SD.net Multiplayer EUII Game(1492?)

I was wondering if those of us who play EUII here would be interested in running a longterm multiplayer game, starting in 1492, when all of the major powers are firmly in place.
I was thinking of a weekly thing, where we play an hour or two, then save and leave off. A European-centered game would probably be best, because if one person played China and everyone else played Far Eastern minors the game would be...uneven.
Any thoughts? Also, I would prefer to play under the vanilla 1.07 patch, without any of the beta patches.

YES! I call dibs on Genoa! You should keep a chart of who's playing, their prefered country, and their timezone.
The game is Europa Universalis II, Crown. Look it up, it's cool.
EDIT: I change my dib to Genoa.

Right; so, Starship, what is *your* timezone?
BTW, I call Sweden.

Sure. If we were playing GC, I'd pick England, as I never get tired of conquering France. I'd like Brandenburg for 1492.

We're playing Age of Exploration...this seems an odd game, already we have two minors and a medium power.

Right, so far:
Myself(Sweden, EST)
Starship(Genoa, EST)
LowLight(Brandenburg...?)

I have a problem with Paradox's patch page, it won't load. I'd only be able to download a beta...

I'd be interested. I got the game on sale for like $10 and then never got around to playing it, so I'll be a n00b.
EDIT: Wait, what the hell am I saying? I'm going to Chile on Tuesday and not taking my computer. The game won't be done before next Tuesday, will it?

Well I think we'd play every Saturday for around 2-3 hours and you can always pick up a nation (I think). Of course, I'm sure no one minds waiting a week...right?
I suggest you play Spain or France.

No, I mean that I'm leaving and not coming back. I'm doing a semester abroad. Oh well, if you guys do it again after I come back (Christmas) I'll be up for it.

Ok, so, we've got
Me; Sweden, EST
LowLight, Brandenburg, EST
Starship, Genoa, EST
Blkbrry, France, ?
4 is a bit low, 5-7 would be perfect...

I've changed my mind yet again...I can't settle on anything as of yet, but I'm working on it.

Ok, now I've finally decided on Muscowy/Russia.

Hmmm...I hope so. It probably depends more on how much RAM you have and the host's internet connection. Do you have cable, Hemlock?
If it's really bad, you can play the Golden Horde.

I have DSL.
Lennox, timezone?
BTW, Starship, I can send you 1.07 if you want...
