I voted for splitting the game and I want to clarify:
I think we should split into two teams, both playing simultaneously with the same start and civilization. The different teams will make different decisions and thus have different, but similar, games.
If we were to split into two teams, playing opposing civs and taking turns, it will a)at least double the length of the game, b)turn into 'teamliquid A' vs 'teamliquid B' vs 'OhYeahWeAddedSomeAiPlayers', and c)invite cheating and accusations of cheating, as well as making posting reports problematic.

This game is all in good fun. While there will definitely be competition between the two teams, it will be friendly, because there is no prize and no way for one team to actually weaken another team. It will be funny to see if the teamliquid teams treat the opposing civ that represents the other team different (will they declare war on them, just because its the other team?). It'll also be interesting to see if different superpowers emerge.
The game will take the same length of time as a normal game, as they are both being played simultaneously, however if one team gets a lot further ahead than the other, it might be an idea for them to slow down a little bit and wait for the other team to catch up.

Yeah, I agree with Fen this will be really fun and intresting (getting to see two diffrent strategies from the same start will be very educational).
We should try and make two seperate threads thought to avoid confusion and the split should be performed randomly.
My 2 cents

This post represents a reading comprehension fail on your part. I'm not sure how much clearer I could have been.

Fen is suggesting the same thing you are, Keilah, except that he's letting the two teams be a different civ.
Neither of you is suggesting you actually play both teams in the same game, which is what I'm assuming you (Keilah) thought Fen was saying.
Unless I'm reading incorrectly.

K guys you can stop worrying I'm pretty close to beating my first game on noble difficulty. Obviously I've got some serious civ chops. It's funny how this game brings out a completely racist side of me I didn't now I had. Freaking Japanese Jews always stealing my coal mines.
Anyway again totally sign me up.

What do you mean by multiplayer mode? Like two separate succession games that started from the same game but with different civs or will both teams be competing against each other in the same game? We cant get both teams to actually compete, because that would require turn for turn play, which would take forever. However if we start both teams off on the same game, but controlling different civs, I think it will be interesting to see how it turns out. So two seperate succession games started from the same game, but with different civs.
ahhh, missed this post somehow, and it all becomes clear. My bad, I apologize.

Any idea when we're going to start this? There's a couple people (myself included) who weren't added to the first post so I'm not sure how many we have.

arg, sorry, im soo busy at the moment, ive been trying to find time to start this for the last couple of days. I'll get on it now.

Team A
Ok, this will be the thread for team A, please post your turns in this thread, so we do not get confused with the other team. You may post as much as you like in either thread, but its important we keep the games seperate so there is no confusion.
There will be no rules made against using information from the other team's game as they are impossible to enforce.
Before taking your turn, please double check a few things.
* That you are on Team A - Your name should appear on the roster below. If it does not, do not just go ahead and play, contact me, or look at the other roster to see if you are there instead
* That you are in the right thread - Its very important to keep this clean
* That you are playing as the correct Civ. Remember that you have to select the civ you are supposed to be playing as when you start the game. Team A is Incan, and therefore you should be playing as Incas. We don't want to see someone posting as the wrong team.
* That when you PM the next person, you get the right person on your team
Hopefully this will go smoothly, so good luck team A

So wait, after an incan takes their turn, how do we know who to inform on the other team so that england can go? Or are we simply playing the same map, with separate games and separate civs so that we can see it grow from different perspectives?

So once again, it is the dawn of time, and the mighty Teamliquid is ready to build an empire that will go down in the history books as the greatest civilization ever. However this time, they are split. A cruel act of god has seperated teamliquid into different groups, with each group picking up their own banner. How will this change affect the mighty teamliquidians? Will the course of history play out the same way, or will the butterfly effect result in drastic changes? Only time will tell.

The first group of teamliquidians rally under the banner of the Incans, they turn to their first great leader, to begin their journey to glory. This great leader's name, is banana.

(Note: Save files cannot be opened in single player mode, you must open in multiplayer mode or by just double clicking the save file and letting civ load it all up for you)

Yes. we are just playing the same map, with seperate games. Playing two teams in the same game would require turn for turn play, which would take years to complete.

Ah ok. Works for me. I thought the idea was to do that, except have both players be Incan (or whatever) but this works too! Gogogo banana, do us proud!
(death to england)

Hmm, I think the turn for turn play could be doable if you list up the roster with people's time zones and when they will be available to play, that way they can bounce back and forth between the two players for twenty turns and then save THE GAME ALREADY
|
maybe another time that can be worked out, but for now this game is set in stone so lets just roll out 
|
Got it, will play in few :3.
|
Alright team A! We can do this! Also, Team A, can I request to move down further? My grandparents are in town until the 23rd and I will have no time to play. I don't mind being dropped 2 or 3 spots or to the end. But I know, in the next 3-4 days I will have no time.

Hmz, getting this message, what to do:

Save and continue playing. the AI will take over for them and that's what's supposed to happen, because we're playing on two different saves.
