Hello all!

Over the last year a small enclave of Civ4 players has sprouted up over on reddit. We began hosting Pitboss games, and after the usual problems with long-format games, things have turned out great with the first game winding up a couple weeks ago, after 6 exactly months! We also just (sort of) wound up our first FFH pitboss, after one of our number fixed the long standing bug with pitboss and FFH. We were hoping for fresh blood for the next round of games, and so here we are.

As you may know, Sareln's making a balance/polish modmod for FFH, Erebus in the Balance, and since it now includes the pitboss fixes, we were planning on using that for this game.

I'm sure i've heard about Reddit before but i've never been on the site. Is it easy to co-ordinate things? I've not seen anything like it before and I had assumed I was entering a forum.

It is a forum, essentially. http://www.reddit.com/r/Redditpitboss/ is the subreddit that we use to host all discussions relevant to our activities.

I suppose it would be easier if RB players wanted to play, just to post here, and I edit the relevant posts.

You should PM Lord Parkin and see if he's up for that sort of thing.

For the first game, nothing like the epic Sulla write ups - I should get people to write something up. There is a bit of a post-game spoiler discussion starting for the FFH game. Reddit's design isn't particularly good for this sort of stuff though.

If people are interested, I could simply grab a few screenshots and summarise the course of each game myself...

For me, that would be no problem, but I have a feeling that the other guys feel a certain attachment to reddit. :P

Reddit is actually quite good at letting new people drop by and have a quick discussion, especially with the IRC channel we have set up. I think the idea is that with the way Reddit works, we can grow the community pretty easily.

That doesn't really help for recruiting RB players though...
