The Great Kerfuffle: Paradox Interactive 3-way, multiplayer PBEM

A few days ago, I started the process for an EAW PBEM with AARs over at the Paradox Interactive Off Topic sub-forum, and it quickly ballooned into a three-way game which now has six players. We'll most likely be starting tomorrow night, but for those members of this community who are also registered, active members (I don't think you can access their OT forum if you just lurk) of the PI forums, feel free to put in a bid for a country.

Linky, and read the OP for the process. Naturally, we'll also be copy-pasting the AAR threads over here when that sub-forum opens, but I won't be able to copy over the comments and strategy discussions.

Just an update. We now have 10. Yes, ten players! :w00t:

I'm really hoping the team can open the AAR forum for us, because this is going to be ridiculously entertaining.

He will take part in the game, of course. Silly question :) Each of the factions have their own discussion threads, and I suppose Japan player will actively take part in that (I don't know though, as I am Italy and will be away and underground until September 20th, after which I hope I will be in the game on somebodys side :p ). Some players have more to do than the others, but I would say you could call all the players as "high command" or "staff officers", who can take active part when strategies are planned and discussed :)
