I have kicked bullrunner so Calanthian can join now. I tried to send Calanthian a PM since I see his is online now so hopefully he gets it and logs in 
@ Calanthian - If you are really sad about the AI settling your first city let me know so I can reload the current turn before it ends... but it should be OK since the start locations are frequently the best place to settle anyway.
Also, I changed the timer to 12 hrs since no one objects. We will lengthen it back after 20 or so turns, but I will give plenty of notice when it time in case people still like the short timer.

. The first turn is set for 48 hrs, but after that it switches back to 12 hrs. I know this is an inconvenience for everybody, and I apologize, but with Calanthian saying that the AI auto-settled in a really bad place, and with us only being on the 4th turn... I thought a restart was the most agreeable way to proceed.
I don't understand what you mean... can you explain? (use PM if you are worried about giving something away)... I don't get how you would have food overflow on the 3rd turn of the game... You realize we started over right? So this is turn 3 not turn 8...
I can test it later when I log in.
