Not An Addict, Really
Better late than never:
Being a player with limited time frame often prevents me from completing the GOTM within the deadline timeframe. But since the GOTM is such an awesome experience, I still love to play the games, at least a little bit. I am sure there are others like me who would like to play the GOTM but i)can't play enough turns on their own to finish it ii)still would like to play and compare their results to the rest of the GOTM community.
To this end, I am taking signups for a sucession game using the starting save game of GOTM23.
EDIT: In true SG style, here is the Starting location and the map info.
Civilization: Arabs
Difficulty: Monarch
World size: 5000 tiles (standard)
Landmass: Pangaea 58% H2O
Geology: 3 billion years old
Environment: Warm and Arid
Barbarians: Raging
Rivals: 9 Preset
Upgrade Swordsmen/Longbows: ON
Differential Naval Movement is Engaged
I am ideally looking for players that:
For those of you who don't know what a succession game is, a team of players take turns playing blocks (usually 10 turns) and then posting the game for the next player. Any interteam discussion takes place through posts in the game thread.
Because I suspect to attract time-constrained players, the schedule will be a little slower than normal SGs. When a player is "up" she or he has 24hours from the posting of the previous players save file to post a "Got It". They will have a total of 72hours to play their game and post their save and turnlog. If you can not play your turn when you are "up" you must post a "Skip Me, Please" and you will be bypassed (or swapped with another player) so that the game can keep moving.
Playing an SG allows you to proceed through a whole game while you yourself only play 10 out of 50 or so turns. That allows you to get farther through a game with less RL time commited to playing. If this sounds good to you, post here.
I will be taking signups for the next week. If there is enough interest I'll start the game. If there isn't...well let's not let it get to that.

I am ideally looking for players that:
- Wanted to submit GOTM23 but ran out of time.
- Wanted to play the GOTM but never started because they knew they couldn't complete it.
- Players who played the GOTM but were forced to take a different victory condition than the tournament requirement of Domination.
- Players who played Conquest (or Predator for that matter) that would like to play the Open level.
- Anyone else to fill the team(s).
