Your average civ junkie
I'd like to withdraw my game from the voting as I unfortunately can't guarantee that I'll be able to complete each round. I consider this game won anyhow in several of the saves.

Understood. Hope to see you around. I've just finished my report and I must say, in my save it's also won... for the AI.

Round I report:
Spoiler :
Berkobob
Warlord
Chomp.
Vista did some auto update thingy, somehow it managed to eat all of my saved game files across the board (including losing an almost won Rome: Total War save I had been working at off and on for about three months, argh!)
Looked at some spoilers, and my round was not as impressive as some of the rounds posted here, so no great loss.
I think the loss of my saved games was the final straw. I don't have as much time and/or energy for Civ at this time (started playing poker again), so I'd like to request a removal from the roster. I will still be following this thread/game and I will try to play the rest of the rounds but I won't promise anything.

As Gliese and Soirana have retreated from this game, this is the final roster for it:
ABigCivFan
Araneya
RRRaskolnikov
Jet
Kaleb
Abegweit
KingMorgan
carl corey
We've got 8 players, which is a decent sized roster, especially for Immortal. Voting begins today and ends Sunday night (or earlier if we get all the votes by then).
If I've missed a valid save (1AD) please let me know.

DMOC, do you still want to be included in the roster for future rounds? If yes, I'll make an exception for this round but you should be sure you'll have the time to play the next ones.
Too late to join, but I just played up to 1 AD anyways...
no huts?
Having read now the othe spoilers, I know now my report isnt detailed enough, here comes some more (I also seem to have expanded into the opposit direction then the rest, leaving me with no horses and no bronze)

No huts, no events (says so in the first post 
). The idea was to keep things as uniform as possible between the different players so that we can compare saves more easily.
Agreed about the start being very good. For those of us who don't usually play Immortal though it doesn't hurt to get a good start like this. And the Immortal barbs gave me quite some trouble which set me back a lot. I had much better rounds (until I got DOWed by two AIs at the same time) in IMCI when I could easily contain the barbs through fogbusting or in EMCI due to having to deal with Emperor barbs instead of their Immortal cousins. 
You're free to play shadow rounds as long as you put them in spoilers like this one. As are the other people who have said they were going to play but didn't get to post a round 1 save. Hope to see you around for future IMC games as a member of the roster.

My Votes:
1. Kaleb 3pts. Good city placements, good city specialization, good overall development and potential.
2. Abegweit 2pts. Good science rate, good overall development, but the big downside is the capital, after moving to this location you gained 6 not so useful plain tiles hence dramatically reduced the potential for a super Beauracracy capital, this capital will grow a lot slower than others and produce much less science than capitals submitted in the other games.
3. Jet 1pt. Good city placements, good potential but slightly underdevelopped.

Hi people,
I quit home for 4 days and I don't have time for votes...
I don't want to do that in a hurry... (it woudn't be fair with all those good saves)
I will try to find more time for the next round... again sorry about that
Cheers,
Raskolnikov

Well, hopefully we'll have enough votes for this round for a good candidate to emerge for the next one. See you for the next round.
See you for the next round.

Snaaty, I can't download your game. When I try, I get Jet's instead. I think that this is because you both have uploaded games with the same name. Could you rename it to something else? I'd really like to see it.

Just rename it when you download.

Doesn't work. It shouldn't be a problem anyway since Firefox will create a second file with (2) in the name while IE overwrites the previous one. I tried deleting the other game. Doesn't work either.Just rename it when you download.
I even tried clearing the cache.One strange fact is that after I download it, the number of views doesn't change on either Snaaty's file or Jet's file.
If you can access it, can you upload a copy for me? Thanks.

Do you get to choose where to put the file as you download? Perhaps you somehow get an automatic download to a certain folder where it overwrites by default? No idea never had that issue, should be something you can change in settings in that case.
I checked the links and they are definitely not the same. The only other explanation I can give that makes sense with what you're saying is that Snaaty accidentally clicked on Jet's save when he uploaded.

Firefox has a mode in which you automatically download to a certain folder but it doesn't overwrite. As I said earlier, it changes the file name to put a (2) in it. You are right. It is indeed possible to change the settings. Same result either way. I also tried downloading from a different computer, one that doesn't even have civ on it. Still the same result.
I have checked them too and I agree. They are not the same. It remains that I get the same file when I download.
So you haven't downloaded the file and don't know whether the two are the same? This explanation is possible but I rather doubt that Snaaty has a copy of Jet's save.
Abegweit

I downloaded without problems looked very much like Snaaty file
At least maches his screenshots
Renamed it and uploaded. Hope that helps.
Thanks for the work, friend,
but in my computer it's still Jet's file and doesn't match the screenshots. I gotta think the problem has something to do with my Internet provider. Tomorrow I will try another.
