I think 2 week to a year timescale can be exhilaratingly too fast really.

Modern era.

Continents & Islands/Archipelagos both (ie, mixed. This could also accomodate Marina's "cracking Pangea" scenario, which sounds cool).

1 month = 1 year. If we go too fast we'll quickly have all sorts of "I have t3h future tech! Pwnz0rz joo!" arguments).

Some sort of 2000's-era tech level to start with.

1. What year do we want?
The two options on the Table are 2008-2012 or 1930's

I vote for a modern setting.

2. What will this new world be like?
Some people have throw around a Pangaea type world, one super landmass with everyone squeezed in somewhere. Last time we went with islands for everyone, do we want that again or the Pangaea idea?

We might try a normal world, with continents and islands.

3. When are we starting?
Dates have been thrown around but what's the official everyone's happy with?

Doesn't matter to me, but it might be easier for timekeeping purposes to start on January 1, 2008.

4. Is the old time-scale ok?
For the record it's One week equals one year so every day is a roughly 26 day period. Do we want it slower? Faster? Just a change(IE One day equals three weeks which means we would have a new year every 17.3 real days)
Timescale? What amount?

The old timescale works. I say let's keep it.

Get you opionons in here, I'm going to do a review and redux post this evening to see where we stand.

Well, I think the "cracking Pangea" is the best compromise position--it means we have two large landmasses close together with a dense archipelago between them.

I would prefer modern era, whether that be turn of the century or 2008 is irrelevant to me.

Why not do both? Have some island nations and some on a continent depending on preference. I can work with either though an island nation might work best for what I have in mind.

1 January of whatever year is decided.

More to come

I prefer 1 game year per 1 real life month.

I also support the "cracked Pangea" world model.

1. 2008
2. What Duchess said.
3. September 1, 2008.
4. One Year (game) = One Month (real)

Why September, if you don't mind my asking?

1. Modern Tech

2. I like Duchess' idea.

3. 2008

4. 1 Month = 1 Year

Because that is about the time that the game starts back up in. About 2/3rds of the way into August.

I see. Thanks for telling me.

modern

Give me enough volcanic glass that I can make black concrete
lots of Tar
lots of land

I want to build this time, make so much butter, that the countries with guns will be loosing population to me while I construct things that will put anchient civilizations and FDR to shame.

you know, re-direct rivers, build through mountains, build giant walls along my borders with massive commerace tunnels, tunnels to other islands, I wonder if I can build a few "Wonders of the World"?

What was the GDP of the Tsardoms again?

I'll be ready to maintain continuous moderatorial duties from the point of August 21st forward, for the record, at least until the end of January.
