Spoiler Original Post :

Unlike last time I tried to do multiplayer, I now have reliable Internet available for the forseeable future. I might be interested, particular if it's 5.1.
 
We will be using Death and Taxes 8.0 if it's ok with everyone.

If you're going to play on Death & Taxes, use and older version (versions 4 and 5 are generally considered the best). The later versions, especially 8, have extreme feature creep and I would stay away from them, personally.
 
Loads of unnecessary features that don't really do anything but be annoying (for example, pushing the start date back to 1930... which is a completely arbitrary date).
 
:agree: with Mosher.

Anyway, I'll be able to join depending on what time it is. School starts for me on the 27th.
 
Don't set a concrete limit; just play until someone has to go.
 
i actouly signed up to comment here.

would rather play 5.1 over D&T, D&T has some realy brokne features and is very unbalanced.

i would like to start playing in about 16:30-17:30 GMT
 
That's 11:30 - 12:30 EST for anyone on the East Coast who wants to join. I'm fine with that for tomorrow, but we'll have to change once school starts or no Americans will be able to play unless we do it on the weekends.
 
Once school starts that won't be a problem cause I have school too :p. I live in Canada so same thing.
