Hello folks. First my apologies to the Demo game forum and members for using this space for intersite demo game discussions. Thank-you for your patience, President Aro. We expect to have a closed forum shortly and we can take most of these discussions, and threads, there.
Thirty-nine Apolytonians have joined the crusade!
If you had your name down in one of the threads, but have not joined the official team 'group', please click on the team name at the top of the forum board and join up.
It looks like the German team will be in - that gives us 6. And the counter. 
Regarding spying and the like, all teams have come out against it, and Arnelos' definitive piece on cheating and fairness from the other thread will likely be re-worked into an 'honesty pledge'. (if you would care to do that Arnelos, it would be greatly appreciated. If not, I will re-draft it.)
I am assuming that we want our closed forum here. 1BC is offering to set-up a forum there if required, but that was originally intended for civfan who could not get a closed forum back on their home site. There will be a 'public' forum at 1BC for the game itself. I will let folks know when that is established.
What should be the procedure when 2 teams want the same civ? We are coming up with an approach where teams would put forward a first and second choice. If two want the same first choice, a toin coss, or paper-scissors-rock will determine who gets it.
Regarding civ choices, I will start a poll with the obvious civ choices on it, and everyone can wade into the discussion. We will see what comes of it, and may need a final run-off poll with a select few.
In what orders should the teams play? We will determine an optimal play order based on when folks will most likely be available to play. Die roll or the like will determine who goes first.
That still leaves a number of game parameters to determine. Spiffor had made an excellent list which he posted at 1BC. I will use a sub-set of that document to get discussions going. And I will post a few polls, which will take up even more space here -  - sorry - but hey - we are one big family. I also recognize that that means anyone in the regular demo game can vote. I will ask them to not do so. Not much other choice for now.
Here's what is on the table:
- Do we want AIs or not ? (I am assuming 'no' unless there is a huge clamour to the contrary, in which case I will poll.)
- Do we play with mods ? (I am assuming 'no' -ditto)
- What will be the size of the map ? (see poll)
- What will be the difficulty ? (see poll)
- Do we want random landmass ? (will poll later)
- If no, what landmass do we want ?
- Do we want random climate ? (will poll later)
- If no, what climate do we want ?
- Do we want random temperature ? (will poll later)
- If no, what temperature do we want ?
- Do we want random barbarians ? (will poll later)
- If no, what barbarian difficulty do we want ?
Please feel free - and I know you will - to comment on any of this?

Probably standard. Small would handicap various civs and large would take too long. Just my personal opinion, though.

Hmm.... I'm not bothered with the regent difficult we chose for the multi-team game, but Monarch might be better suited. Doesn't really matter, though, as all teams have the same difficulty level. To keep the game moving toward a conclusion, however, we might actually want to set a LOW difficulty setting. Just an idea...

Doesn't really matter. I'm fine with random or with picking any of the options.

I'm torn. I like wet for rivers, but getting the jungle start from the Civ3DG wouldn't necessarily be so nice in a multi-site game  I'm tempted to say lets pick normal/temperate because it has the least potential to be unbalancing.

For the same reason as climate, I'm temtped to with normal/temperate because it has the least potential to be unbalancing.

I like raging hordes, personally, but random is fine with me.

As for victory conditions: ALL.
