I might have the time as well... however, it seems like both groups play a totally different style of game, and by way different settings/rules as well

I sure we could agree to play on your settings as long as we can use our winged keel

If we can play 1x1x then I'll agree to any other rules set. Let's work it out and have a good fun game.

We'll probably have to play 2x because that's all "they" play

Completely undermines bragging rights though if we play "their" settings

	The Rah group and the Aussie group Suffering from ads?

OK, I'm alright now

Let's get three or 4 from each group to commit to a time frame.

Then we methodically pick settings allowing the Rah group to pick the first setting, which will probably be 2x1x. I think we all agree on no city bribe and Rah rules in general, but let's be specific about the other settings.

How's this for a bit of fun...

Rah group player One picks a setting (eg 2x1x)
Aussie group player One picks a setting (eg Deity level)

Rah group player Two picks a setting (eg Small Map)
Aussie group player Two picks a setting (No Wonders)

Rah group player Three picks a setting (eg Large Landmass)
Aussie group player Three picks a setting (Cool, Wet, 4bill)

etc etc, then if necesary work back from the bottom of the group (because the premium settings will have been set) until all settings are agreed.

Once a player chooses a setting, that's it, we all have to agree.

This means all of us will be out of our comfort zone and has the makings of creating a more interesting game.

If the first game is 2x then a return 1x game might be possible with a different set of settings agreed in the same way.

Ahhh, my brain hurts now....

That sounds good... But probably too complex...

But what about a pass along duel or team game instead?

The other thing I would suggest is that it is a proper MP game, subject to the agreed settings.

But I would like to think that it wasn't a team match. War4 and I might be friends.
Horsie and Ming may cooperate.
Rah and Hydey might trade furiously.
Makeo and DD might be peaceful...

And pigs might fly too....

well if there is any sort of game going on.....would it include alliances....otherwise, is it a NA vs Aussie game?

as much as i want to kick the sh!te of od deity teaming up with him could be smart too....

but if its a free for all, i propose no alliances, no tech trading , no walking caravans up to other civs, if you can trade it in on your own fine, same with tech stealing.

every attempt must be made to make it hard on your opponent to steal or deliver..

even better would be a no alliance, no caravans to foreign civs, no tech trading , no huts, no wonders, etc,....plain old civ....

deity, raging, med world, x2x1 or x1x1, no tech trading, no alliances, no easy caravans or dips, would be my choice..

of course the honor system is required here and i know i can trust my american neighbors, but i am not sure about those of you on that criminal island

I agree with all this but the other Aussies will probably want tech trading and stealing.

I think we all need to be flexible to keep this show on the road to have a fun and different game.

Basically I'll go along with any settings even the 2x but would love a return 1x game.

Who of the Rah group and who of the Aussie group are interested?

Look, I just want to play with my American cousins. The only rules I insist upon is no city bribe, no unit bribe.

It would be nice to get a joint game up but aside from that I might just play in one or two of the normal US games whilst I'm on leave.

Mrs Horse will be working through
