I know we originally were going to wait until September for Amicalola. When exactly are you thinking El Grillo? September 1st?!?! Thats only a little over week from original start date of 8/23. Mid September I would say 8/23. As far as signups, if we are starting 8/23 we can leave signups open for a few more days I would think?
BTW I get El Grillo again if he isn't playing, unless he wants different scenery. Mainly just to stop 5% of my stupid decisions. Its something at least.

Vanrober and El Grillo, welcome, happy to have you!
Commodore, how much time do you think you need from confirmation of number of players to getting the map ready? I suppose we should make the signup closure dependent on this, and EG's available starting date. I'd be happy to take off with 8 players, but 9 or 10 would be even nicer
Amicalola, at this point I'll sadly scratch you from the roster. I'd you manage to play please tell to re-sign you up. Otherwise maybe you want to participate in somebody's team?

My start date preference is mostly about minimizing overlap with PB51. While it would be fine if I do end up having to play both, especially quick opening turns of this one, I’d like to keep that brief. I saw September mentioned as a start date earlier in the thread, which seems like enough of a buffer, just wanted to check the players weren’t thinking of starting ASAP.

Original date was Aug 23rd, but we had thought about moving back for Amicalola sooooo is Sep 1st good ish?
BTW have no clue why PB51 overlap would be an issue. Its really easy to play those turns in less than 10 min  . Anyways, that game is moving somewhat slow, so just let us know.
