I moderate the KODP list. So far, none of the other 98 people have had trouble joining. If you like, I will add you to the list manually.

I've done it as both a Vingan AND an Ernaldan AND an Elmali. I suggest that you might take the question over to the KODP list where folks will be happy to help you. My take is that you need to have a GOOD diplimat and some very peaceful orented emissaries (My game auto-selected the Chalana Arroy and Issaries types, even though the CAs were NOT my best diplomats)

Nope. Sorry, my game HAS a Female Queen who just won. As have several other folks on the list. I suspect that the rest of your arguments may be more suprious than you think...
