I finally got it to work. Will start it today or tomorrow..... 
yes i have 
Damn it, Rhye!
With blood, sweat and tears I put an end to the Greeks in the LAST TURN, that is in 1270...
I was overwhelmed with joy... it was a hard job done...
Only then I checked victory conditions and there it stands:
"Greeks eliminated by 1300 BC = 80 pts"
Grrrrrrrrrrrrr..............

Just submitted my RGC3 savegames.
First part was really great, I didn't quite like the second part though...nice idea, but it just isn't working well with civ3 imo. Most annoyingly, at first I lost all my 3 galleys to the first 3 turtles (which I consindered rather idiotic
so I restarted part 2 after some 10-20 turns).
Nonetheless I enjoyed the challenge, especially part one. Time was crucial - it soon became clear that it just isn't possible to achieve all goals, and that maybe the most important decisions are what to research first... I won't go into details until submissions are closed, but it's probably no spoiler to say that we entered the Golden Age 4 turns before the end
Oh, and the Greeks respawned in South Africa, hope that still counts as elimination...

10 submitters so far, and tomorrow is the last day of the 50pts bonus.
Judging from the results, this is a really amazing challenge.
Amost everytime I receive a new submission, the potential winner changes.
It has moved through Blackbeard, Soma, DangerBird, Riker and a couple of others: this is due to the fact that even a low score can affect the top 5-6 ranks through the bonuses among contestants.

I found that in both parts it's easy to find everything stupid and unfairly hard, but after a few tries you learn how to avoid major problems like losing your ships in part 2.
There's no rule against trying the whole thing again, you only lose points for reloading in the span of saves between the starting save and the submission.

Rhye, I guess it wouldn't have been possible to modify a multiplayer game for part 2 so that the turns were timed? I've no clue, but it seems plausible. It would have been even more like an action game. I was a little nervous loading it up that you may have found a way. (nervous because where I play I usually require a pause in the action, not because I am scared of a challenge)
i'm not sure because i've never player MP, but I think you should adjust the MP Timers values in the scenario properties

rhye, i cant open the second file because i cant get the link to work, i keep typing it in (case sensitive and all) and i keep getting the same website that says "404 error" or something and is in a language that i dont know, so im really lost. can you pm me the link? or if not email would work and ill give that to you.
(Edit: how embarrassing, the second i post this i finally get it to work... so nevermind, but thanks anyway)
PS, do i submit all at once or should i send my first 2 saves right away?

EDIT:
Now then, about the RGC goals.
They won't be changed.
Not enough people agrees, and the competition credibility is far more important than a balancement issue.
When the results will be posted, I'll post here the alternative rating that would have been in that case.
