This month we are again going to try the concept of releasing the game announcement and set up instructions to all the players a few days in advance of when the starting save game will be available for you to play.
It is not possible for you to begin play at this time but you can strategize together about what you think you would do in the game.
This process should allow all the players to look over the setup instructions for the game and discuss what they think these instructions mean without the risk of any real spoiler information. Since none of the players will be able to start the game, essentially all you will have available to support your discussion will be past GOTM results and strategy articles.
The rules for participation in this discussion thread are simple:
1) read the game announcement and get yourself set up to play the game when the save game is released to you.
2) barbarian features in this game have been announced and encountered in previous GOTM games so you may freely discuss anything you feel that would be appropriate for pre-game planning.
3) Once you download the starting save game file and open it to begin play you may no longer participate in this discussion thread.
I plan to leave this thread open to support pregame discussion for any players who have not yet opened the starting save game file but if we have any players who violate this rule the discussion will be closed.
Again there is a great deal going on inside and around this month's game, but at the core of the process the game is simple and fun. Read the instructions and you will have a good time.
Be warned also that the first spoiler discussion will not open until May 5th.
The first spoiler discussion will require you to have made specific contacts with your rivals in the game as well as to have specific knowledge of the game map. You can be certain that one of the conditions for participation in the first spoiler thread will be that you must have gained enough technolgy knowledge to enter the middle ages even if you may not be allowed to discuss everything you might know up to that point in time.

Good luck in your quest to elighten the infidels and remember that a certain amount of reverent role playing should be a freely acceptable part of the process of pretending that you are becoming the great Muslim Leader of the Civ3 World.
