I apologise for my inappropriate barging into this thread, but as it seems that Pegasus will be going over to PBEM 8, I would like to forward my request to join this game as a sixth player. That is to say, of course, if you are willing to have a sixth player; however, like Pegasus, I will not take offense if the answer is no.

I don't mind inviting a sixth player. The game is in an early enough stage that we can expand the roster anyhow.

Serdoa, you sleep?!?!? 
I hate to be a bad guy but I would prefer not to move up to six players simply because PBEM can get bogged down slowly. If I'm outvoted, I'll still play, but that's my preference.
Regarding, gifting units and cities, I agree with Serdoa as well. Basically, no cheese!

Quote:And for question 1a) after thinking about I would rather have us pick the leaders ourselves. None of us knows how the map looks like so if someone wants to gamble that we get a map full of water, it is his own risk - otherwise I could see potential issues with the map-maker having a hard-time if one of us disagrees with his pick
So what's your preference on method of choosing? Choose anything? Fin/Phi banned? Fin/Phi limited (Bob's suggestion)? Restricted or Unrestricted leaders?
Edit: I'm going to agree with Dazed, I was hoping to hard cap this game at 5... Ruff just offered to start a 4th game it sounds like - might want to check that out .

That's quite a good point. Thanks for the heads up on the 4th game.

1. Leader choices:
No preference (scooter)
Picked by mapmaker (SleepingMoogle)
Limited based on Bob's suggestion (TT)
Unrestricted (Dazed)
Phi/Fin banned (serdoa)
Scooter's vote would help out here a lot. You want to cast a tie breaker vote?
2. Map trades:
None until paper - Set
3. Contact:
None until meet in game (SleepingMoogle, Serdoa, Dazed)
PBEM3 rules (Scooter)
None till Alphabet (TT)
I'm switching to none until met in game just to give a majority vote. I suggest we lock this one in.
4. Play Order
SleepingMoogle - 9:00-11:00am GMT
TT - 9am-2pm and 9pm to 12am GMT
Serdoa - 5pm -9pm GMT
Dazed - 10pm-3am GMT
Scooter - 9pm-4am GMT
5. Unit Gifting
Allowed but buildings requiring unit levels cannot be built until own unit reaches XP level (Serdoa, Dazed)
Waiting on (TT, Scooter, SleepingMoogle)
6. City gifting
One way gifting only and not to prevent cities from being captured (Serdoa, Dazed)
Waiting on (TT, Scooter, SleepingMoogle)

Agreed with both.

Fin/Phi banned - unrestricted
Though I really do not care too much if unrestricted or not or if some traits are banned or only allowed if coupled with "bad traits" like pro. I only would rather have the fun of thinking about what leader to pick then to get one I maybe disagree completely with.

Sure.. I'd vote for Fin/Phi banned with unrestricted leaders. So any civ + leader combos, so long as you don't pick a Fin/Phi. Think we're good with that right? Also if we go with that, I would recommend going with snake pick. Are we also okay with that? If so, I'd ask someone who's not playing to just randomize our picking order, and we can do that today.

Agreed - None until meet in game is the winner.

Agreed. we have a clear majority so 5 and 6 are locked in too. All we need is an "okay" for snake pick from a few of you guys and we can get started on that.
