1. I only play OCC these days! (See 5. below) I play at deity.
2. I've tried a few of the comparison games and I plan to try the rest in the months to come. But usually, I just set up a game on a random map, varying the settings a little every now and then.
3. N/A
4. I think it's a good idea, but I'm not participating at the moment due to the fact that I can't be certain to complete the game (including the very, very extensive log which I find to be more of a drag than anything else  ) within 2 weeks.
5. OCC games are fast paced and you get to enjoy the most fun parts of the game (i.e. diplomacy, goody huts, exploration, NON-units, optimization of science rates etc., etc.) - and they're easily comparable from game to game. That's why I like to play this way more than the regular games I started out with. There's still a challenge for me playing OCC and trying to optimize the play from different starting positions and with different settings. Regular single play I'm afraid I've outgrown until CivIII comes along.
A special OCC section would be great, and I'd be sure to visit it frequently.

1 Diety
2 I have played some
4 Looks like good fun
5 It is great for a quick game. Single player games just take to long and I've given up on multiplay as these are even worse to complete. If I was organised enough I would take part in the fortnightly games but I know I wouldn't have the commitment to keep the full log going. I will continue to download the games from time to time and it's good to see how everyone else is progressing.
Cheers

JB: What about the comparison games? These would go like a breeze after your gigamap try.

Well I think the gigamap made it easier this time. The Carthaginians and Mongols were fighting each other on a huge, huge, huge continent, quite far away from me, with the poor Aztecs stuck in the middle, with 2 or 3 cities. The Russians were in the next island, further away from me and all three militaristics neutralized themselves and never discovered neither any signifiant technologie, neither my little island. The Germans were on a relatively small island, alas for them too close from the Russians. They did a great job of fighting of their opponents, but could not become a force in the game. It left only the Chinese, but well you know the light blue civilizations. They’re the weakest in the game. I did some diplomacy and some trading, it wasn’t even stressful and I launched my Spaceship in 1902 before anybody else had discovered space fly. It was a piece of cake. But it’s not always the case. Sometimes those big expansionist civs eat up a civilized one at the right moment and they become almost invicible.
BTW, I’ve heard stories about how the AI adapts its science rate according to our technologies. Does it do it at any lever or only at Deity ? If the latter is the case, gigamaps maybe tougher at Emperor level. I should try one next week.
