Good luck guys. Will watch with interest. 
So... will this be Pitboss 8, or FFH Pitboss 1?
Oh, and maybe I'm thick, but what's EitB?

Great, four teams is perfect!
Time to start recruiting dedlurkers, I suppose  . We'll be offering drunken youtube links and a lot of words!
Amelia Wrote:Also: is taking the second leader of a civ allowed? For example if someone has chosen say Mahala of Doviello, can i take Charadon (I'm using these 2 as i believe no one is going to double them :P)
I would personally vote no, I'd rather either go to the extreme of allowing complete duplicates, or none. I'm not really sure how heroes and worldspells work when there's more than one civ of the same kind, but if we're going to find out anyway, might as well allow the best leaders to anyone. Not too bothered if the vote goes against me, though.
I believe we're using v8 of EitB, because that's the latest and greatest.
I suppose we need to get the settings nailed down before we start snake picking. Plus a snake pick order.
And we need a mapmaker, too  Any volunteers?

I can ded-lurk your team, but upon further review I don't have the bandwidth to actually join.

Hmm i'm in favor of not allowing duplicates then.
Edit: According to dave's post:
No for all apart from Banter thread, which i'll say yes.

Stuff to discuss:
Lairs - on/off (I vote off. Lairs make the early game more "interesting" by generating lizardmen and poison goblins, but the whole exploration mechanic works a lot better in single player, where you can reload or start over if you pop some unbeatable monster. I doubt that anyone wants to play for months with only two surviving team members)
Huts - on/off (I vote off)
Balance tweaks - yes/no (I vote no. There are lots of changes that could be made (mithril swordsmen/chariots?), but everyone would have to download and properly install the changes)
Duplicate civs - yes/no (I vote no. Kind of defeats the purpose of the snake pick)
Banter thread - yes/no (I vote no)

I'd gladly get on board!
Oh damn it, too late.

Right, here are my votes:
Lairs - Don't care
Huts - Off
Duplicate civs - Don't care
Banter thread - YES. It's so boring to lurk a game without one and kind of boring to participate in a game without it.

yell0w, I can't speak for Amelia's team, but in general I'd think the more the merrier.

Indifferent. Would prefer no Goblin Forts if Lairs are on, though.

Off.

Bigger problem - I've no idea what Sareln's schedule is.
OTOH, is there anything in game we want to ban?

No.
Quote:Banter thread - yes/no (I vote no)
Yes.
I think I'd ban city gifting, except on first acquisition - aka you can settle then immediately gift, or gift a new conquest, but that's all.
