The other nice thing about this is we don't have to worry about disallowing surrender. That was a BIG sore spot in Survivor I.

Since each round ends as soon as one player is eliminated, there is no reason not to allow surrender. You won't be forced to play on to the bitter end if you don't feel like it. Although you would be wise too cause all you have to do is hang on a turn longer than at least one other player. And who you surrender to is unimportant too since the game ends at that point.

I'm interested, although w/ 36hr turns, vacations would be a bit painful. Having the No AI mod would be quite useful. Also, will you be using GOLD or 1.49?

Gold or 1.49, probably Gold, but whichever I can get the most people with. (Hey, maybe one of each! )

As far as the No AI mod, I would say no on that, but you can use the "None" minister style when setting up your race and it will do the same thing. That way if you want your AI to nothing they will. But some people would prefer the AI play for them to having nothing going on while they are gone.

If anybody is unsure how to do that check out this thread,

NONE AI THREAD.

I think I might like to give this one a go. I have no idea who the strong PBW players are, nor anything to measure myself against (I can beat TDM races on high diff.-med. bonus, but who can't).

Seems to be a good idea.

I'm just curious... what were the results of Survivor One? Was there an official thread with standings and the renound final "Survivor"?

This would be an interesting read, in my opinion.
