Michael,
I recall that when I tried to recruit you at first, you turned me down initially saying you wanted to support the underdogs. Then I managed to persuade you to join the Fellowship, a mid-table side, by convincing you that we were the underdog relative to other big empires above us and that you are always free to leave once we reach the summit.
My sincere thanks to you for your contributions to the Fellowship over the course of our adventure to the top and all the best to you wherever you go.

Celeborne,
Good to see the emergence of a second PBEM game on this board. I'm sure there will be sufficient players to start. People like Matthew Downie, Evil Steve and Amidala have expressed an interest to join a PBEM game before.

Well folks,
I've gotten a sudden urge to play another game of Galciv. Seems like my visit to the Galciv reality is going to be longer than I expected. 
I'm also still waiting for vincible's GOTM.

I feel the call of the Ring constantly, my Spymaster friend, even from distant planes.
The temptation is there to go on another long run just to regain that gold medal that I've held for such a long time. But I've played the Metaverse successfully for so many months and I like to believe I've broken free of the Ring's influence.
There is a story to be written here about Evil Ray and his final encounter with the Ring but I don't have the motivation now to write it.

No problem to either relay or to store email. Relaying is easier. gotm-at-galciv.org ????
Storage isn't a problem either.

Just started a Maso/Huge/Rare game. I've grown to like the pop growth pick and am now choosing it instead of speed.
Is everyone aware that the continuing payments after death has been changed? Not sure when they changed it exactly but in the latest version, payments cease once one party is eliminated. That means to say that theoritically, you can buy the AI's last planet with a long term payment plan and then have the payment cease once the AI is eliminated in the next turn. Or once you conquer the last AI planet, you can buy lots of stuff from the AI with a 100 turn payment plan and then have the payment cease the next turn.
If you ask me, I rather have the old system of continuing payments.

I've noticed that too, Ray. I think they were just trying to nerf players who whored an AI on the last turn for long term payments (ex. I'm going to conquer this AI, so I'll get them to buy Dreadnaught Tech for 500 BC/100 mts). Unfortunately, it doesn't stop what you suggested. I guess there's no way to completely stop these things.

My special brew for the last two games of mine was +1 speed, +5% PQ, +10 morale, and luck along with the populist party. A good, all around spread for gaining and maintaining a system majority over the aliens during the game. In the mid game, even PQ 12 planets under that setup make decent advance bases inside alien territory, whether it is for war or culture bombs. They go up to PQ 15 with soil and habitat improvements.
The current game of mine is still in the very early turns, but I am changing the mix a bit and placing my money on +1 speed, +50 diplo, +10 morale (those becoming +70 diplo and +30 morale with populist party). I was never too big on tech whoring, being more of an old school "grind them down the old fashioned way" player. Time to try it pretty much all out, thus the large diplo bonus.

Bunch of chicken you only play masso, why don't you play simple or normal? Are you afraid of the AI?

Alex: sorry to take so long to reply...I've been really busy today! Thanks for getting me setup. I've sent you an email, because I'm having trouble with the permissions.
All: I'll be out of town for the next several days on personal business. Hopefully I'll get some things straightened out with the site when I get back.

Rick,
Wiley has expounded on the benefits of pop growth previously but I personally like it for the increase in money, influence, production and research in the early stage when I'm the most vulnerable. It also gives me troops quicker if I need to blitz any of my neighbours.
My current picks are Populists, +60dip, +70pop.
