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.

Thanks for the link, geo-

Seems like your updated idea should go much quicker than the first Survivor tourney. The problem with these things is that it's really not "the best of the best," as the best players, as you mentioned, can be dogpiled and removed early. As with the TV show, usually someone flying under the radar wins. A fun concept, no less.
