Glad you won in 97, Marc! If the doggone email hadn't eaten my turn the WW
would still have made the end. Oh well.

Subject: [mepbmlist] Re: Starting positions for new players
Fair enough; I can write up something along these lines if folks are
interested. At least for the frontline positions, the logic was that
these are not the best introduction to the game; at minimum an "are
you sure" message would be helpful. This could also help get the more
experienced folks into these positions which are frequently shunned by
them. A lot of experienced players would rather have someone else
take the thankless Northern Gondor/Dragon Lord punching bag roles 
Completely backwards from what is ideal for a good game, IMO.
cheers,
Marc

Marc,
I think that a bit of advise along the lines that you have suggested
would
be a great idea on the Harly site. I wouldn't try to prohibit
players from
a particular position based on experience though. It is hard to
enforce,
puts Harly in a bad spot and maybe some one REALLY wants to play
Saruman or
Galadriel their first try.
I think a beginners guide to nations would be appropriate.
