Hi. I'm starting an archipelago PBEM with 5 humans and 3 AIs. Settings are as follows.

Standard size.
80% water.
Barbarians roaming.
Climate normal.
Temperature warm.
Age 5 billion.
Difficuly monarch.

I wanted to do an archipelago since most PBEMs are continents or pangaea. Rules are pretty standard.
-No contact with anybody outside of the game until you make contact with them in the game. After that, feel free to talk via this forum, e-mail, yahoo.chat or any other means.
-No reloading. An obvious one but needs to be said anyway.
-Play at least one turn a day. And if you are going to be out of town or can't play your turn, have the courtesy to visit this forum and let us know.
-Any deals with the AI or humans are fine. If you want to ally against someone, go ahead. If you want to break deals, go ahead. etc...
-I'm open to suggestions for any other rules once you decide to join the game.

If you want to play, respond here with your name, e-mail, time you play, and civ choice. I thought it might be nice if everybody picked a seafaring civ, but the choice is yours. After everybody has picked their civ, I am going to give the AIs seafaring civs. Since there are only 7 seafaring civs, and if all 5 humans pick seafaring civs, then two of the AIs get seafaring and the third AI will be random.

Players so far

DogBoy undecided civ GMT-5 greeneclan AT mchsi DOT com
Fanste Byzantine GMT+10 fanste_28 AT hotmail DOT com
Arrogant Spain GMT+2 micmic1431968 AT hotmail DOT com
Tweedledee Netherlands GMT+1 tweedledd AT gmx DOT de

Still need one more human player.
 
hey dogboy, thanx 4 signing me up, as u may remember because i posted in threads, my internet has been down, please allow me a little time 2 pick my civ, (couple hours) not sure who all is seafaring, thanx.
 
after looking over the seafaring civs i really wanted the portuguese, but already have a game w/ them & im trying to b diversified :( so then i wanted the dutch, but somebody stole them while my internet was down :mad: so then i finally decided upon Carthage, however since i am handicapped by having to take my third choice the other players in this game are going ot have to spot me a tech & 20 gold as soon as contactis established. :lol:
 
hey, i hate 2 do this, but i am having serious internet issues, cannot commit to another game right now as i might end up having to drop out of other games i am already in due to not being able to get online & take my turns, so just leave me out
 
We need one more human player. If you want to play then give me your civ preference, time you can play, and e-mail. If nobody else wants to play by tonight (EST), we can start with 4 if everybody wants.

All victory conditions are enabled. I turned off cultural linked starting positions. Random seed is active. The rest of the settings are in my first post. Good luck to us all.
 
4000 BC sent to Tweedledee around 08:30 GMT

This must be the worst starting position I've had ever since.... Civ1 :(

(DogBoy, you have misspelled Tweedledee's e-mail)
 
Sorry about mispelling the e-mail. I just woke up and got the turn is here, so I guess everybody is on track. Turn is being played now and sent to Fanste.

Talk about bad starting positions! I think by making the climate warm that the game went overboard and put in too many marshes and jungles. At least I got to start on a tiny bit of fresh water.
