OK, I'll stay spoiler free and in the on deck circle.

Was this going to be a 3v3? I remember someone saying something about that and I wasn't sure if it was agreed on

Well I think there was split support. I think the 3v3 would work if there wasn't this one too.

Hi,
just to confirm: This game will not only be always war, you are also not allowed to communicate with other teams in any way except the public thread, correct? And to confirm that I'm an MP noob: What does CTON stand for? 
Also, I'm not totally clear on the no score mod: Does it affect only the demographics and displayed score, or does it affect the GNP/Crop Yield/... graphs as well? Are there any other things it affects? The link in this thread leads to some CFC Pitboss game, has anyone a link to a page describing exactly what is changed by the mod?
And finally, do you guys intend to make report threads for this game, or do you think there are not enough lurkers with all the MP games going on right now? I don't want to write turn reports only to find out after the game that I've been the only one doing so.

I think it may have been confusion of having two pbem threads rather than lack of support... Unless players would rather it not be 3v3 for whatever reason?

CTON = Cannot Talk Or Negotiate. Hence the Public Players thread only. I'll let the people who've used NoScore explain it.
Lurker's thread: The pace of PBEM2 & 3 for posting's probably what I expect to be doing. Each player's posting ~1x a turn, with varying levels of lurker input. I won't be posting at the pace of PB3, where England's averaged 10 posts a turn.
@ Scooter: Solo AW requires no coordination with others; diplo in a 3v3 is very different from the large PB games, but it's still there. That's why I wanted AW, at least: Not having to spend all the time proper coordination requires.

Since we're running two games on same map, I'd imagine we'd want to report to the best of our abilities.

OK, it sounds like the players are in place and almost ready to launch. I'll put in some work on the map tomorrow, and we should be ready to start on Monday.
