Rik Made - Completely Random (Option #1)
Rik makes the map, and he decides everything (70% pangaea/80% continent/etc., size, temperature, climate, and age).

Rik Made - Parameters Team-Decided (Option #2)
Rik makes the map but the teams decide 70% pangaea/80% continent/etc., size, temperature, climate, and age.

Non-Rik Made - Completely Random (Option #3)
Ginger or myself start up a new PBEM and pick random for everything (70% pangaea/80% continent/etc., size, temperature, climate, and age).

Non-Rik Made - Parameters Team-Decided ((Option #4)
Ginger or myself start up a new PBEM and pick everything (70% pangaea/80% continent/etc., size, temperature, climate, and age) according to the teams' will.

I vote for Rik Made All the Way.

And we will know the map details before we pick a civ?

We will know the map specifications if option 2 or 4 are chosen. Otherwise we (and everyone else) will be completely in the dark other than there is a map, with 4 other teams on it trying to kill everyone else.

Rik Meleet is our almighty god. We must let him design the world in his way, we must not give input or know about it until we are placed upon it.

If we go for option 1 or 3 we should not choose expansionist/seafaring civ.

If you mean we shouldn't choose Portugal, I definately agree since they really, really, really suck. OTOH, I think that if we dont know what the map is like, expansionist or seafaring will give us a very good idea about the land type. The top seafaring and expansionist candidates i would suggest would be Arabs, Russia, Byzantines, Netherlands and Carthage.
