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.
-J. R. R. Tolkien

Through a method that was purely random (sorting players alphabetically by Languish nickname for seating, then rolling a die to see who goes first), play order is as follows:

1st: Solmyr
2nd: Tamas
3rd: Celedhring
4th: Habbaku

Which means we're off to Solmyr to start with initial province selection (to place his starting governor, general, militia, and legion in a single province with support level 1). Then Tamas, Celedhring, etc.

I started a Dropbox folder, but haven't put anything there since there's nothing to do except setup at this stage of the game.

Habbaku deals from the bottom of the deck.  It's true.  That's why he's no longer allowed at the Virgin Queen tables at the Bellagio.

Did the players volunteer or is there a draft?
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

Sounds Gallic. I'm watching you...

Habbakus Minimus Bulbus, meanwhile, looks on from his governorship in Egypt:

With the Empire set up, it's off to Tamas to start us off. For the first few turns, I suggest you rigidly follow the sequence of play, IE, don't forget to roll for an event as the very first thing you do and don't forget to build your new hand before passing the turn off to the next player.

Shouldn't we select our hands first? I went ahead and did it. File is up

Yes, but the first turn hand is pretty scripted. There are only two realistic options if you plan on acquiring a second province during your first play. If you really want to slow down the game in order to make sure people don't "cheat" on their first hand...

Isn't it my turn first?

Also, you fuckers let Habbaku be all alone in the east (Tamas doesn't count since he'll die quickly).
