The voting is moving along... Deity, we need your votes! Also, I haven't heard from Jedi, Markus, and of course Finbar, who'll be back in four days.
The next order of business is to determine who gets what civs. The only fair way to do this is to let everyone pick his favorite, then if there are ties to flip a coin. Also, if everyone picks the same civ, this will be a clue that maybe the map isn't balanced after all (Markus says it favors the Russians and has said he wants that civ, but everyone else seems to think the map is even).
So everyone send me or post here your top four choices, in order. I'll flip coins between those who have the same top choice, those who got bumped and have the same second choice, and so on.

Thanks Elendil, great organising and teriffic looking scenario! You've won me with the lovely icons and the Europe map (which I originally did not like).
* I vote for SIMUL play except in wars. I suggest an anonymous message in king chat the turn before to announce that some war is going to happen in the next turn and for everyone to wait their turn order in that turn. (I think the rules require war declarations a turn ahead anyway)
* I would like the English as my civ 
I go back to work next week which will restrict my playing times but I don't work on Fridays, usually, so your USA Thursday nights would work well for me and I think finbar too - the same slot as your old Diplo V.

Unfortunately, Thursday nights don't work for Crustacian.  I don't suppose US Sunday nights or US any time Monday or Tuesday would work?
BTW, I need your 2nd, 3rd, & 4th choices for a civ, as well as your votes on the other game issues.
For the record, my civ choices are as follows:
1. Britain
2. Austria
3. France
4. Germany
So a neutral third party will have to flip a coin between us, it seems.

Currumbor,
Here is a possible alternative to Austria. "Dacia"
Some reading, and city sites & names are in these links. I feel that Austria and Germany are too close together for me to be either one. You see each capital has no way to both have cities in between really.
Maybe Dacia will make all the civs relative proximities be more alike.
This is only a suggestion. But a thought out one.

Dacia
ancient region roughly corresponding to Romania, whose people were called Getae by the Greeks, Daci by the Romans. They had an advanced material culture. DOMITIAN tried to subdue them but ended by paying them tribute (A.D. 90). Under TRAJAN, Dacia became (A.D. 105) a Roman province, but AURELIAN lost it to the invading Goths (A.D. 250-70). The Roman legacy to Dacia was the Romance tongue Romanian.
In the 6th century B.C., there are records of the Geto-Dacians, an ethno-historical entity branched out from the great Thracian trunk. The first archaeological findings relate to the Basarabi culture in Dobrudja materialized in an exquisite kind of pottery. The Geto-Dacians inhabited the vast area that stretched between the Northern Carpathian chain and the Balkan mountains.
Geto-Dacian society flourished under king Burebista (ca 82-44 B.C.), a
contemporary and opponent of Caesar, and a friend of Pompey. Around the year 70 B.C., external conditions being propitious and Burebista's political and military actions successful, the Geto-Dacian people had a unique and firm rule, and a strong organization.
Burebista's country, rooted in the former social and political tradition, was strengthened by the king's conquest of Greek cities, like Tomis, Histria and Callatis on the Black Sea shore, and by eliminating the threat of Celtic invasion. In this way, Burebista came to rule over the whole Thracian-Geto-Dacian world, from the Haemus Mountains (the Balkans) to the Wooded Carpathians, from Tyras (the Dnestr) to the Tisza.
Controlling both sides of the Danube, Burebista was "the first and the greatest of the Thracian kings", as he is referred to in writing by Acornion of Dyonisopolis.

, let's vote then on whether to use my solution (when war breaks out, save, quit, reload as turn-based scenario) or to allow unlimited simultaneous attacks.
