Purpose of this thread
This thread is primarily intended to be a public log of the communication between our President and his VP. It is made public, so that any member of the team can quickly check and tell other teams, in case there is a need to. This thread is to be considered read-only for everybody, but the President and his VP. The only exception is when someone else gets appointed to play our turn. No comments, no responses here, please. Let's keep this thread brief and boring.
Rules
In a chat held earlier today (or was it yesterday...? it's 4:30am here...), Jack and me agreed upon a certain standard procedure regarding our turns:

Rules
In a chat held earlier today (or was it yesterday...? it's 4:30am here...), Jack and me agreed upon a certain standard procedure regarding our turns:
- AdmiralPJ, the Foreign Minister of Lux Invicta, has been officially asked to arrange for the savegame to be sent to our President (Jack_www) and VP (me). Request acknowledged during the chat conversation and later confirmed by a post in the Lux Invicta public thread.
- The President and VP may, at their discretion, report receiving the new savegame from Lux Invicta by a brief post in this thread.
- In order to prevent cross-playing, whoever plays the turn for us, must post a brief message in this thread prior to actually playing the turn, informing others the turn is going to be played.
- The President shall always set the topic of our private chatroom to read the time when he is going to be online again, ready to play the turn. The VP is free to play the turn at his own discretion, should the save from Lux Invicta arrive earlier than three hours before the President is - according to the current chatroom topic - expected to be online again.
- quit Civ3 if running and relaunch it
- load the savegame using the Load Game item in the Main Menu (the PBEM game password is HisBrickness)
- play the turn according to instructions given by the Ministers and/or Senate.
- save the game as DATE_Legoland.SAV (as in 4000BC_Legoland.SAV) prior to actually finishing the turn, to allow for screenshots be taken later (the moment our turn is completed by clicking the End Turn button, the savegame becomes accessible by Gathering Storm only). This savegame shall be - for the time being - emailed to me at vondrack@jimaz.cz. I will take care of making and posting relevant screenshots.
- complete the turn by clicking the End Turn button, saving the game as NEXTDATE_from_Legoland.SAV (as in 3950BC_from_Legoland.SAV). Note, please, that since we are the last team to play a certain year, the year changes and the savegame we forward to GS shall bear the number of the NEXT year = the year GS is going to play.
- email the NEXTDATE_from_Legoland.SAV to the appointed member(s) of Gathering Storm. Currently, the two addresses we are supposed to send our finished turn to are sirralph@gmx.com and nbarclay@hiwaay.net.
- post a brief message in the Saved Game thread in the main (public) PtW forum
- post a brief message in this thread, reporting the savegame was sent out
but since there is so little to do in the game now and everybody wants to get out of the boring opening stage as quickly as possible, I went ahead and played the turn right after receiving the save from Lux Invicta.
