Well, Jowy seems to have things in hand, so I'm still on the lookout for interest in another green/non-elite game, if PBEM 54 didn't grab them all already.

I'd just post in the General forum. I doubt very many people will realize you're taking pbem sign-ups in here.

Yeahhhhhh. It's been a while since I've been awfully active so I wasn't sure if it'd be considered spam since it looked like a few PBEMs recently started, but I guess that's the best way to go about it. Off I go.

Hi,
I am completely new here and came here like others through Sulla's Civ5 critical review Technically Civ5 criticisms -> RBPB2 -> this forum. I have been playing single player Civilization for ages since Civ2 times, through Civ3, Civ4 to Civ5 and back to Civ4... I have also some very limited multiplayer experience. I have been playing Civ4 (and one or two games in Civ5) with my roommate for something like 5 maybe 6 years and played dozens of games. However vast majority of those games were 2 vs 2 vs (...) vs 2 (me and my roommate vs emperor AIs teams) so my experience with playing AGAINST human players is very limited
But to the point. I really would like to fix this last problem and I would be interested in some Civ4 game (Pitboss or maybe PBEM?). Do you have any tips how to start?
Thanks!

I am in a similar situation and would like to know the answer to this also.

Just sign up when someone starts a new game in this sub-forum Some games aren't noob-friendly, but most are. A "greens" game would be the best for new guys. I'd check out some newer games while waiting, we've come a long way since the PB2 days. Welcome and HF! Oh, and shameless plug, if you liked the diplo aspect of those older games, check out The Gaming Table sub-forum for mafia / werewolf games. We're starting a new one next week.

Yup! New game threads tend to show up in Civ General Discussion. You might consider signing up with a teammate - it's easier to get the hang of things if you have someone to discuss things with.
And welcome!

I approve of your chosen handle. Welcome!

Heck, you can go to the general forum and click the "new thread" button near the top-right. There's actually lots of new blood around about now, so you'd probably get some folks interested.

I'd recommend picking a game or two to dedlurk while you get ready for your first game. PB17 just started, many players would be eager for a follower there. So pick a thread at random and dig in
