Yes, because my scattered island outposts clearly compare with the spectacular majesty of Siberia.

Okay Cleric, thanks for the map it was very helpful. If you want Belgium to make up for the territory that was lost to Havoc just let me know. That should more then balance that out without making you spend more in Home Territory.
Colony-wise, Slacker you and Cleric are both claiming Aden (that's modern day Yemen) see if you can work something out.
Sunhawk it's up to you but I don't suppose I could get you to play an Asian Power? As it stands you're gonna be all alone and isolated as hell, not that is gonna protect you. I bet money that several players will eye Madagascar before game's end. If you want to play an Indian power (say Bengal+Burma for example) there would be players to interact with and no one would have a preset grudge. If you don't mind starting with an pre-set enemy you could play as part of China and end up my arch-nemesis. Still if you want Madagascar, you get Madagascar.

I have no problem giving up Aden. If Socotra's unclaimed, I'll grab that, or mayhaps Diego Garcia. Basically a waypoint between Zanzibar and India would be nice.

Hadri, you're still the biggest empire in the game. If you want colonies knock yourself out, otherwise you're just being excessively Russian here.

Klavostan also claims the islands of Mauritius, Palau, and Guam, and part of the Spratleys.

Steve already claimed Guam.

And Palau. In fact, I could swear I told Klavo I had Palau (which, I'll add, are considered the west Carolines, which I claimed in entirety) when we laid out the concept of a Klavo-Pacifican War over New Guinea.

And they total out to something like 1/100th the entire scope of your territory. I get you're getting the whole Russian lebensraum paranoia thing going, but let's not equate Siberia with whaling ports.

Okay true, Siberia will still be churning out resources in a 100 years. You'll be lucky if you can turn any portion of your whaling ports into Martha's Vineyard.Slacker wrote:And they total out to something like 1/100th the entire scope of your territory.

Anyway, I was mostly being silly there in the hopes of building up to a good punchline, and I wish to thank Magi for being my straight man.

I know the feeling. I'm starting to wonder if I shouldn't extend my colonial claims.

I think I will take Jordan, and I'll snap Jamaica up since I have a little bit of room left in the Colonial budget.

I really like the colour that Magi picked for Russia. It's a beautiful burgundy that's simply perfect. Not only is it dark enough to not be confused for traitor commie red, it also very well matches the background of Muscovy's coat of arms, which is itself present in the centre of Imperial Russia's coat of arms.

Sorry ladies and gentlemen, but I'm going to have to formally withdraw before the game gets going. However, I will be watching.

Suppose I shouldn't ask for the Philippines, should.....
*is beaten bloody*
Actually, I think it'd be interesting if we gave Hotfoot the Philippines, even Guam as well (I have the Carolines already anyway). He has Panama after all, even if the Canal's not finished the Panama railway provides a decent enough line of communication from Atlantic to Pacific and a naval base on the Pacific side, maybe Tahiti, Tonga, or any other southern Pacific Island chains for further coaling stations, would at least provide some interest in Asia if we can't get a replacement for Japan.

I'd be cool with that.
I'd also be cool with claiming Taiwan, but I'm probably not.

Well, thanks to frigidmagi, I think I shall join up as an India where the Mughal Empire got its own version of Frederick the Great and thus the subcontinent never got gobbled up by the Europeans... or at least not as much, as I see the southern tip has been claimed as a colony already, this will require a bit of work. However, it looks like a fair amount of Southeast Asia remains unclaimed, so I suppose I could take that instead, unless the current claimant would like to negotiate.

Alright ladies and gents, I want a quick sound off on what starting date you prefer. It keeps coming despite me thinking it was settled, so let's get it done now.
