History of the World 10?

Tech trading accelerates a game much quicker than with no tech trading.
I'm a self proclamed opponent of tech trading. Basicly, everyone B-Lines to Alphabet, and from there it is just a tech swap meet.
Since it is another option, most people see it as making the game more dynamic. The reality (IMO) is that it dumbs down the importance of choosing a tech path, and investing in tech.
Just my 2 cents.
Anyway, I might be interested in joining up for HOTW 10, regardless of tech trading. What exact day and time are we thinking of making it?

The "History of the World" tag is growing old. After 10 we need a new name
HOTW 6 was officially titled History of Terra 1
I suggest that after HOTW10 we get HOT2, Tales From Terra may be even better
Other map types then Terra may be interesting as well, huge archipello maps must be interesting, perhaps we can create one that connects all land masses to each other by small seas that can be crossed by galleys already.Formerly known as "CyberShy"

If writing civ histories is causing people not to join we could always do a "diplo-lite" game where story writing is kept to a minimum.
BTW - how do civs write their histories before they discover writing?
PS - I'd prefer Sunday-Thurs night USA Eastern as I play regular games Friday and Saturday night.

HEY!!!!!
Don't change the "History of the World," name! Its good because you don't necessarily have to play on a Terra map, originally most diplogames were played on Earth maps. Besides that I thought of the name.
Don't change HOTW.

That's what people used to be very good at before writing stories.
We lost that because write everything down.Formerly known as "CyberShy"

I like kb's idea of not choosing empires? Or alternatively - pick civs with a common theme - as in all Asian, or all European, or all aggressive, and assign them randomly before the game starts.Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war .... aw, forget that nonsense. Beer, please.
