From space, earth is blue
Welcome to a new season of the friendly Civilization III Game of the Month competition!
For this season, we will have fewer games with the PtW and C3C competitions running in parallel each quarter.
Hepthathlon of the Year
We will also keep tally of a Heptathlon of the year competition: Who can win in seven different ways in the smallest total number of turns? It would be an appropriate pre-game discussion topic which victory condition each player intends to pursue.
Changes to Thread Structure
For this game, we will try a different thread structure. The spoiler threads will be published at once, and all game discussion will take place there. This thread is only of discussion about the game as such, not about its content: technical problems, planning and other meta issues. I will publish a note in each thread as the game proceeds allowing ever more spoiler information to be published and discussed.
As a dedicated pre-game discussion thread for GOTM173 has already been published, the true spoilers will come in another thread this time.
