Again I'm loaning sunrise's excellent tech thread intro:
Access the game via DirectIP connection after loading the mod to the address above. No password is needed (nor will one permit a successful connection) when connecting to the game. Make 100% sure there are no spaces in the field or you'll get an error. Spaces love to crop up unexpectedly, so please double-check this before posting that you can't connect.
The first time a player logs into the game they will be asked to set and confirm a password. This is non-trivial to change, so please make sure you know what it is, can remember it, etc.
In-game you can play as normal. This game is played via simultaneous turns, so you can queue unit actions and builds like normal, even after you end turn. I get asked sometimes, so I'll note you press TAB to chat in-game. When you're done playing please log out via Exit to Main Menu, not Exit to Desktop (which can create connectivity/lag issues).
I have set a 48 hour timer per team for the first turn. Starting next turn the timer will switch to 24 in-game hours. Of course in the future the timer can be tweaked according to the wishes of the players.
I will occasionally save and reload the game due to the ghost package issue. I do this with all Pitbosses I host, and the interval is about every 2-3 weeks. I always avoid doing this when someone is logged in, and it takes about 2-3 minutes.
This game uses Civstats to track the turns and other info, as indicated by the link above. Password is also noted above if you wish to register.
From now on, please let me know if you have any technical concerns in this thread. I can be reached infrequently via forum PM, and easily via email at caledorn at gmail dot com (Also Google Talk/Hangouts - although I seem to be having some problems with getting people who are not in my Google+ to contact me, and vice versa).
Enjoy the game!

As the Americans learned so painfully in Earth's final century, free flow of information is the only safeguard against tyranny. The once-chained people whose leaders at last lose their grip on information flow will soon burst with freedom and vitality, but the free nation gradually constricting its grip on public discourse has begun its rapid slide into despotism. Beware of he who would deny you access to information, for in his heart he dreams himself your master. - Commissioner Pravin Lal, "U.N. Declaration of Rights"
