 Off-topic forum.
Jon, you may want to check on that 5-team limit thing.

If I remember the poll about the number of teams, I think the result was that if I team could scrap together enough members to meet the 5-member minimum, it could be accepted. But, I might be recalling incorrectly.

I thought the poll results were however many teams we could fit in that had 5+ players.

ixnay is right. If this team can get 5+ players they're as valid as any other team.
I wish you luck. If this team gets started I'd almost like to see us have 7 human teams. Each team would then play once a week.

Wow, 4 turns a month. that's a real snoozer

It will be ok, but slow, but fun nonetheless

Hopeful people won't push the 24-hour limit to the max. I'd like to see at least one full week of 1+ full turn(s) (all teams go) a day. This shouldn't be to difficult since we're talking about moving one or two units, even with some discussion this shouldn't take more than 10 minutes or so (It would be entirely possible to get 20+ turn in the first week even if we have 7 teams, and I doubt we’ll have more than 6).

Randolph : We'll setup Turnchats for the early game, when there are only ca. 2 units to move.

Yeah, hopefully that will work out (I had kind of forgotten about that). That should get, what, the first 10-20 turns done? That will be nice.

Anything less than one turn per day would be insane!

Jon - I'm a long-time Apolyton reader, and a long-time Civ III player. First time on the message boards, though. I'm keen on joining the team. And hey,my dollar is only worth 63 cents as well.
Signed - BetaHound, eh.

G'day Jon. A few questions, oh fearless leader.
1) How many folks on the team so far? 2) Any thoughts on a team name? and 3) Are you completely married to the idea of a tag team approach - or variants on that theme.
Also - I understand the intent is to use the PBeM option. Isn't that going to take forever with 8 teams involved?
