Sounds like a good plan.

I guess I shoudl vote, huh?
Map: balanced, I guess. I think exploration is important. No map trading level: monarch. Barbs: no barb cities, no barb ships cylindrical PB Simultaneous. I don't understand why you would play a sequential pitboss. fixed settings: all fine.
Completed: PBEM 34g (W), 36 , 35 , 5o, 34s, 5p, 42, 48 and PB 9, 18, 27, 57
Current: PB 52. Boudicca of Maya
what I meant is, if it's sequential, what's the advantage of pitboss over pbem?

You can log in outside your turn to plan (you can do the same in PBEM, but you don't see what the other players have done.) And you don't have to worry about players savescumming.
Completed: RB Demogame - Gillette, PBEM46, Pitboss 13, Pitboss 18, Pitboss 30, Pitboss 31, Pitboss 38, Pitboss 42, Pitboss 46, Pitboss 52 (Pindicator's game), Pitboss 57
In progress: Rimworld
Advantages for sequential Pitboss over PBEM:
- No chasing who has the save - No possibility of reload cheating - Always online to look at the current state of the game - Teams of cooperating players or lurkers can easily share - Easier than PBEM to swap in a substitute player - The turn timer, to push players to log in and play For sequential Pitboss compared to simultaneous Pitboss, the advantages are the obvious of no double moves or clock races or other timing shenanigans.
Here are my selections ...
Balanced map No map trading Monarch Torodial Fixed settings - fine by me Q re Barbs ... a) Barbs but not c) no cities ... is that possible? Q re PB turn order ... have we ever played sequential?
I have finally decided to put down some cash and register a website. It is www.ruffhi.com. Now I remain free to move the hosting options without having to change the name of the site.
