I am offering to be the host/server for an inter-site Beyond the Sword PitBoss game. This invitation is going out to CivFanatics, Strategamer, Apolyton, and PAL. The idea is to play a team game with players from each site forming a team.
My thoughts for the setup are as follows but are negotiable based on input from the teams:
The map will be a Large/Small map with the snaky continents feature and the islands feature. If teams can muster four players each the map size will he huge; if we can only manage to get three players per team we play on a large map.
The game will be simultaneous turns, no double moves allowed, 20-22 hour timer (tuned to make turnovers happen around 24 hours if not everybody plays).
No City Razing - ON No City Flipping from Culture - Off City Flipping after Conquest - Off No Barbarians - Off Raging Barbarians - Off Aggressive AI - Off Random Personalities - Off No Technology Trading - Off Permanent Alliances - ON Always War - Off Always Peace - Off One-City Challenge - Off Permanent War or Peace - Off New Random Seed on Reload - Off Lock Modified Assets - Off Require Complete Kills - ON No Vassal States - Off No Tribal Villages - Off
All Victory conditions Enabled.
I also would disallow the Portugese and Native American civs as I believe they are excessively powerful.
I offer this as a starting point. All of this is negotiable between the teams.
If your site is interested, recruit players, elect a captain, and contact me at whiplash@wi.rr.com

One quick thought - 3- or 4-player teams are going to have a tough time consistently avoiding DMs even if at war with only one other team. Easier for the teams, and easier for the game referee, to allow unrestricted DMs or to disallow DMs only when combined with a declaration of war against another team.

Is this all the interest there is?
If we can't form a team for this, CDZ will enter the competition.

Dissapointing CDZ have enough for two teams & Fanatics & STG seem to be able to field teams, haven't seen anything from APO though.

I'd love to support this but I doubt I personlly have the time to participate, perhaps link a post in the general forums to this, it might get more attention.

If you struggle to raise a team maybe some of people from fanatics who also use this site could join in this team rather than fanatics, as you said it appears they could easily get enough together for more than one team.

But yeah theres about 6 of us that can definatly play with at least 3/4 which are blind/on holiday so havent seen the topic.

Doesn't seem to be any interest form APO so does that make it CivFanatics, STG, CDZ & a PAL+ team ?

I don't recall an affirmative reply from those two, but I've posted the PAL team accordingly.

Sorry your not staying warningU2. Dedicated civ players like yourself are hard to come bye. As for me I'll play Hammurabi unless the team desides another civ would be better.
