Luddite asked me, so I suppose I am teaming with him. 
Doing my best impression of Silvio Dante doing his best impression, "Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!"
Now if I can just remember how to play this game. Farm the river corn? No workers love, I went for the brilliantly tricky scout, scout start. Decisions, decisions . . .

I've got an alpha version of the map ready, Commodore had a look at it and he likes what he saw. I still intend to torture Gaspar and Kyan with it, but it's quite close to being a finished product. Can we get a forum up?

Thanks T-Hawk for the forum!
Azza - you're welcome to ded-lurk me if you'd like. I'll be making a thread in just a minute here. I of course plan to play this one casually like this game is supposed to be (so no sandboxing/microplans/etc), but I still plan to update pretty frequently like my past games, so there will at least be that to deal with. This offer is extended to anyone else too.
One thing we still didn't decide - AI diplo (no talking but can offer diplo screen deals) vs AW. I'd put out a "light" vote for AI Diplo, but I'm not opposed to either one. I don't recall seeing opinions from the rest of you though, so we gotta get that nailed down before we can start. Also, once we get starting screenshots we can start the snake pick.

I think I would prefer AW with a public diplomacy thread (like in PB7, only without all the double move stuff). But AI diplo is also fine with me.

Personally, I'd like to avoid any sort of talking diplomacy - like, if we go AW I'd rather go all out and have no negotiation. Yeah I'm sure with this group we won't have much stupid controversy, but any sort of talking I think detracts a bit from "low stress." I won't strongly object though if the others would prefer public diplo.

I don't much care. Any and all are fine with me.

I have no thoughts. I am just here to provide basic tactical advice and make fun of Luddite for his stupid, unworkable strategic plans. You know, like trying to win by culture in a 3-civ team Pitboss. That would never work.
