Looking to start a PBEM today
I wanted to play a 4 player game. You can be what ever civ you want. I am not pick about the map so what ever anyone wants the most that will be it. I would like to start today and see if we can play more then 3 turns. Please let me know today, and once we get 3 more pm the emails to each other and other info we will need.

I'll play mate.
With 4 players I suggest you make it a small map, just to see how things go.
Not fussed on the Civ. I'll take the Celts unless anyone else strongly fancies them.....

seeing how no one else has posted to indicate interest, I will start it as soon as we get 2 more players. My plan is to go for a long time on the weekends. Maybe we can do 20 turns or more on the weekends if you guys are up to it.

I'll play, but I don;t know what the hell I'm doing in PBEM.
redstar, Celts are the only new civ I've tried (in SP... they're awesome). You are welcome to them though. Just to balance it out, I'll take Iroquois.
Jack, I'm PMing my email to you.

What you do is download the game. You open it up and only play yout turn. Once you do that it asks you if you want to save and quit, click yes. The game gets saved. ONce you save it you open your email up and attach it to the email you will send to restart. We keep doing this untill the game ends. Accelerated production is were things are cheeper, sorry I forgot to say something about that. Oh yes if you have a handle for any im, please send it to me so we can chat in real time if needed. I made you names here on apolyton the ones we will use in the game.

I think we should restart the game since Theseus had so many problems. Give me some time to set it up and I will email the info to you. Man I had a good starting location in that game too!

Here are new players:
Jack_www: Egyptians
Aebbeka: Greeks
Redstar: Celts
msnyds1: Russians
and maybe (if he can figure out how to play)
Theseus:
Iroquois
All settings will be random. Standard map size and accelerated production. I will email you all the information you need. Also this time send me all the password you set up so I know, just in case you cant do it and we need a sub. Also one day with the saved game max. I would like to see if today we can get more then one turn going. Your names on Apolyton are the ones i will use for the game if you dont mind. Also when you send the game off post that here so we all know were it is.

If the games are saved like "Iroqouis 4000 BC" then there shouldn't be any problems with the wrong files being sent.

3950 BC sent to Celts
Also, could everyone please include the current Civ's turn and the current year in their file names. (Like "Jack's Game, Celts, 3950 BC.sav") It'll make things much easier.
