I am in, provided that we ban the most glaring unbalances.

mjw's banned list:
Gives too much stuff:
--Nan Madol (via rerolling because you still have access to the map and can transfer to SP game).
--Scythia
--Hungry
--VA
Other:
--Australia (implicit collusion)
--De facto Chandra, Pericles and Eleanor ban by going by Civ not Leader.

Your joining would be reason for me to join 
Sadly I know I won't have time for the game with a mid-may start so I refrain for now.

I think Rowain and Archduke should have to dedlurk each other until they're best friends

Nah. That's too easy. They should play a civ together as a succession game within the main game.

I'm willing to join in another one. Whatever the rest of the players think of bans is fine with me, I don't think balancing this game is possible
Edit: what about using the existing Better Balance mod?

In other news I feel that pillaging might need to be banned unless the yields are Food and HP due to implict collusion. You pillage and they keep repairing because they are annoyed at a third party. Not worth it for food and HP. I don't have strong feelings. Under normal circumstances pillaging isn't strong enough to do anything about without a game (after they removed science and culture) so I would allow it to start but it's very likely we'll only have one Civ6 GS game.

I don't feel that pillaging needs to be banned, nor does Australia. I think that implicit collusion would not be an issue. Regarding the issue of pillage-farming city-states I'd like to propose the suggested rule that I put at the end of my PBEM 14 thread that Woden also seemed to be in some agreement with:
- A city-state may not have war directly declared against it. War with a city-state may only result as a result of war with its suzerain.
Regarding mods, I think if we're going to play a game under the GS ruleset we should not use mods. As the first game we'd probably want to see how the new mechanics, particularly the new strategic resource management system, work out.
