Archduke doesn't fancy Austria. It looks like Damocles is it. May the pope have mercy on the republic of venice.

Holland - Lotus

Denmark - ? (Melchior)
Portugal - ? (Rezag)
Brandenburg - ? (FAL)

With the three players being moved: FAL, Rezag, Melchior.

Now, Rezag has said he can play portugal already, but I also need input from FAL and Melchior as to what you'd like to play and if you are ok with this move.

I don't like this massive shuffling actually :)
I don't think I'm safer in BB (afterall, a weaker nation) with Damo still as my neighbour. I don't think that Melchior is safer in Denmark, with Sweden as neighbour.
I prefer keeping Austria. If I become invaded, so be it, who says I'm going to be overrun? Besides that, if there are players who care about balance, they can interverne ingame.

Think about it. With the above set-up, you won't get a balanced game. You will get an annexed Denmark & BB :D

Something else: why base games entirely upon reputations? If you're doing that, you'll get a self-fulfilling prophecy. Geeh, HG is a good player, let's put him in OE instead of Poland. Gee, Damo is a good player, let's move him from BB to Austria :rofl:

Your fears are largely unfounded because Slargos already reversed the roster, right when I was happy with Austria. (Which I did ask for first :/).

But the reshuffling wasn't to make FAL and Melchior safe, so much as to prevent a black hole of arseraping in Austria and Ottoman Empire that would destablize the game.

Wanna switch reputations? Then I'll be able to play juicy countries like Spain and France, which I haven't played in a regular game SINCE TSUNAMI I, and you can get stuffed in Poland and Brandenburg. :wacko:

The reason why the newest players aren't put in majors is because it ussually ends up in a raping and a greatly unbalanced game, unless all majors are new players. If you end up with some half-assed crap like MachII where it starts out with all new players in majors then ends up with all the most powerful majors played by veterans, it gets ugly real quick.

Frankly, I don't think any 'new' player wants to be put in a country surrounded by HG, Archduke and Peter and be expected to wage war on them!

And you are hardly a new player :/

This will be the third game where I will participate in. With the first one hardly be serious (stopped after one session :rofl: ).
The second one isn't finished and was played with many subs and with constant switching. (DU).

So, I have no experience at all with strong players building up countries to the max :)
