I know youv'e started voting already, but here is a link to a voting spreadsheet that we used for PB54, and similarly before, which I think has been pretty useful. Might be helpful. I'd also advice to have a look at the new game options Charriu has introduced, like No WW, or no city trading, and see whether you want to have a vote on that. (At frist sight I had the impression that you hadn't caught all, but I think you did actually)

1) PBEM or Sequential Pitboss
a. PBEM
b. Sequential Pitboss
If PBEM wins then I will try my best to scrounge up a way to get a tracker page to show who is the current player to play. If I don't manage to do this then we'll probably just have to do the Pitboss instead. So a vote for PBEM is assuming that there will be a tracker page.
2) World Wrap
a. Toroidal
b. Cylindrical
c. Mapmaker's choice
Remember that Circumnavigation is no longer exclusive to the first player and provides +1 trade route in all cities instead of extra movement for ships.
3) Game Speed
a. Quick
b. Normal
We seem to have a consensus for Normal already but I want to give an opportunity for everyone to express their opinion.
4) Map Difficulty
a. Prince
b. Monarch
c. Emperor
d. Mapmaker's choice
5) Map Size (this is just the in-game setting, not related to the actual size of the map which is described above)
a. Small
b. Standard
c. Mapmaker's choice
6) Barbarians
a. On
b. Off
7) City Trading
a. On
b. Off (Note this means that you cannot give cities away in peace deals)
8) Map Trading
a. On
b. Off
9) Pick Method
a. Snake
b. Something else you propose
10) See starting screenshots before picking?
a. Yes
b. No

The forum for this game needs to be titled "PB 55: The Homecoming"

ALSO I forgot to note that the world wrap does not affect maintenance, if anyone is voting for Cylindrical for that purpose. Toroidal will have the same maintenance as Cylindrical.

Also, the bold red choices there make it clear that Noble & I are wolves.

I'm looking forward to this game, but if some other old-timer wants to jump in I'm happy to surrender my place- this is shaping up to be a must-lurk experience.
