Yeah, I was away for a few days.
I'm still not sold on this game being Pitboss 5 coming after 6 and 7, but everybody else seems hellbent on it, so so be it. One side effect is that somebody has to scroll down, either PB5 or 7 has to go below the subforums of PB6.
As before, once the game is finalized and started, start a new Tech Thread with rules and connection info in the first post. Sunrise can do the honors there once he catches up.
I don't know what to do with Kuro's old thread here. Seems heartless to just delete it, but it doesn't belong here and creates confusion. Should I just park it in Civ General?

I honestly don't care about the name, so I've just gone with the consensus, and since PB5 was originally supposed to be an RB mod game that fizzled out, it makes sense.
I heard back from sunrise - he said barring technical difficulties he plans to launch it tonight. He has all the files/info he needs to get it started, so we should be pretty much set to go.

PB5 was supposed to be the RBMod one.

So I guess once Sunrise gets the game started up I can edit the first post with the info, no reason this can't be the tech thread. Sunrise, you doing okay?
Also as a note, we lack an admin currently which I certainly hope isn't needed, but just in case we ought to post our passwords in our threads for the lurkers to take over in the event of falling off the map or (like last year) a week without power post-tornadoes.

Has anyone actually asked Sunrise if he's willing to host another game, or is everybody just assuming he will? PB6 and 7 at least give him the incentive of playing himself.

He never posted in this thread so it's possible.
Would anyone else be able to host?

Yep I have and he has all the game info. I double checked with him yesterday and he was still good with hosting. I felt bad about nagging today because he's doing a big favor to host for a game he isn't even playing in, so I didn't email again today.

lol @ T-Hawk. Thanks for looking out for me buddy!

Ok, I have the game up and running on my server, but I can't seem to be able to connect myself. I installed the mod and it shows up in pitboss, the game reloads to load it, etc. When I try to connect myself though (sunrise089.dyndns.org:2062) I time out. It is not a connection or port issue since if I put up a standard BtS game on the same pitboss instance I can connect fine. And, yes, I installed the mod on my playing PC (though a pitboss game should show up even without the mod installed, and then crash if you try to actually load a civ).
Can anyone else verify the same issue? And, anyone want to recommend a solution?

Tried to connect and I received the same issue: connection timed out. Yes, I loaded RB 2.0.1 in advance of connecting.
