          The settings look a-okay to me!

          I'm keen to try this PitBoss - it will keep the game ticking over nicely, a major advantage with 5 players. [edit: - I've actually found that 4 players are better anyway. Games are so much better when the turns tick over quickly.]

          Preferences

          Civilisation: Spanish
          Leader: Isabella
          PBEM Mode: PitBoss

            OK, ricketyclik will be away for most of the next 2 weeks so this game won't start right away, will have to wait for him if there's no objection.

            In the meanwhile, since it seems we'll use PitBoss we could decide whether we're going to use the turn timer option and if we're what limit should we put.

            I'd say no less than 48 hours no more than 72. My preference would be 72 (3 days).

              My understanding of PitBoss is that you can pre-set build queues, unit orders, etc, for the server to execute when your turn time runs out. If this is the case then I'd go for 2 days max.

                If you are still open for another player I think I would be interested in playing in another game. The game I am in now is ticking along on average of a turn every other day.

                I have never played a Pit-Boss game or know much about it, but it intrigues me.

                My Civ preference would be:

                  Yes, actually there is one slot open.

                  Note that your skill level must be noble or prince and some diplomacy and role-play will be required from time to time.

                  Welcome aboard

                      You can find more info regarding PitBoss in 2kgames and CFC.

                      Turn Timer is an option that allows a turn to be automatically "played" if not played by the player within the specified period set. My preference is 72 hours and Andydog's 48 hours.

                        I vote for 72 Hours.

                          The settings look fine to me.

                          Preferences:

                          Civilisation: Random
                          Leader: Random (named ricketyclik)
                          PBEM Mode: PitBoss
                          Timeout: 72 hours (this doesn't mean we can't move more quickly, of course)

                          As keygen said, I'll be away until the beginning of the week after next! Sorry!

                              I know we are waiting for a player, but I may not be able to play any turns for a little more than a week comming up. So instead of trying to delay this game more, I am going to back out of it.

                              Sorry guys.
