Game is now full. And starting 2/12 19:00GMT Will send more info this evening.
Ladies and Gentlemen:

I am now taking signups for my first PBEM game! This is a Civilization IV PBEM game and requires the latest version of Civilization IV (currently v1.09) to participate.

We got the following competitors
Ani(me) - Ghandi, India
Ogre11 - Katarina, Russia
Zilch - Random
Corossol - Kublai
Joul Ironhand - Alexander
If you would like to play, please send me a private message with the following information:
your CFC user name (required),
your e-mail address (required),
your leader preferences (please give your top three choices, if any),
your physical location (required - city, state and country, or time zone relative to GMT),
the password you would like for your turn (optional, although I strongly recommend it),
your SMTP server address (optional), and
Your X-fire id (optional),
any customized civilization information (Leader Name, Civ Description, Short Description, and/or Civ Adjective).
Because some of this information is sensitive, I strongly recommend you not post this information in a reply to this thread. I will post replies in this thread indicating when spots are filled.
(again thanks to Heihojin for making the standard :))

Please note that if you wish to play a particular civilization that has more than one leader available (such as the Chinese), you must select a leader or I will simply assign one to you.

Please note that your choice of leader is considered public information at the start of the game. If you opt for a random leader, you are expected to inform me of the actual leader given to you immediately following your first turn.

The game will begin as soon as I have 5 confirmed players. If you have not specified a leader preference by the time the game launches, you will be assigned a random leader. Spots for the game and leader preferences will generally be filled first-come, first-serve, as determined by the timestamp of the request; however, I may deliberately favor some requests over others in the interest of balancing my games.

Commitments

By requesting to play you commit to the following:
You agree to contact me (through e-mail, private message, a third party or other means) as soon as possible if you encounter technical difficulties or other circumstances that prevent you from fulfilling these commitments.
You agree to act in a courteous manner toward all other players at all times in your "out-of-game" communication.
You agree to abide by the general protocol for gameplay as set forth in the welcome e-mail, as well as any changes to the protocol I may make during the course of the game.
You agree to inform me when you are going to be unavailable for a period of greater than 24 hours.
You agree to check your e-mail at least twice daily.
You agree to promptly respond to all messages - immediately, if possible.
You agree to complete and forward your turn within 24 hours of receiving it.
You agree to refrain from "in-game" communication with another player until making contact with that player's civilization.
You agree to play the game to completion unless personal or technical circumstances render it impossible for you to do so.
If you would like to peruse my general protocol for PBEM gameplay prior to signing up, let me know and I will happily e-mail it to you.

"In-game" communication refers to sharing information about your civilization or other players' civilizations, making deals, proposing alliances, etc.. "Out-of-game" communication primarily refers to administrative matters (such as "Dude, where's my turn?" e-mails), but also includes innocuous conversation (such as "Where is everyone from?" e-mails).
