I've had success making sure everyone gets a dedicated lurker in the past so you will have someone to help you out.

Mod will be CtH, which is designed to be "Close to Home". IE fixes a lot of major issues, but is pretty easy to transition from base as mostly sticks "Close to Home".

Please note this is a long term commitment of multiple months requiring you to play a turn every day. We all realize life happens and when it does we just ask you post and ask for an extension.

"looks for my name"
"Superdeath seems to have acquired a rep for aggression somehow. [Image: noidea.gif] In this game that's going to help us because he's going to go to the negotiating table with twitchy eyes and slightly too wide a grin and terrify the neighbors into favorable border agreements, one-sided tech deals and staggered NAPs."

I actually had you under ded lurker, but then realized that after PB75 I probably shouldn't just put your name down places. I might get a thread name staring at me the entire time that way making me feel bad.

Superdeath, would you like to volunteer to be a ded lurker pretty please.

The thread title is mostly in jest tongue


Im fine dedlurking. I cannot/DONT guarantee that its worth much, but i can maybe prevent major mistakes. Mostly if the player decides to post.

I'll sign up as a dedlurker. I've been a pretty shitty dedlurker in the past which is why I tended to avoid this position but maybe I should give myself a second go. I don't envy the poor soul who gets saddled up with me though.

We are at 5 atm. Figure I'll give it another week of signups.

For those people very new to pitboss Naufraguar has a nice thread for beginners here

supposedly; I'm not allowed to read it yet, but I trust him!

There is also an archive of past pitboss games here

Specifically I would take a look at PB61 and PB72 as those were the last two greens games and both were with CtH.
