So are we all going to meet in a chat room or something tomorrow night? Does everyone here have AOL Instant Messenger? If not there's always IRC.

All I have is MSN, but I guess I could download another one...
Why don't we agree to start at the set time and always send the game off ASAP within the two-hour period. No need to get fancy, I don't think.

I think that should be good enough, Dominae. If you want, we could meet here. They do have live chat, although I've never tried it.
Let's just agree on 9:00 est. I'll send you the file probably before that time.
Thanks, Dominae...I have your email address. You should all have the list. If not, I'm going to include it in my readme.txt file that will come with the first round.
Also, and this is a "gentlemen's" agreement, since there's no way to verify this...but you shouldn't converse with another player as that player unless you have met his Civ.
i.e. - there should be no "What corner of the map are you in" prior to actually contacting that Civ.
I hope that doesn't upset your strategies too much...

No worries Buster13. By the way do you guys routinely ICS? I don't, and I just want to make sure I know what I'm getting into here...

Not usually.
I've done just about everyhing at least once to try it out, but I'm not generally prone to that strategy, unless my set up encourages it.
Either way, as I've said before in these forums, if you don't like something someone else is doing, it becomes a matter of diplomacy.
i.e. "I'm going to sign a universal trade embargo with you unless you stop Horseman rushing player X"
I'm looking forward to the Diplomacy part of it. Should be much more interesting than "They would never accept this deal!" ...when you are only asking for 1 Gold per Turn and they have only one city left. Like they're in a position to say no!
Seriously though...we'll actually be able to TALK about this stuff!!!!

So far I've got ONE game of Civ3 under my belt and that was when it first came out, before ICS was "invented". So, no.
Re: diplomacy in PBEM, I think the AI takes over for you if someone makes an offer..if this true?
Re: IM tonight--I have Yahoo IM but I think we can just meet here and post in the thread.
Looking forward to getting this thing going!

No, KingSponge, the AI does not take over for you in negotiations. What happens is I offer you something, say Pottery, and you see that I'm offering Pottery on your turn and you then offer me something in return...say Ceremonial Burial.
On my turn, I see that you've offered me Ceremonial Burial for Pottery and I can either accept or deny, or make a counter offer. What I can't do is look at what you have and say add 10 gold to your offering....
Thus, email...

Ahh, I see.
Diplomacy via email is the way to do it then.

Well, Dominae...
I don't think you will have to worry about ICS much after all.
ICS is Infinite City Sprawl. It's a mildly cheesy strategy, but effective, like a soft mozzarella. 
See you all tonight, I'm about to skate outta work.

Buster13, is the order listed in your email also the turn order? That is, am I after the English but before the Persians?

Well, I hope that wasn't TOO frustrating for us all last night, and it looks like there might be some early interest to this game. So it should be ok.
Dominae, if you received my email, it should tell you how to fix that file, and then play your turn and send to Mike. If you're still having problems, let me know.

Yup, I believe so. Let's blame it on Firaxis...
