We have updated our Community Code of Conduct. Please read through the new rules for the forum that are an integral part of Paradox Interactive’s User Agreement.
You could play something else. There is plenty of fun options remaining.
We are hosting now so hurry up and join.
6 of us present right now.
Ended up with 7 of us, made a testrun for a few days and it seemed to work fine. But we lacked a Japanese player and most people in the rooster. Or was it 8 with Feacro IIRC? In that case I guess we could perhaps have played. But maybe it's just better if we wait for more people to turn up the next week, perhaps filling up all the majors and 2 or more entente powers (National France and Canada most importantly).
You people need to keep an eye on the thread and come in time in the future! Next time I will be home and wont rely on a slow mobile connection and petrol generator for the Laptop anymore. Hopefully we will be at least 8 then and conditions will be more suitable for a fun game.

We were 6 players, missing one for Japan. We did a test run and everything worked fine.
3 people didnt show up, others had announced their absence.
Trying next saturday, hopefully more will be there then.

I play the Union of Britain (if Colonel_general doesn't object - he seems to have it reserved but has not showed up today).
I think that 6 people isn't too few. Others could join in upcoming sessions. Anyway, has the game been saved or are we going to launch a new one next week?

I'd like to join, I have the version & gameranger. But I can't confirm my presence untill closer to a date and time.
My choices among the open/possibly open nations:
-Union of Britain
-Russia
-Italian Socialist Republic in the start and then jump to Iberian anarchists when they revolt.

Does nobody have Russia?
If so maybe I could take it, but still put me as reserve on Bengal.

u already tried to play? I didnt even know that all majors were already filled
Also, gameranger has never worked that well in the past to play games, hamachi or direct ip work best with hoi2

My modest experience tells that Hamachi is slower than Gameranger but more reliable. Non-hosts can experience game freezing occasionally. But it is just my personal observation, possibly distorted by my connection characteristics.
Someone used it yesterday, but as he hadn't played with it before, I think it would be best that someone with more experience play with it.
Wait...I never said that...I have played UoB before!
But as far as I know, Colonel_General reserved it first so I can play anything else. No problem!

I must have misread, so sorry! =P
What's the minimum presences for us to play? I think I read 8 somewhere, can't we lower that a little? I understand the less AI the better, but between people not showing up, big nations not showing up, possible connection issues by some people, it might be hard to get the same 8 people on the job every week.
And just an opinion in regards to the "country x not showing up" problem, maybe we could divide the players among some defined groups of countries, each with his own country but all ready to play the most important nations in said block should anyone not play.
I mean, there is obviously a problem for the Italian Federation player to replace France if he is supposed to play Italy next session, such as bias, conflict of interest, information on possible enemies. But there is no problem in the Iberian Anarchists player playing as France for a session, if they are allied and already working together. Likewise, there is no problem in the La Plata player playing Russia for a session as they are unlikely to have common issues.
To solve this, since we have a lot of players, we could create a syndicalist bloc with the players for UoB, CoF, CSA, Iberian Anarchists, Syndicalist India, Socialist India, then one for Mitteleuropa, ect. As long as two show up, we just fill UoB and CoF and move on with the game without wasting any time arguing or not playing. Unaligned minors replace the missing big nation with the least conflict of interest.

Let"s update the list of players.
I suggest that everyone declares at least 2 countries to play, ordered by preference. Thus we can make the list of possible players for each important country.
Anyone can also declare his preferred faction (Internationale, MittelEuropa, Entente) but of course, for many nations it is unclear which faction they would join.

Me and Samilou will be there every time or at least 95 % of the times. Gemany and Austria-Hungary are the most important countries in Mitteleuropa anyway (if not Russia turns in to imperial and join later on) though I suspect a two front war
. Bulgaria and Ottoman Empire will work fine with AI (anyone who wants to play them are free to do so though, might include mittleafrika as a possible playeble?). I like this idea for the other alliances to have players ready to play two different countries each session.
