Well then, rank yourself. You left that out of your post.

I cant rank myself since i don't think of myself as any better or worse then anyone else.

[OzzyKP]

Ok. We'll put you right between Toni & deity.

[BranksDilly]

Branksdilly: please answer question 3
If the majority votes 'yes' to 1 and 2, we need your answer for 3.

[deity]

Just playing a bit of the Earth18civs scn and I reckon that if we do ozzy's suggestion of contstraining the top tier in Europe then I suggest, besides a larger map, is that the resources are good, that the resource for UU is present and that two cities at least can be built without overlaps...

a little later on now... and France should NOT exist So, England, Spain, Germany, Romans, Otts..

[trev]

1. Tribal villages No
2. No
3 Old and New

I confirm that I will play this game, although I have to learn the role-playing part on the move. Sounds fun with this kind of grouping by skill. I'll vote a bit later after someone else makes the votes of the last 2 guys all right. I can't do it myself now because I'm at work ATM.

About where I think I must put myself according to skill at civ4, I don't know anyone of you guys, and how strong you play, except for Exploit, and I have the feeling that he don't know anyone of you too, so it will be hard to tell. I consider myself strong player without any bit of shame, but maybe I am still not match for the tier1 players of your community and will be easy pray if I am their neighbor and dissbalance the game?

[Robert]

Hey 2metraninja, thanks for confirming!
We are not the best civ4 players, though some of us are absolutely good.
If you are a strong player, place yourself in the top.

[Robert]

Current standings! (I did a double check on everything)
Please add your votes to the number below, and make your vote fat, like:

Example:

what you copy:
Do you like Apolyton Civilization Site
A. YES - 40659
B. NO - 3

then you make it:
Do you like Apolyton Civilization Site
A. YES - 40660
B. NO - 3

Also please place yourself in one of the 'tiers'.
This is based on civ4 game skills, not on diplo-skills.

tier 1:
- Toni
- deity
- Robert Plomp
- OzzyKP

tier 2:
- Exploit
- St Jon
- Black Knight 427

tier 3:
- BranksDilly

tier 4:
- Rempedaalops

Thanks all!

Bold = did not vote yet
* = did not place himself in a tier

Not confirmed, signed up 2 months ago:
- Pinchak
- dacole

So we have 2 spots left open.
Perhaps Pinchak and/or dacole will confirm.
Perhaps The Capo will jump into this
Perhaps mzprox will reconsider
Perhaps 2 new players will sign up

Or we play with 16.

deity still has to answer question 6.

[2metraninja]

I consider my skills maybe equal to Exploit - in the only one game we play together, we are maybe in the same situation, although there is a no score mod, but our chances of wining the game are nearly the same That's why I will put myself in the tier where he is
i.e. tier 2.

[Dubhghlas]

I would like to point out that the very last line in my vote post stated specifically that I ranked my self as a complete newbie. I think that should have been ample to understand that I was ranking myself in the lowest of the four tiers. Somehow, at least three different posts thereafter (2 by Robert and 1 by Ozzy) asserted I hadn't ranked myself...

[Hercules]

Just getting back into things: New Hard drive and reinstalling stuff.

I consider myself tier 2 but that may be over ambitious.
