First off I would like to say hi to everyone and introduce myself. 
I was heavily involved with Team Kaz in the last MTDG and had tons of fun (especially since we were victorious 
). The Continuum seems like the best fit for me team-wise for this new MTDG- so hear I am!
Now for my proposal: I think we it would be good idea to optimize our discussions by using a few key threads. We will continue to run embassy threads, poll threads, a tech thread, etc of course. But having some primary threads to maintain the continuity of our gameplay discussion would be very valuable I think. If our thoughts get too dispersed it will be hard for us to all stay on the same page.
I propose we operate 3 primary threads for game play: Turn Tracker, Turn Discussion and Strategy.
*The Turn Tracker will remain as it is- a turn-by-turn update posted by the turn player after each turn. It should include screenshots and a detailed summary of everything that happened. There will not be any discussion in this thread.
*The Turn Discussion thread will parallel the turn tracker thread. The purpose of this thread is to discuss the micro aspect of each turn and to come up with directions for the turn player to execute. This thread will be the most active on our forum. One technique would be for the turn player to post what they plan on doing the next turn and then let the team make suggestions/refinements. We used this technique effectively in Team Kaz last game (we called it the "tactics and strategy" thread).
*Finally, the Strategy thread is the central location where we discuss our the mid to long-range plans. What are our tech goals? What wonders do we want? Where do we found our next 4 cities? The discussions here will help to guide our tech and diplo threads and spawn issue specific threads/polls as well.
What do you guys think?

glad to be here. A big reason why I selected the Continuum was the absence of any silly welcoming ceremony like the ones performed by those nutty amazons
