Hello all,
This is the recruiting thread for my second Pitboss (and first public Pitboss) game.
The game is going to start with an accelerated play session. On Saturday, July 8th at 10:00 AM CST (GMT -5:00) there will be an online play session lasting at least 1 hour. If you cannot play at this time on July 8th you will not be able to participate in this game. I apologize for those who cannot, but for those who can we'll get past the "press Enter to end turn" phase much more quickly.
Please post here to claim your civ, and PM me with your email address. I'll keep this top thread updated with players. I won't post you in this top post until I get your PM!
Details will develop depending on how many people show interest and the wants of the group, but here are some basics:
1 turn per day.
Game will be at www.civstats.com so you can check up on turns.
Game will be played on normal speed.
Game will be generated by SmartMap, settings to depend on number of players. I'll post all of that here.
Tech trading on.
So, sign up now!

11 players so far. If you posted below but I don't have you on this list, PM me your email and you'll be all set.
UPDATED INFORMATION:
PREGAME: I will soon be sending out a setting summary and email contact sheet to the players. Players may voice opinions about the settings and vote to change some of them (I may override some votes... I will not make it a 3 hour turn timer Marathon Speed game with Cultural Victory only, for example. ).
The game will launch on Friday, July 7. That means that as of July 7 there will be no new players added. Everyone will be able to log in, claim their civ, set passwords, and play their first turn on Friday or Saturday morning. Any player who does not sign in by 9:00 AM, CST on Saturday the 8th will be turned over to AI control.
THE ACCELERATED PLAY SESSION
Saturday, July 8. The accelerated play session will begin at 10:00 AM, CST (3:00 PM GMT). Please find out what time this will be for you so there is no confusion. We can begin to sign on at any time beforehand, and will be playing until 11:00 at least. If we can all assemble early, we will be able to begin play early, but that is not required. Any player who does not sign into the game by 10:00 will be KICKED from the game (their civ being turned over to an AI) so the session may start on time. If they arrive late but before 11:00 they may claim their civ and begin playing.
Any player who must leave before 11:00 will be turned over to an AI. At 11:00, any player having to leave will end the accelerated play session, and the game will revert to a 22 hour timer.
MISSING TURNS:
Any player who misses three turns in a row without contacting me beforehand will be turned over to an AI. After 5 days a replacement player will be sought. If the player returns they can reclaim from an AI, but if a player has taken over they will not be able to reclaim their civ.
GAME SETTINGS: *
Standard Map
Normal or Quick speed
Smart Map script... settings TBA.
No Barbarians
Turn timer: 22 hours
Victory: Spaceship, Time and Culture disabled. Diplomacy, Domination, Conquest enabled.
*Feel free to sound off about these and discuss them. I have chosen them all for various reasons but am open to change and compromise. I want the game to be fun for everyone.
HOUSE RULES:
No sharing of screenshots.
No out of game communication with civs you have not met in game (you can discuss the weather, connection issues, children, etc.. but not the game details themselves.).
Some effort to play as a nation is appreciated. We should all try to win, but keep an eye towards making the game fun for all.
