Fuck it can we make 7 work given the time zones?

[Krill]

Bing, if you are playing 0100 to 1500 UTC then actually you will slot in perfectly between Pin and me. Can you confirm this play window please.

Can all the other players please confirm play windows? Mine is 1700-2100 UTC but may be available earlier but not layer.

The turn order would be: Bing>Krill> yuris>[SD/Com/Thoth]>Pin based off time zones

Not sure but from PB70: SD 12 am - 7 am UTC but not sure of play windows for Com and Thoth?

It makes no difference as the congestion is in the US time zones and I am always loathe to turn players away. Shame to lose Mehmed as I have been trying to play him for the past 8 years but oh well.

Commodore often can get a turn before me based on previous games, but if we go with 7, trying to make two turns a day possible might be too greedy

My reliable window is 1800-0200 UK

So we're at 7 right? These are the settings I need guidance on (I've copied them all just in case):


Ignore which ones I have clicked and which I don't. 

I also assume you need new leaders? I'll generate a batch but wait for confirmation before posting them.

Attached are the old maps we were playing around with, so that everyone's on the same page. You can test with this if you want.

Yes, confirmed.

[Krill]

I'll put together a spreadsheet for if people want to comment now.

EDIT: Settings spreadsheet for PB71

I have "voted" in line with this post from PB69 which has the settings for PB69.

Difficulty was confirmed as Monarch.

Victory settings I believe are set to all.

Regarding leaders and civs, as I see it there are two choices. We either reroll all of them, or Pin picks up macks combo of Gandhi of Portugal and there is a random roll for Bing by a lurker. Whilst I must admit to wanting to play Mehmed for a long time, I am happy with whever is chosen so defer to everyone else.

[yuris125]

My votes are in, only difference from Krill's is that my preference is against no score

No strong opinion on the leader/civ thing, I think Pindicator taking over Mackoti's combo and Bing getting a new one makes sense, but happy to go with a full reroll if that's what others want

[Commodore]

Voted.

I figure I'll be outvoted but I voted for choose religions because it's fine.

I'm fine with the current roll or a whole new roll of combos.

I posted in 69 but haven't said it here, but I'll be on vacation from Apr 30 to May 5. Should have my laptop with me and be able to play but I might not be in my usual window.

[Krill]

That's actually over half the votes in place so everything that is uncontested can be put aside, which leaves NoScore, choose religion, no war weariness.

No score I will vote to have off which brings that up to 4 so that is decided, so just choose religion and no war weariness to be decided.

Pin, I think the game will start in simul turns so I doubt there will be any issues beyond the timezone. I will forgive you so long as we get pictures and updates like you did with those hikes.
