I found a new player.
He's one of my co-worker and a friend.
He will create his CFC account either tonight or tomorrow.
Please reserve a place for him
Igloo I will PM you his choices for leaders..... now!

I am Raisin's friend. I just created my account
I've just PMed anyone who's expressed an interest, voted yes, etc that hasn't already gotten me their leader choices, deadline tomorrow 4PM EST. Twelve (including myself) already have leader choices in, eight do not. Don't ask me what happens when more than five of the eight respond with leader choices. 
Edit: By the way, as it stands now, everyone gets their first choice of leader, I very much doubt we'll have to go to random.

On the map, it looks like there won't be enough time between confirming the number of players and starting the game to get a custom one made. I therefore propose a "Shuffle" map, which randomly chooses between pangaea, continents, archipelago, or fractal. Should make the early game and exploration more interesting, yes?
And "balanced" is an option for all maps now it looks like, so it doesn't need to be a pangea or continents to have good distribution of resources...

meh
Shuffle = 
Okay, one of our eight is in, so we're up to 13.
And I've hit my initial self-imposed weight goal, so I'll be firing up Warlords on my own machine tonight.
Edit: And a possible correction on "everyone will probably get their first choice" - I wasn't figuring in that two leaders from the same civ can't be used simultaneously, so... standby.

Can you consistently make a turn-per-day pitboss game?
I'd like to give the seven people that already expressed an interest earlier to confirm, we have four open slots left for them and they've got another 9 hours or so to respond. But after that, sure, and please PM me with your top three leader choices; test out your connection to the pitboss server (I've PMed you the IP), and tell us about yourself, particularly your Civ4 single/MP experience levels.
The latter two apply to Javy, too.

I cant wait...Shuffle is an excellent idea.
Good luck guys and you too BC.
Good luck guys and you too BC.
Proposed: The Rules, only modified as necessary from the CivIVor rules
The Game rules:
1- 200 to 300 turns, one turn a day with short bursts of ten turns every few weeks upon unanimous agreement of scheduling.
2- Shuffle (randomly pangea, continent, archipelago, or fractal) Large map, default settings, 13-17 civs, normal speed, all Noble-level civs.
3- Don't Retire from the game!!!!! Use exit to desktop or exit to main menu instead. IMPORTANT!
4- Game will use www.civstats.com tracking/notification.
5- About double moves - simultaneous turns will be set for the game. Thus, someone being the last to log in for the day's turn will then have the opportunity to be the first (aside from the AIs, that seem to go really quickly) to play the next turn. The rule is,if you're moving around another non-AI player, wait a reasonable (say, 8-12 hours?) time for them to play their next turn before you play yours, so they don't get hit with what is effectively two turns of movement by you.
Edit: Per discussion later in the thread, double moves are allowed.
Edit2: per vote later in the thread, no double-moves associated with war declaration.
Diplomacy and general rules :
1- Friendly trash talk is accepted, aggressive trash talk is not
2- This is a newbie friendly game. Remember we are all friends and we want to keep it that way
3- No Talking about Tech before Alphabet
4- No map trading before paper, but discussing who is where is legal.
5- You can't gift a unit to an aggresive civ to get it promoted and then get it back.
6- No talking to someone about the game before you meet them e.g. cant get them to go to war with someone you dont know.
7- If you know you're going to miss a day or weekend. Simply put everything in the queue ahead of time -builds, tech research etc... You can also ask someone else (not an existing player) to do your turn. And keep Igloodude notified about absences so he doesn't kick you.
8- Civ choosing currently in progress.
9- We're starting out with no AI civs. Should a player retire before elimination, a replacement will be found if possible, AI control will be used in the interim.
10- Attacking a civ temporarily under AI control is frowned upon, but legal.
11- If you suspect that a tactic qualifies as an exploit, or think that it might be called unfair, post it in this thread for group decision earlier rather than later. Remember, we're trying to stay newbie-friendly.
One question - I am not fond of being a sort-of referee and a player at the same time; is someone who is not playing in this game (but still reading this thread) willing to be a referee for the occasional in-game questions that come up?

That'd be great, thank you.
Edit: And Elrohir has checked in, so we're up to 14 players and down to three open slots.
i very strongly dislike rules number 5, it is part of playing a sim move pitboss game and therefore a double move is one of the 'exciting' parts-it isnt such a huge exploit either because it leaves you open for a further 24 hours.
No additional players have responded, so we're at 14. With some work getting screwy today I don't have access to the machine that I kept track of desired leaders at the moment, so it'll be tomorrow morning that I announce them. As I recall most people are getting their first choice, a few get their second choice.
Brettman135, give me a holler if/when you've tested your connection. If you haven't gotten back to me by Friday 5AM EST, you're not playing. For that matter, this applies to anyone else (including the 6 remaining that have previously expressed interest but didn't send me their leader choices) that want to play.
