I think I've had it up to fucking here with this website. Y'all can set up your own fucking games, I give up.

GJ dont get it wrong, we really appreciate the job you and all lurkers done. I made several maps for pbems myself and I know how hard it is to choose everything.
The first set of options confused us and in the thread it sounded like "may be they will be slightly changed".
Of course we accept new set and will play it out. Thank you again and please dont get everything so nerveous.

If you had really loved those combos, then why not post here that you did? How were any of us supposed to know that you felt that way and already spent a lot of time discussing them? If you had saw my post in the tech thread, and then came in here in any of the preceding three days and said "We really like the three combos we were given, is there any way we can keep them?" we probably would have been fine with that. The second three were meant to be an upgrade for all in consideration of many various factors, after all. So, if you had gotten what you wanted, that's fine. However, it is too late now. We don't want duplicates and some of those civs appear in someone elses' choices. Please pick from the second three.
edit: My reaction is way too extreme; my feelings are broader than just your specific issue. Its not you guys or even just this game, but I seem unable to type a response that doesn't involve drama/complaints/spoilers that have nothing to do with you. I'm just going to apologize for bringing drama into your thread and back out with no further explanation; further apologies for this.

So we probably have archipellago map or islands orsnaky continents. We dont know how isolated are we but the land contact and war are definitely hardly possible.

I like our choices, and it is much more balanced than the previous one. We have 1 fin, 1 phi, 1 org, 1 ind for any kind of playing.
But lets put everything on paper.
Julius:
++++great UB, thats provide one of the best advantages on sea map. If it helps to get circumnavigation it becomes insane. Remember that in common Bts they csnt trade maps to get circumnsvigation
++org gives indeed best expansion bonus for sea maps (cheap lighthouses and courts)
+imp trait is not that lovely but can cover problems with early expansion
+good UU (early galley drop, early astro rush, or later it can be turned for a free amphibious for rifles if we upgrade)
Pericles:
+++ easy culture
++phi +cre synergy opens us great opportunity for GS rush and cheap early oxford.
Huyana:
+++ fin. Nuff said.
+++ ind trait for wondering. Truely on naval maps the cap is busy with building wonders for the entire game. We have good production cap spot
Both Russians and Portugese UUs and UBs are almost useless. So my final rank is:
Julio - 8 pts
Pericles - 5 pts
Huysna - 6 pts
But it is not final decision. Many of things are strategy dependant and we must arreng what are we going to try.

Yes, apologies for causing confusion, it was our fault for misguiding the players with the first set of picks, not something we did on purpose, but due to miscommunication in the lurker thread. As you can imagine, there has been quite a bit of that, so everyone is a little on edge as we finalize the set up and fret about getting it perfect. Bear with us.

I failed to make this save work. Game started crashing once I changed world_size. I copied half of leader/team settings from another working wbsave and still no effect.

Hmmm, did you make it all caps? Changing it works for me. At any rate, I uploaded a new version for you that I tested. Make sure that you're not using RtR mod to load the save; RtR WB saves and BTS WB saves are incompatible because RtR allows up to 40 players, while BTS allows only 18.
