Note: This tournament is closed. You can still download the savegame and submit results in this thread, but your score will not be added to the rankings anymore. Check the Tournaments Section to see if there are any new tournaments running if you do want your score to count.
Well, y'all asked for it, so here it is: an Apolyton CtP2 Tournament (formerly known as Game of the Month, renamed for consistency with Civ3 section and because the duration and frequency of these tournaments are not set in stone (yet)).
This first Tournament will be rather conservative because this is new for everyone and we'll all have to get the hang of this and flesh out the details of the rules. I'd like as much people as possible to participate (even if you're not too fond of the setup), so we can see what kind of an audience is out there (both quantity and quality). For these reasons I chose to run the first tournament without any mods or other oddities of any kind. All that's required to play is the v1.11 patch. We'll see about mods and different difficulty levels next month...
The rules are pretty much identical to the Civ3 Tournament and explained on the website. The first Tournament will last 3 weeks. This should give everyone enough time to play while still giving me plenty of time to evaluate the results (both the game results and the way the tournament went) and set up a second tournament before I leave for a study tour through Asia (from 28 May to 18 June).
Any feedback on any part of the Tournament, whether it's about the game itself, the rules, the setup, anything, is very, very much appreciated. Ideas for what kind of games (mods, maps, etc) should be played in future Tournaments are welcome as well...
Oh, I don't know if all the discussion will fit in a single thread. Should things get crowded, don't be shy to start (a) new thread(s).
Thanks to Markos for allowing this and assisting me in setting up the (PHP part of the) website.

It should be interesting to play unmodded for a change (and it's only 1 game). See if you can win before 2000 BC 
But, the weird messages in the GOTM remain
