For the reason listed below I can't play the turn session. Are you up for it DS? Anyone else?

I just thought about it I don't think I can do the turnchat. How do you guys chat and play the turns at the same time? 2 Computers? I have only one

Open BTS (in windowed mode) and mIRC at the same time. Works for me, though it's a bit slower.

What is windowed mode? Sorry I am quite the novice when it comes to computers. Someone else can play the turns and I'll make sure next time I offer to do a turnchat I know what the hell I am doing

If you go into options, then click the graphics tab, then there is an option called Full Window Mode which will be checked, uncheck it, quit CIV 4 completely and reload the save, then you should be able to mimize the screen when you need to. If you still can't do it then just play the turns on your own, or if you want i could do it tonight (may have to be posted tomorrow morning)
Or go into the INI file (my documents->my games-> ...) and look for the fullscreen mode setting. The "ask" setting will even let you choose every time the game is launched.
I would have set up a session a couple of days ago, but some urgent RL intervened.
Whichever of us actually starts playing please post a "got it" to make sure we don't have multiple people playing.

We have a problem, monarchy cannot be researched, mediation and presithood would have to be researched first and would take in total 22 turns, i am not going to play until 11 BST, so if no-one objects then i will play the approx 22 turns tomorrow.
Grr...
I specifically asked if Monarchy was the next thing to research, and got a yes. I wouldn't have supported the move otherwise.
Guess I should have checked the save myself. 
Also I noticed there's no link to the starting save.

Looks like we are stuck between a rock and a hard place. I didn't check the save either so I wasn't aware of the prerequisites. I just copy/pasted KWP's tech path. Should we run through the required techs to get Monarchy or are we all sick of the 1 gov't civic faction rule and make an exception for this time in hopes to save the integrity of the game.
Thanks guys for the help on the window issue. Kinda feel like a dumby but it led me to go through all of the options and tweak them to my liking.

The available trades are pretty heavily against us. I guess we push on anyway, and just research the pre-reqs. Sorry about my negativity earlier.
I bet certain people are just biding their time so they can splash in with a new HR based faction. Or they quit and didn't even have the decency to say they were going.

That's the approach I would take. It's been way, way too long since the last TC, so I'm kinda viewing this one as no instructions given to the DP. Have fun with it, and keep up on the right path (aka -beeline research path).

Ok, iam going to play it now, up to monarchy I will stop if something really major happens. I won't build new cities, i will try and maintain the ones we have.
Offline I presume? Else, I'll be online.

Played! 
We have monarchy, i beelined to it in 14 turns, some cities are building research to get there.
My computer still won't do screenshots!, so if someone could do that it would be helpful, thanks

Yes, bit late though!
I've had a look at the save, and I must ask:
WHAT'S THE PLAN?
Seriously, we look like we have absolutely no idea what we're going to do. Are we going to attack Spain? Then where is our army? Are we going to expand peacefully? Where are our settlers and workers in the build queues? Are we just going to sit here, with 4 cities, and lose?
