It starts! 
NH1_4000BC sent to Borealis...
Oh yes, and I almost forgot...the rule is that you cannot have any private, strategic conversations via e-mail, instant messaging, private messaging, in real life, over the telephone, etc. with a player until you have contact with his civilization inside the game. This adds some realism to the diplomacy and discovery aspect and is generally regarded as the only fair way to play.
If you are unclear on this rule, then just ask for me to explain it in more detail.
Everyone in this game should have received an e-mail with the contact information for all players in this game and some other information. If you did not get such an e-mail, let me know.

I sent the game 5 hours ago... I'll be able to play my next turn around 4 PM. Nice start as well.

Alright, for whatever reason, the turn did not go over (it still says 4000 BC for me).
My first inclination is to believe someone saved the game, and then quit when they were done, rather than ending their turn, and having the pop-up come up which asks to "Save & Exit" or "Continue" and tells you to send it to the next player.
This is bad because I can't tell my worker what to do. So I don't just want to play the turn and go on. I want this bad boy to work.
So if someone did do what I just described above, as opposed to ending their turn - and then saving when prompted by the game, will you please play your turn again, and send it to the next player in line so we can get this thing working?
Also...please make all saves in the following format:
NH1_YEARtoPlayer.sav
For example:
NH1_4000BCtoBorealis.sav
I am in multiple PBEM games, so having this format helps me out a lot.
Now, if I'm wrong, and everyone saved and exited the game the right way, then I will send turn one to Borealis again.

I saved & exited when prompted. Also, something NH mentioned in the email might also help: turning on Always Wait at end of turns both helps you make sure all moves are made and that you are 'aware' that you need to Save & Exit.
Edit: I have 1.04 installed.

Hi, just got home from work. Running 1.04f. I probably didn't exit the right way (now I know). Next file name will be in the proper format, I just saw how you wanted it.
I have a volleyball tournament tomorrow, so I'll be able to squeeze in turns until 6:30 AM , then I will leave. When I get home (as late as possible, I want to win tomorrow) I'll be sure to play if the game has been sent. Is everyone in the same time zone? I am in -5GMT I think (Montreal, New York...) Over.

I sent the game to Napoleon. Congrats to Carthage for attaining size 2. Some of us don't have as much food around... 
Napoleon Hitler
Ruler of Europe
I'm also size 2. 
Sent to the other size 2 civ.
I thought you other two said that you had good starting spots? You should see my starting spot in my first PBEM game ever. "Horrible" doesn't begin to describe it. There is no food in just about any direction from my capital in that game.

'Good' Starting spot doesn't mean immediately good... not for me at least. But wait until 1975 AD, my capital will kick all of yours... 
Seriously, it could have been much better, but I'm not too disappointed. C'mon Essex, send it my way!

Anyways game is sent on.
As for starting spot, well I sort of forgot that flood plains need to be irrigated before they'll give you an extra food and had my worker improve a grassland spot first.
But since I'm industrious, don't worry I'll be humming soon

To Napoleon. Got a free tech from a hut. Not too bad...

Lucky...I got lousy maps of the surrounding terrain. 
Guess that beats barbs though.
3550 BC to Borealis.
