First off, another round of applause for all the work you've been putting into this -- 70 pages is a lot of stuff. Some very impressive stuff.
That said, unless I'm looking at the wrong megapost it does appear you've overlooked at least one approved claim -- Serpenteye has allowed the Brotherhood to officially stake its place among the Suel Barbarians, as their protector and benefactor. (It was way down at the end of one of his posts, so it's understandably easy to miss.)
Once you get around to the update, I've also set up an email account for Brotherhood relatiosn -- craylor@rowf.net ... You can go ahead and stick that one in the megapost (if it gets spidered and spammed, I can just shut it down once the game is over)
Oh, and while we're giving applause, mega applause to Serpenteye for all the work he's done thus far, and all the work he continues to do. When the players are having fun before the game has even started (and I am, at least), that says something pretty strong in favor of the guy in charge
Finally, on the subject of work, if there's anyone looking for work to do, does anyone want to keep track of public alliances? I know none have been made public so far, but there will be some, I'm sure, that people will want to be -- alliances designed as a deterrant against aggression, for instance, don't deter much if people don't know about them. Anyway, just a thought.
...oh, and Anabstercorian and Nac Mac Feegle: The Brotherhood would like to formally acknowledge the receipt of your communications, and assures a more complete response in due time. (Read as, I'm too lazy to type out longer acknowledgements at the moment, but I will later

To James: I would hardly call you a moron!! You seem extremely bright to me, and hard working. Kudos on your map. Even if it doesn't work in the end!
We were unable to create a large scale Oerik-wide map for the 3rd IR. If you can pull this off, James, you will add a dimension to the 5th IR we never had. So good luck on your efforts!
To Guilt Puppy:
Actually, 3 people have claimed the barbarians. Zelda, yourself, and Paxus. I read (I could be wrong) that Serpenteye has awarded the barbarians to Zelda (and thus Airwhale) since she claimed them first.
It's a lot of work, the megapost, yes. But YOU - THE PLAYERS represent most of the text in that post!
I have taken links you supplied, source material you took the time to write, faction information you wrote, current doings you set down, and other creative stuff you made. I'm the accountant (with a good case of eyestrain) who is trying to organize it so that everyone can read it and enjoy it (and get a better idea of what Greyhawk is all about and what is going on.)
Yourself, William, Thomas, James, and a lot of others have supplied enormous amounts of Greyhawk material. So much we could practically make our own setting, or match the information in a large setting boxed set!
Sometimes I wonder if the WOTC people will take a look at what we have done, and consider incorporating any of it into their world?
And Jame's map, if he can make it work, is going to ROCK. So say I, Edena!

I have e-mailed everyone in the IR.
I have just gotten my own e-mail up and running (I went for 4 months without an e-mail, but the IR required one. It took 6 hours, but I got it up and running - I hope!)
I hope everyone will reply to my e-mails. That way I will know if my 6 hours was worth it, or I must put another 6 hours into dealing with my ISRP!
We'll see ...
And yes, MEGA-APPLAUSE to Serpenteye.
Gods ...
I ran the 3rd IR, and it was 8 to 12 hours a day, every day, day and night, for 3 months straight. No breaks.
And Serpenteye's rules are FAR MORE COMPLEX than anything I created!!
I'll say this, go easy on Serpenteye on Turn 1!!!
Everyone is going to have misunderstandings, and misinterpretations. Trust me: take it in the spirit of fun and light heartedness. Because if Serpenteye is deluged with unhappy players, upset players, and questions, I think ... well, I have to wonder if ANYONE could stand up to that kind of pressure?!
For that matter, I can't believe how well Serpenteye is doing. His resilence and endurance is notable. Perhaps he is accustomed to working 80 hour weeks? 12 hour days? LOL. Yes, he is one tough DM.
Let's just say, I wouldn't run a marathon against him. He'd win the Boston Marathon hands down.
PUBLIC alliances?
Well ... public alliances are just that: whatever the power in question allows you to believe is a public alliance! (grins)
For example, Paxus's Wolf and Knight Otu's Dragon are public allies ... or are they?
And it would seem Thomas and Xael would ally, since both play elves. Or ... will they?
(grins evilly)
Beware! I know from experience ... nothing is as it seems, in an IR! (Unless it's Forrester, and his power (the Humanoid Alliance) honestly hated elves. All elves. To the death. So ... why did he end up with the daughter of the Queen of Evermeet as his willing concubine, and end up as King of the Evermeet Elves, who were his willing and loyal subjects???!! Hehe ... in an IR, NOTHING is as it seems!)
My power, the drow - the Empire of Eclavdor - is publicly allied with the Empire of Iuz.
And it is obvious that my power is on friendly terms with Anabstercorian's power, Paxus's power, and Knight Otu's power.
You probably know that my power has made friendly overtures with Melkor's power and with Creamsteak's power.
And that's where it stands, with the Empire of Eclavdor. At least, that is where it stands publicly.
On a final note: Guilt Puppy, all the areas on your map are now claimed EXCEPT: the interior of the Amedio Rainforest, and the Corusk Mountains. I am just wondering who will claim those?

And thank you, Anabstercorian. I'll put your e-mail in now, and send you a test e-mail. Same with Guilt Puppy.
Cheers to you both.

Melkor, I will send you a reply (probably by the sblock way) to your post.
William, my power WILL react to what has just happened in your power!
Give me a little more time. I've been busy with that megapost of late ...

Ok, final post for the night. I have a good case of eyestrain, and gotta get off.
I think the map James is setting up rocks, and I'll be happy to help color it in, if asked.
Hempmonland needs to be divided up into at least 2 quadrants. The Empire of the Yuan-Ti, a part of my power, holds the interior of the southern half of the island, and has at least one port city. The Yuan-Ti have otherwise avoided the coastal regions, since the Scarlet Brotherhood has been on the rampage there for decades.
About Eclavdra and how she appears:
Think of a comely elf maiden just come to womanhood. Maybe the equivalent of 19 in human terms. Her skin is milky white, her hair is raven black. Her face is soft and gentle, her nose soft, her lips delicate and pouting, her ears cherubic (and not overlarge, the way they commonly depict elven ears, but human-sized.) Her eyes are almond shaped, hardly slanted at all, and expressionate.
Her body is that of a maid of great beauty, delicate and pleasing to male eyes. Her hourglass form is pronounced. Her breasts aren't large, but have filled out into young womanhood.
Her hands are delicate, the fingers long and supple.
Her voice is a lyric soprano (high soprano) and she speaks softly or whispers, most of the time.
Now, take a photo negative of the above.
This girl has soft, silken black skin (not glossy, not midnight blue, and NOT green-black! ... but black, like the night sky.) Her hair is milky white, soft and lush and thick, falling to her waist.
Her irises are a stunning scarlet (but NOT like an albino's, and they do NOT glow!), but otherwise her eyes are quite normal.
Aside from skin, hair, and eye color, the girl is just as described above.
She wears slippers of mithril (they must be magical), shining mithril armor that hugs her like a second skin, and gauzy robes of a (somewhat) see through ... these robes are royal purple, and they shimmer and reflect the glow of any lights in beautiful fashion ... almost magical in their grace and beauty.
She has a beautiful and delicate mithril coronet on her head. A beautiful, ornate scepter of shining mithril is on a slender belt of the same metal at her waist. Around her neck is a necklace of mithril beads, and between her breasts it ends in a large gemstone, which glows with a soft white radiance.
She carries twin long swords, the hilts of which are ornate.
She also wears an ornate symbol of Lolth, and this also hangs at her waist from her belt - in the dead front center. It is made of gleaming mithril, and in the light of the gem it reflects brightly.
To the casual onlooker who does not know better, here is a beautiful girl that perhaps one might want to get to know better.
To the elven observer, it's a sight to fill that elf with horror, awe, and terror, and send said elf fleeing as fast and as far as possible from said apparition ... unless that elf wishes to embrace the call of Lolth (who does indeed desire elven worshippers) and convert to her faith.
