weekday evenings (GMT), more on weekends, well, Sunday at least, plus I will be at home during the holidays.

You got a problem with America bub? But seriously with the slant of NA to European posters not too surprised, but then again it is only 7-9am over there :P

This could actually be fun. I presume it won't be with the latest expansion though?

What times would we be talking about?
