Thanks for the invitation by e-mail, even though it looked like spam . But I won't start new PBEM games for a while, especially not with Conquests. After it's fixed, maybe, but it doesn't look like this anytime soon. Best of luck for your tournament, and may the best get the Iron Civer title.

[Paddy]

I am interested.

[Adagio]

At the moment I'm not really interested in joining, but thx for the invite anyway...

[smellymummy]

I'm interested too

we don't really need restarts right (7th rule)?

[Soltz]

I'd be interested. My play times are usually 9-midnite PST

6) and 7) are intended as a package deal, a way to avoid the abiguities of me 'judging' the maps for balanced starting positions and corrupting the placement of seafaring tribes (possibly their main advantage on a tiny pangea). Giving each player a 'mulligan' doesn't assure one person won't have a far better start than everyone else, but at least someone stuck with a jungle/hill/mountain start will have some recourse.

This won't affect the pace of the tournament- I don't see a problem doing it either way. Starting placement was the source of some friction in the first tournament, so I suggested mulligans here. Should we make this an informal poll? Does anyone have a better solution?

[Andydog]

Rommel2D, I think your current proposal 7) is fine. I'm happy to keep it that way.

Thank you for the invitation. I'd like to play. I can play almost any time of day and my time zone is -9 GMT. I don't plan to be away anytime soon.

[smellymummy]

if this is about the 'iron civer', i say no restarts. does the really good civ player really need to restart or just be able to figure out how to use the start area properly.

If my first start doesnt have a cow or wheat, I could just easily say restart. Everyone in a single game could. it can make for lots of potential restarts, and lots of time being wasted

I just think it would be a shame to have to allow delaying playing because one or more players wants to use the games randomness to get an edge over the other players.

[alexman]

Can I play too?

I like the idea of an AU MP mod for this.

[marcuspeddle]

I vote for no restarts. It adds an extra challenge to the game. "Let's see . . . I'm on a desert island in the middle of the ocean. How do I build a civilisation here?"
