PB13 reroll method seems best.
Forum for lurking and spamming would be nice.
I like the idea of handling pauses on a case by case basis but with the velvet-lined glove/iron-fisted Admin making decisions on reloads. It goes without saying with this many players there will inevitably be delays, so we as players should anticipate this (and correspondingly work on our breathing/relaxation techniques when the inevitable delay occurs). That said, we must all be uncommonly conscious and courteous to the other players of our obligation to play our civ in a timely fashion so we do not unduly hold up the game and ruin the experience for other players. This needs to be followed rigorously with so many players, so if you know you are the kind of person who may be unreliable, please prepare in advance to accommodate this by recruiting a ded-lurker, brushing up on your communication skills in the tech thread, or bow out now. I anticipate there will be several stretches that I am going to be away from civ, and I will work hard to make sure my absences will not impact the game. Please everyone do the same.
I think however Sullla decides to report the observer civ will be highly informational and entertaining. I don't think he really needs any guidance on that, he's one of the best reporters we have. Just do it however you prefer, and if you're willing to be a temporary sub at times, even better.
Edit: I would also like to see some decision made on city gifting. I'm not highly enamored with how it is being handled in PB13. My preference would be for city gifting to be banned unless it is part of a peace deal. Perhaps peace deals should also be banned and we just use cease fires?
