How about lets kick it off on July 2nd. We need :
1) a map-maker to make a map by then,
2) civs, and
3) I suggest the play order be

Rob / Simon
Tubby
Simon / Rob
Whomp

doesnt matter so much play order, we'll be kicking your ass either way

what map do you want?

how are we going to choose civs? and also what level?

Monarch level... map type doesn't care but I'd like for the mapmaker to give balanced starts.... So a "Balanced Map" is probably the best option (less tweaking).

I don't care which civ I play as.

Level: Noble seems to make the most sense for pbems.
Map type: Pangea for early wars?
Civs: Will depend on map type we choose. As you two know by now. [:p]

No im really happy with the civs we chose after recent updates :D

im more partial to a noble tech speed but ill play monarch if you 2 want that, though seems to be fragmention amongst the team already :D

How about continents one team member on each continent?

we could each create a list of 3 civs and their opposing number has to pick the civ?

sounds good..
map..i dont care..dont really liek pangea if its really tight..become a rush type game
difficulty: i dont care..I can beat Noble at AI but play higher
Civ..nail down the other aspects and let me see 1 of the other teams Civ and I will make my decions. Otherwise BC idea of 3 civs is OK. I can play just about any civ and beat you guys...as BC is about to find out in our 1 on 1 game.

Order should be...Simon, Tubby, Rob , Whomp...roughly East to west. Just a warning I wont be playing alot of civ around teh July 2nd time due to my inlaws in town..but I can play a turn or 2 a day. BC and I dump our team games into a joint mailbox that way if teh save is older than 5 or 6 hours the other one plays it. If you guys rather not have us do that then we can send it to our personal boxes. If you guys want to set up a joint box..we can work that way too.

/maybe i will get a forum by then and I can hav emy own spoilers ...otherwise i will have to continue to co-op space in BC's

I don't care about the level. Rob's order sounds good to me.

Balanced maps are Pangaea so I'm sticking with that choice.

My list of preferred civs are (subject to change with mood)
1. Eliza
2. Qin
3. Ghandi

I think that it might be best to just wait until after July 2 to start

tubs you can have a balanced map with continents if its going to be created.....

not sure about civ list and robboo for a team game it helps to only have one spoiler.

that cool on spoiler..

pangea is fine..just as long as its not too tight in space.

barbs or no barbs..I vote no.

i'd prefer no barbs and also no huts if possible.
