You mean other than "not letting them revolt and declare independence"?

too bad I use the black skin... it's quite obvious
the double login I was referring to is in game you silly bureaucrat
Well obviously.
Amazon.com was showing that on their website for me for Civ4 vanilla on the release day, so I called around, got an EBgames that would hold a copy for me, cancelled my Amazon order, and drove to EBgames to pick it up. Sounds like that's what you need to do tomorrow morning.
And EBgames comes through for me again.
I'm getting BtS installed on all my pitboss boxes (except for C2, no point in interrupting the team game) and I'll post again when I'm ready to have people log in to the test game to qualify for the full game and also test the BtS pitboss and their own ability to connect.
There is a test server running, IP is below under the spoiler tag. No password needed to enter the game. Anyone interested in either CivIVor: BtS or an OT BtS tournament, please log into this test game using a name reasonably close to your CFC username and password the civ (so no one else logs in after you and clears your name from the rolls). There are sixteen available slots, and if it fills up I'll record the names then start another test game.
Logging into this test game is a prerequisite to signing up for any BtS pitboss game I'm going to run, but it doesn't guarantee you a slot (vice previous word).

Spoiler :
Well, no EBGames/GameStop within 50 miles of the KC area has one in stock. Best Buy, Target, and others are all showing 7/25 as the release date. 
EDIT: Nevermind. direct2drive.com to the rescue. Downloading now, though it's rather slow at work. Need to get home with my better connection.

Big and Small with Snaky Continents and Islands (not tiny islands) Mixed is a fun map type from my experiences.
Also, very importantly will we have Unrestricted Leaders on? If yes, I already know what Civ/Leader combo I want to be.

I think its better to restrict leaders... some combinations are overly powerful (Roman Boudicca springs to mind).

I've ordered BtS off of BestBuy.com and selected store pickup (if you have it shipped to you it's backordered ). So when the store opens up in 3 hours and 15 minutes, my copy of it should be pulled off of the shelf and held for me until after work. I'll install it post haste and then check my connectivity

I'm pretty sure I applied the 3.02 patch. I'm about to install BtS at home here, so I'll check as well.
Edit: Yes, it is patched to 3.02. I just logged in successfully with my home 3.02-patched BtS.

I agree, restrict leaders to their own civs!

Indeed it is 3.02.
One question while I was CTRL-TABing, I noticed there is a Quests tab. Do we want to have quests on (I think you can turn it off at least)? I would vote yes for having quests, but I figure some people wouldnt like them.
