Yes, definitely keeping it slow, and 96h quickhost from the beginning, with no alteration whatsoever.

I am personally offended by most houserules, but here's my suggestion for general guidelines:

Open diplomacy via email allowed, if a player is observed stalling two consecutive turns (that's at least 192 hours), he's turned AI via a masterpassword unless he notifies the rest.

Standard research, common events, indeps 6, no starting positions, victory by vp with a nice scattering of 1-3vp provinces.

These are my suggestions. However, short on time as I am, I'd loath to organize it. And, as I said, I can't really provide a server. Anyone stepping forward voluntarily?

It could be PBEM, so the host just needs an email account.

I'd be interested as well.

Well, I'm in, if you don't mind my total n00bity. I've only played two multiplayer games thus far, against even ranker amateurs than myself.
PbeM sounds like the logical thing to do.

PBEM is ok for me, but that would certainly disable quickhosting for getting it started...

Anyway, I'd like to play for Caelum if nobody else objects.

What map?

I would also like to join --- perhaps trying my hand at Arco again?

Using my server would be fine IMHO --- especially if everybody agrees to turn AI before quitting and the game is on quickhost.

Just say the word and I'll take the first slot that I see...

As for the map let me propose urgaia... let it be bloody!

Or we could ask Norfleet for hosting and a nice snarky name like "We're Not Dead, Just Veryyy Slow". I suggest this because it can take quite some time for one of your slots to come open, Esben - a sign of its popularity.
