Well, I might as well dedlurk here, seeing as how it's the only team made up of people I recognize/played with (though the fact that it's now a Team Gillette reunion certainly helps 
) I'm not sure how much I'll contribute--to be honest, the reason I've hesitant to make any action is that I assumed this game wouldn't get off the ground (the unknown host, the drama surrounding Parkin, the rules arguments, and the lack of familiarity with the players among others), but it looks like this game may actually start 
Now that we have 9 teams, if we assume India and Inca are worth picking over civs, who are the top 7 civs in the dark? How much does it depend on what the other civs are? (Other than Industrious, do other traits get worse in multiples?)
And I'm really interested in playing against Haram and Barteq, if you catch my drift--has anyone heard of them?
