Due to the special nature of Epic Eight, a separate sign-up thread is required. Please post to this thread ONLY for the purpose of signing up for this event. Refer to the Info Thread for details and to post any comments or questions. Thank you.
Starting zip files will be assigned to players based on the order in which their names appear in replies on this thread. You will be obligated to play from the zip file that your place in this thread assigns to you.
The game opens on July 22, but sign ups will remain open until the last week of the game. Apologies in advance to lurkers and shy people, but only those who sign up can play this one. Don't worry, it's a special occasion, not a new trend.
Everybody who leaves their email on the forum has had their start files emailed to them (so let me know if you didn't receive them!).
Sirp, if you don't want to put your email on the forum, you can email me and I'll reply with your start file. If that's not possible, I will put it on the web, but I'd prefer to do it via email.
As Sirian said, to those who didn't sign up, there's still time!
The starting locations are denoted by little crosses on the map, as Sirian said. None of the starting positions are on the two little islands; but it'd be a nice challenge if they were
Yes, I plan on playing this game. I could use a laid-back kind of game after Epic4, and I need to start testing out the new patch as well. So sign me up.
Griselda, you can send the savegame file to MSoracoe@hotmail.com, and, if you have time, could you possibly update the link to my Civ3 page? It's moved to this location: http://www.kalikokottage.com/civ3/sullla/
Thanks.
Depends on how long 6 takes, but I'm looking for a good "get my feet wet" game for 1.29f. 80% chance I will play, which is enough to sign me up for a starting position.
It's been a while since I've played Civ, didn't even know a new patch had been released. But now I'm intrigued (they put a minimap in the editor? Wonder of wonders.). Time to download some patches and try this game out again.
I found this site via the main page on civfanatics.com today, and I like the style here - Ever since Civ I, I found myself talking and listening to details of each game me and my friends would play. Not many games carry that ability, but this certainly does, and although I'm a weakling in Civ terms, I'd like to sign up for Epic 8 and give a go at your tourney!
(btw, sorry for being longwinded, just wanted to give some background )

I've sent you off the "player 20 start file" via email, and of course you're welcome to play without reporting. However, I did want to encourage you to report something if possible, even if it resembles the "executive summary" style rather than the full-detail report. In an Epic like this one, with different start files, your game might end up being significantly different than the others', and we'd love to hear about it!
Don't worry, it's a special occasion, not a new trend.
