As usual, advance no further if you do not wish to be spoiled (rotten)...

Right, so we've done Financial and wonder-whoring in PBEM13.
This game will be about three things: Expansion, expansion and expansion.
Yeah and possibly the Great Lighthouse.
That's all for tonight, stay tuned!

Are you guys planning on updating this with the same regularity that you've had with PBEM13? If so I may ded-lurk this one, as it might be fun to lurk just one thread for a change.

If you count arguing with spaceman as updating, then yes. 
I'm not sure if we'll do C&D though, depends if we've got the energy and if we're going for the GLH.
Anyway, you're welcome to lurk us!

I think you mean finetuning of plans, engaging in intellectual discussion and exchanging witty repartee.

Heartily seconded. A word of warning, though. We've racked up nearly 1,000 posts in just over three months for PBEM13. I hope you're a quick reader!
