It's probably a better idea in general to play on weekends so those who are on traditional work schedules aren't left out. That said, I'd be able to do it tomorrow. A definite start time would be a plus - an hour is quite awhile to pound the join game button.

I work 9-5 PM on week days.

That time, 11 AM EST (and a weeked start is ideal) is sort of tricky on Saturday and downright impossible for me on Sunday. A start somewhere on the afternoon, PM side would be nice.
And if we don't want this to be a complete mess, we should probably choose nations now

Well, if you're playing during the day on a weekday, I can`t play.
This should be on a weekend afternoon to be honest.

Agreed. And clearly the game isn't starting in an hour; four out of seven people have yet to even respond to the newly set time, let alone say if they can make it or not.
Edit: Sunday @ 2 is fine for me.

I would play, but I'm going somewhere on Saturday-Monday, unfortunately. Good luck.

What time zone? U.S. Eastern?
I claim Chimu.
Just kidding. I'm split three ways in which country I want.
- Ottomans. Plus: Seems like a good country to play, lots of events. Minuses: I've somewhat played them once before, but that was to 1500 and was as the Greek Orthodox Ottomans, not the Ottoman Turks, and was going poorly due to putting too much effort into (ultimately, unsuccessfully) helping Byzantium capture Italy.
- Sweden: Plus: Strong in the region, some events, possible expansion in multiple directions. Minus: Have played them for 30-40 years, start the lesser partner under Denmark.
- Hungary: Plus: Haven't played them before, could have interesting political/war situations. Minus: If anyone else is playing Austria, or to a lesser degree the Ottomans, it could end fairly poorly. Then again, with Austria next door, it could always end fairly poorly.
Given the selections of Castille and England so far, I think the Ottomans makes sense as a power of similar caliber, so slot me as them for now. Depending on what others are interested in choosing, I could be persuaded to go Hungary, and (less likely thanks to the PU), Sweden.
Also, a few groundrules might make sense. I'll propose:
- At most 100% warscore in a war with the human. Truces with humans must be honored for the full 5 years (including any agreements that EU3 can't enforce).
- You can't cede provinces belonging to other humans in a peace deal without their agreement.
Also, if we have Lucky nations, I suggest we make them random. Though I admit this is partially due to me thinking Austria doesn't need any more help than it gets even when not Lucky.
I agree except with lucky nations. It will be turned off. It seems however that it will not be for tomorrow because lots of people can't make it so how about Wednesday at 12 p.m. eastern time.
Also anyone else have any ground rules?

Well if you do that, then you'll have the same problem that you had when you tried to schedule it on Friday.

Yeah, Wednesday at 12 PM is a definite no-go for me. The other possibility is that people can always join the game in the second or third session. We'd probably want some common-sense restrictions so if England is about to trounce Scotland, we don't have a Scotland and France join and make England's life miserable. But if someone wanted to join as the Teutonic Order or whatever, I see no reason that would be a problem.
If this is still the time, I can play, as Bohemia preferably.
Although, I need to know if we are still using Death and Taxes, and which version.
