Our team, jafo & Gavrushka, shall henceforth be known as the RAGING HOARDS, and when we really get motoring we'll be the RAGING FORDS, and in hte genetic age (after a sex change) The Raging Broads, and later still, once you recognise our superiority, the RAGING LORDS, and later still, you may affectionately refer to us as the AGING LORDS....

I started a post for ctp tribes in the Hosted Sites: Gameleague forum. Pity I got no anwser at all. Guess I gotta post things in the wrong place to be heard 
But in regards to your post Blackice, yes and yes and yes and yes.
There's not been a single tribe match played out in gameleague yet. A real pity when you think of how many gl players bugged the admins there for tribe play support for ctp...Many even made demands upon the admins for such a service. Then when the opportunity presented itself, they registered their tribes and took it no further.
Speaking for the Shining Path tribe, we have set up three tribe games in the past. All three games have fallen through due to the other tribes not being able to set up a convenient playing time......Which is frustrating when you wait in the lobby at the times appointed by them, only to have them provide an excuse to your inbox as to why they couldn't make it... 
As suggested by Eirikr on the Gameleague site here . Playing by email could be a great way for tribe games to actually get played out. Without the time restrictions. Gameleague players with complaints in regards to how long a pbem game takes should look at how long all the tribes there have been registered, and then how many games have been played out.....zilch.diddly squat.a big fat 0.
It appears that if people played tribe games via pbem, then more players may register tribes and participate. Another plus for tribe play via pbem.
I have also posted an offer on the gl site to list tribes and their members on my website. As gameleague only lists the main founder of the tribe, not the cofounder or members. This site is going to be worked on alot in the future I hope, and the offer is still there for GL tribes to list their full crew there if they wish. The site can be found here.
Anyways, just to sum up my ramblings.....ummm....Yes.

Here's some info on gameleague and tribes too. Gameleague is a free service for CTP, CTP2, and CIVII gamers. Gameleague can track wins and losses in games for you if you want. If the people you're playing are also in gameleague, just decide/declare before the game whether it will be registered with gameleague or not. All games declared at gameleague are reported by the winner, and confirmed or disputed by the people registered as playing in that game. You confirm/dispute games via your gameleague inbox.
The information below is from the Gameleague tribes help page. I'm sure they don't mind me sharing it with the people's here.
Tribes are groups of people who come together for the purpose of playing team games. Instead of personal victories like the ladder and tournaments, tribes play for team victories on a challenge system.
Tribes are headed by a chief who decides the actions of the clan. Below him are a series of elders ranked by seniority. If a chief is unavailable, the most senior elder is in charge. If that elder should also be out of action then the next most senior elder after him, etc.
If you want to create a new tribe please take note of the following:
a tribe must have two members before it can be created
tribes can have no more than 10 members
all tribe members must be GameLeague members
once you're ready to create a tribe, please fill out this form
If you want to join a current tribe, click on the tribe's link. Read over the tribe's website if they have one and then send a note to the tribe chief (or elder, if chief is unreachable). The tribe will then decide whether to admit you. Some tribes will require you to play a few games to prove your skill.
The Pyramid
Tribes are ranked on a pyramid system. When a new tribe is created, they begin at the bottom of the pyramid called the "Nomad" level. This is the lowest level and contains infinite number of positions for tribes. The other ranks are as follows.
World Order 1 Position
Hegemon 2 Positions
Nation 3 Positions
City-State 4 Positions
Nomad Infinite Positions
Moving On Up
There are two ways to move up on the pyramid. The first way is if there is an empty position on the level above you, you may challenge someone on your own level and if you win you will take the position on the next level. However if you lose your opponent will move up. You cannot lose your position when challenging on your own level.
The other way to move up is when all the positions are taken on the next level. When this happens you must challenge someone on the level above you. If successful you will take their position and they will take yours. Note that you can only challenge a tribe one level above you and only when all positions on the level above you are taken.
After a victory you are given a one week period during which your tribe cannot be challenged. This allows your tribe to set up it's own challenges rather than always having to fight someone below you.
Accepting or Declining Challenges
You always have the right to decline a challenge from another tribe with one expection. If your level is locked (filled completely with tribes) and you are challenged by someone one level below you, you MUST defend your position or lose it by default.
Tribe Games
All tribe games must be either 2v2 or 3v3 games. The winner is declared when one tribe builds a spacecraft that reaches Alpha Centuari or when the other tribe is completely destroyed, or surrenders. All other game settings must be agreed upon before the start of the match. Outragous settings can be basis for a decline even when challenging tribes above you.
Winning
Much like the real world of international politics and military conflict, there is never a permanent winner. The most powerful will always be challenged by lesser ones seeking that position.
Please read the Player's Guide to Tribes for additional information on tribal play.

Lol you two are a hoot, bonk, whack lol, reminds me of a short flick I saw on fugly lol.
Ok there is still hope I have recruted a few friends, programing geeks I know, now remember "geek" is a good name now.
Personaly I think it is a very kool and important merger for the game. We have also emailed Dan and a few others to get some input there. Hopefully they will also see the merit behind it and offer some help or a patch, time will tell.
In the mean time yes Gav by all means sign up your tribes at GL and yes by all means Fuzzy, Gav, Darth, Quinns, Jpww, Cuaich, berxpert take, make some challenges. These teams could be the first to report wins lol. Let the diplomacy or lack of it begin. I see no reason why you can't have an ongoing online tribes game and a PBEM tribes game going at the same time?
We will see which one finishes first.
More to come...
