I would like to join, am a MP newb, catching on quickly
Strengths, backroom politics, economy, and colonizing (likely not a factor 1412-1492.)
Would be happy to play a minor, perhaps Genoa, Saxony, Oman or such (wherever needed.)
Time start would seem about midnight Friday (Pacific time zone is -8GMT.) I have cable.

I'd like to play this weekend, possibly as Algeria or Morocco if they're open and you don't mind a relative newbie playing one of those countries.
No - people have made requests (like me a long time ago for Burgundy if we played 1419) but I have no idea how Mowers is going to allocate countries.
Well, if it starts Saturday July 19th, as seems likely, I will be unable to attend the first day's session. Oh, well, I can just appear Sunday and see if a player is needed
This is my current thinking. Thoughts anyone?
Play will start at 11am UK time, 12am European time. It is deliberately
later to allow some NA players to be involved should they wish to get up
early/ or just join later in the day as space permits. Play will continue
to late and continue again on Sunday.
Please wait in the Tsunami channel and make sure that you use your EU forum
name. If we have the required number of players then we will start. It will
use the latest beta.
Rather than wait till the end of September I have decided to run a number
of weekends over the summer, all sessions will be announced in advance.
Thus it will be a continuous campaign.
After much deliberation I have decided to start with the 1419 scenario. We
have nothing to lose apart from our 1419 cherries.
The original rule of play long term will be the basis of the game. I will
play small random powers so I can guide the game as fairly as possible
without being too involved. There will be 2 rules before we introduce the
Eastern powers.
1) No nation may hold more than 1 province whose culture that is not
included in the starting player countries.
There may be loopholes to this rule, it is expected that players attempt
to play in the spirit of the rule. It will only last a session or two so
there ought to be no major problems.
2) You may not discover America prior to 1492
The initial set up will be.
1419 start
1) England,
2) Castile,
3) Italian minor 2
4) Ottoman Empire
5) Venice,
6) Hungary
7) Mamelukes
8) Portugal
9) Italian minor 1
10) France,
11) Scotland,
12) Burgundy,
13) Aragon
14) Anatolian minor
15) French minor 3
16) French minor 2
17) French minor 1
18) Anatolian minor 2
Then around 1470-1492 those countries that have "replaced" the "mother"
country may opt to become that country, but taking their stats with them,
thereby inheriting their leaders and events.
Then we will remove the 8 weakest countries by regional grouping. The
exception being Burgundy who can become Austria and that the strongest
"French nation" will stay on.
This will mean that "alternative history" can develop whilst keeping the
game within EU event engine boundaries to avoid bumping into its
limitations. We will then add (with on 0% inflation)
Poland,
Denmark,
Sweden
Muscowy/Novgorod,
Lithuania
Eastern minor 1
Eastern minor 2
Austria.
Then there will be no rules apart form play long term.

I'm ok with it, though we might limit how many years or hours we will play each session, for sanity reasons. 50-75, as I've read before, or 2-3 hours?
And at what time (GMT) and day will it start?

50-75 years a session is alot, if you can do that per session then I am impressed.
It will be an all day affair with the odd break for drinks etc
Mowers will ask players who he sees fit to join most likely and then they will make their country requests. He might even pick countries for players ahead of time also, so he can balance the regions properly.

I would perhaps suggest the one-province-outside-culture rule be removed at some point later in the game to make it a bit more interesting.
"There will be 2 rules before we introduce the
Eastern powers."
Its only going to be in effect for the first day, opening session day 2 at most. So it will last till around 1470-1492 at the very latest.
Slargos you probably understand the ruling but for those that don’t.
Effectively it blocks off Germany, Eastern Europe and Persia until such time that we introduce those powers.
Regarding player countries, it’s a free for all but I would prefer to see the more infamous players in the French slots.

Probably, its certainly a step into the great unknown. There are going to be a lot of lessons learnt and hopefully they are not too painful. But if, once again, we can get the momentum of Tsunami to exceed the mass of players attempting to exploit in every which way they can then we should be able to break some more box office records and have an awful lot of fun in the process.
I'd be glad to play some french minor or france , and later move to russia if I get eliminated.
Or Burgundy would be a blast I think
