Variant Pitboss Signup

If I wasn't already in 2 games I would be tempted.

Signups are a bit slow so it's not impossible 69 will end before this is full and launched.


Alternatively, sounds like a very high quality ded-lurker is a potential free agent for anyone on the fence about signing up.

I wonder if I could take part in this madness? Yes, it's been quite a while since I've posted here, but I find myself with some free time once again, and an interest in civ4. Any place for me?

(there were some real life issues that prevented me from playing civ here the last... oh.... 7 years... but I'm free to play now!)

Wow, there's a name I haven't seen in awhile, welcome back! Madness is the right word - this game will either be amazing or an entertaining mistake. We are officially a go, and here's our roster.

1) scooter
2) Mr Cairo
3) Yuris
4) Oxyphenbutazone
5) Luddite


Most of the settings are pretty locked in, but there's a few things we could use final input on.


1) Espionage - are we allowing full espionage or banning active missions? Cairo indicated some interest in leaving it available, and it does matter for some tech choices. Because we will convert to a sequential pitboss long before espionage is a factor, we will avoid the end of turn disconnection issues that plague simultaneous pitboss games, so I'm open to allowing them if folks really want. I think I'd still lean towards banning them, but I'm open to allowing them. Needs to be decided before any draft order is generated.

2) Nukes - I'm skeptical this game will run long enough for them to heavily feature. I'd lean towards banning, but if someone feels strongly otherwise I'm happy to go with it.


Finally, before we can generate a turn/draft order, we need to organize a play window order. If everyone could post their preferred play window, that would be great. My reliable window is 7-11pm Eastern US, which maps to 11pm-3am GMT (or 2300-300).


For Krill/Tarkeel, we're good for 5 players, so I think you should have all necessary settings to at least start moving on the map. I can create a subforum shortly.

Thanks, scooter! It means a lot to me that you still remember me! I'm looking forward to playing in this, even though I'm afraid I'm probably going to get my ass kicked 
but yes, game settings make a big difference with these rules, especially espionage. spies on or no? I think I'd lean towards allowing them, personally.

I can dedlurk you Luddite if you want someone to bounce ideas off.

I've taken multiple lengthy extended breaks over the years, so I still know the older games better than a lot of more recent games.


Also, created a subforum and moved this thread here.
