I am involved in a Warlords PitBoss epic hosted by ColonelTrieze. It's running quite well and I am now convinced that PitBoss is stable. PitBoss combines the best of an EPBM and a real-time MP game. It eliminates the suspision of the reload cheat by capturing each unit move on the server at the instant it is made. (Too bad the ISDG was launched before this feature was available) It can be played EPBM style with a preset turn time limit or in real time if all of the players are availble for a real time session.
I am proposing the following play format:
24 hour limit for one turn per day for each player, and A 3-4 hour time commitment for real time play on weekends.
This means that you will commit to playing one turn any time of every day and for the weekend session at a time mutally agreed upon.
I would like to run this with 6 or 8 dedicated players. If I only get 4, I might consider running 4 players each having 2 civ's.
We can discuss settings, the settings in Trieze's game seem to be working pretty well.
Post here if interested.

The only recommendation I would suggest is using a Terra map. I think Continents encourages the players on each continent to team up, each continent then isloates itself, then possibly the two or three continent-teams do battle. This format can be predictable. On a Terra map, everyone will meet before Optics, therefore they will have to choose sides based on other factors. Also, Terra still allows a New World to be settled. This map worked great in another diplomacy style game I played. Good luck, whip!

I am also interested and sounds like the plans are workable. I will monitor this thread for your progress to offer the game.
