Civ6 PBEM5 Organizing Thread

A little off topic, but last weekend was my cousin's birthday and she organized a trip to visit one of the natural wonders of Civ 6.

Our whole group at the park entrance:

Nice turnaround today!

Yeej double turns!

As a heads up, on 7/2/18 I will be going on holiday to Florida and staying with a 91 year old great aunt for a bit, plus some time in Disney world. Flying Gatwick on 8/2 to Tampa and back to to UK on 15/2, landing on 16/2.

During this time I will not have regular internet access, and nothing capable of playing the turn. Nor can I remember my password so I don't even know if someone can sub. I know cornflakes has found a way to deal with the lack of a password though.

Do players want an hiatus, or do you want to explore using a temporary sub? I can hit my window on 7/2, so we would be missing 8 days.

[Alhambram]

I don't mind both sub or hiatus.

However I want warn everyone, also for people at other PBEM's. At 8/2 expansion comes out and everyone should be prepared mentally for potential screw ups due new rules for example loyalty system that is going be introduced. Steam do install patches automatically and I can't stop it. Or new potential bug screw ups for example too close with other civilizations when I attempt to start new single player game which was introduced with one of recent patch (summer or fall, I don't remember).

So frankly, hiatus and wait to see what shit hits to fan might actually be a prudent decision?

I'm ok with that.

A good point, until now DLC features seem to have been locked behind a paywall and did not annoy anyone.
This could become peculiar quickly.

I'd not count on the patch that comes with the DLC even keeping saves backwards compatable. Firaxis doesn't have the best track record here: I've had to abandon multiplayer games previously in both Civ 5 after Brave New World and Beyond Earth after Rising Tide (in fact base BE is still unplayable without the DLC to this day) Usually they add tons of background stuff to the base game to "cushion" the DLC.

It's sad cause I really think everyone played an excellent game so far. Maybe it'll all be moot though, at the current pace we'll hit turn 120 before we have to consider this hiatus, sub or the DLC screwing with backward compatability. Most of the earlier PBEM's were called around that point.

Guys, I made a mistake when I just played the turn. Forgot to remove a build from the queue, consequence of playing the turn in the AM before work so I didn't hold it for a further 12 hours.

I've just replayed the turn identically (with the sole exception of changing that build in 1 city to a different build), but I can't seem to upload it to replace the original turn.

Please tell me there is a way to not be forced to use the original save.

Edit: going to work now, but I've emailed the save to myself, if I just need to email that onwards I can do so if someone gives me an email address to send to.
