This thread marks the official "launch" of CivStats.com.
It's been up for a while, but the last site update allowed me to cross off every item on my design doc that I wanted to cross off for version 1.0. So with that, a new thread! Plus the other thread calling it a "Proof of Concept" is a little out of date!
CivStats.com is a (not-so) new free service that allows players in a Pitboss game to view lots of information about their game right on the web. See an example game here.
Key features include:

CivStats.com is a (not-so) new free service that allows players in a Pitboss game to view lots of information about their game right on the web. See an example game here.
Key features include:
- A diplomacy center that allows registered players to communicate with each other. This is there because the in-game diplomacy center is very buggy, and I find email to break the "immersion" factor. The diplomacy center on CivStats.com shows a picture of the leader you're sending a message to and is designed to look similar to the in-game diplomacy screen.
- RSS feeds for each game showing who has and hasn't finished their turns. There is also an RSS feed for the game log.
- New turn notifications. Registered players can choose (default is on) to receive email notifications when a new turn begins. The built in turn notification system is pretty buggy, and this allows players to easily choose whether or not to receive them. Plus, in the future the notifications will contain information about what happened in the game.
