Oh, well my preference is for AI diplo anyway. I'm perfectly fine with that. And I'd rather not play Mao again.
Since I support the random leader / civ / map options, maybe you could throw me in with Azza to grant a "mostly but not entirely random" exclusion -- I'd rather not play Mao again
. So if the random selection gives Azza Rome or me Mao (or was there someone else with a specific nagging leader/civ?) the map rollers could chuck that selection for another available option from the 18 combos rolled. But whatever, I've shown how overpowered challenging PRO can be over the course of my three games played here. Still, it's only partly why I'm still eligible for this game! 
So...I think we have 10 teams now. Waiting for more? Someone needs to tally our votes so far. And then there's the bit on hosting the game. Unless Teleh just wants to set up a host we could probably ask Sunrise089 and get this thing going sooner. He can probably run another pitboss instance on his server. As long as our game doesn't require a mod he can accommodate another pitboss instance I think. I mean, what's five games when you're already hosting four?
(Someone please correct me if I'm wrong -- I think pitboss can run on ports 2057-2062, so that makes 5. And the mod instance, in our case, always takes port 2057, so until PB8 ends we can't host another modded game on his server...but that doesn't look like it applies here).
