I think that teams can make arrangements with each other and relevant players so that if a DM is needed, then the other players can allow it if they have been told about it, knowing that the person who does the first DM will eventually get DM down the path.

And actually, now that I think of it....with at least 4 people playing for each team it should be relatively easy to avoid DMs by having one of your teammates log in for you to play your turn if you won't be able to do so in time to prevent a possible DM.

I was just about to post a similar message. With good team coordination, this should not be a problem.

Well i will essentially just wait to the last moment to play. Turns will drag on. I am playing this game to play my own turns if my teammates have to play every turn because I have work. Its hardly fair to them or me.
SUGGESTION...first 12-14 hours its normal turn rules no DM after that time you can play at any time even if it DMs a person. My definition of Dm is to end a turn and then play right away NOT some half a day later.
I speak for myself not my team. I am anti-noncoded rules in Civ pitboss. You want no DM play a PBEM. Use the mechanics and rules of the game as the only rules and you wont have any arguments. There are no reprecussions to the rules no way of enforcing them if civstats goes down. Therefore...rules are essentially "suggestions". A player in the game can not be the judge or enforcer of the "rules"...unfair bias. You cant make rules and penalties up to a game after it starts...again unfair bias.
so whats the rules, penalties and enforcer...AGAIN..I do not intend to DM but if it happens due to me needing to go to bed or work. I will do it.

Those who haven't played and who are fighting me...I am playing my turn. Its 8 hours to go and I wont be awake when it turns over. I have one teammate who cant play tonight and I am playing for him and the others have played...sorry but thats just how its going to be.
THIS IS EXACTLY WHY WE NEED A 12 OR X HOUR LIMIT FOR before DM is legal.
I will be DM and my only reply is...perhaps your teammates should play for you.
Edit
PLAYED...I should note...I had a chance to kill a unit<99% and I didnt thats is the one"gift" you get this game.

Well it looks like that no one else on our team has played yet and I am the first to play.

CH..this is what I am talking about. I would have missed my turn waiting for your teammates who didnt even show up up.
Here is my DM rule proposal.
There shall be no back to back moves during a time of war. You are allowed to play before your opponent and have back to back turns if the game timer reads less than 12 hours. This is to stop the game from running a full 24 hours and to lessen the chance of a DM during war.

Why does Tony have [CIV] at the end of his name? Shouldn't it be [PAL]?

This message is coming from work. My home internet connection is down. The cable tech is scheduled to come out tomorrow (Tuesday) afternoon. Assuming he fixes it, the game will be back up tomorrow evening. Be forewarned though; the last time this happened it took 3 visits from 3 techs and over a week to finally fix the problem.
