Team B thread

So coming off of a loss. Will teamliquid be able to make up for their recent loss? Will we get enough people to start a split game? Will the phase 2 of Starcraft 2 beta result in everyone not caring about Civ 4 anymore? Only time will tell my friends.
What is a Succession game?
For those who do not know. A succession game is one in which a group of people play a single game of civilization as a team, taking it in turns controlling the one player against computers. Players take a set number of turns and then write a report of what happened with screenshots to back it up for others that are playing/following to read.
The goal of a succession game is ultimately for fun. It allows people with different play styles and different skill levels to play together and learn from each other.
Rules
- Each player will be placed in a roster and when their turn to play comes up, they will play about 20 turns (It doesn't have to be specifically 20 turns, you can go over or under if it makes sense to end your turn on a specific event) The roster will be updated as people join/leave.
- After a turn has been completed, a player will write a report including screenshots and the save file. (This is where the fun of the game is, so it is important to put some effort in writing a good report)
- After your turn, you will PM the next person on the list, informing them that it is their turn to play (this prevents anyone missing the bump of the thread. Please make sure you remember to do this)
- A player then has 48 Hours to respond in the thread with a "Got it" notice, or with a completed turn. Should this not happen, play will continue onto the next person
- If a player posts a "Got it" notice in the thread, they have another 48 Hours to complete their turn. (Thus the longest time without any new turns is set at 4 days. The "Got it" notice ensures that everyone isn’t waiting 4 days for a no-show)
- If a player feels they will be unable to take their turn within the 4 days, they should post a "Pass" notice in the thread so no-one is kept waiting for them. If you pass, it is your responsibility to inform the next person on the list via PM
- At any time if a player wishes to join or leave the roster, they should PM the person running the game (In this case me
) (You can join in any time during the game) New players will be placed at the bottom of the list.
- If a player misses their turn without passing, they will be removed from the roster(they can still rejoin, but must PM about it)
- The game will be run on the latest version of Civ 4 with the BTS expansion pack

I will also check random seed on each game so no-body can cheat.
Let's have some fun
If you wish to play, please sign up in the thread, it will also help if you post your current skill level in civ (what difficulty you play on). However with our recent success, we will not be playing anything easier than monarch.
Everyone is welcome to play, regardless of skill level, so if you're a noob, don't worry just sign up and do your best. There will be plenty of players who are way above the skill level of the game we play at so it will all even out. In the end, the game is a great learning experience for all. It really is important that we have players from all different skill levels as it makes the game more dynamic. So if you are sitting there saying "I'm not good enough to play with these people" Slap yourself in the face and sign your name up.
Final note on etiquette
This really goes without saying, but don't be an asshat. If you disagree with a decision, point it out in a constructive manner.
Also, when writing your reports, please justify your decisions (especially big ones). It will help everyone understand what you were thinking and help those trying to learn. Also, discuss strategy in the thread. Don't just assume everyone knows what's going on.
Remember that the fun of this game comes from the reports. So if you sign up, please be prepared to put the effort in for writing a report.
We are here to have fun, so winning or losing doesn't matter. There's still plenty of fun to have with a losing game.
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
