I've been assuming "unserious". Retire to AI is going to be permitted, with the clear caveat that diplo with an AI must be limited to "Declare War" and "Cease Fire". Human replacement is ideal and will be attempted if at all possible...in PB13, clearly if I'd abandoned for some weird reason Mostly Harmless could have filled in without and worry about neighbor grudges or whatever. This is going to be big and sprawling, free-wheeling is fine.
I was planning on rolling random for leader/civ combos and then permitting trades if free (hint: NOT "trade or I'm going to just rush everyone" or "trade and I'll give you 1k gold on contact"). If you crazy kids wanted a snake pick I wouldn't stop you, however, it's not fast but it is a heck of a way to roll call. On the gripping hand, however, the random method gets you seeing all your leaders fast...
Formal request for Gaspar to spend a month's time giving his award-winning "pick and player" analysises.
I'll do it too in the lurker thread.

If only you and me and dead people know hex, then only deaf people know hex.
