True confessions: You’re one smart mofo, kcd. ☺️

Here’s what actually went through my mind. First I had that annoying forced ending to my last game which left me without any game to play right now. So then I started wondering if there’s gonna be another one soon. And then you came out with the 292 results post and I thought, hm, you’re probably pretty busy catching up on that backlog. Then I checked how many more you had to do and I realized oh Jesus, you’ve got like six more to do. Then it was, now I can’t even ask about the next one. So then I thought about praising you for doing all you’re doing. That seemed like a good thing to do. So that was truly my primary motivation. But I have to confess at the same time. I thought our appreciation might encourage you to squeeze in another one. So thanks, man. 😉
 
Thanks for all the comments, folks! It is is definitely nice to know our efforts are appreciated. And yes, BOTM 300 is definitely on its way. Expect an announcement some time around 6 December-ish.
 
Yes, we are all very grateful for you! including people like me who have not even submitted a game in more than a year! but I know I could :D and sometime replay the old ones - and it is simply great that the community has been going on for so long and we still have new people coming (back) to civ4 BTS - more and more widely recognized as the pinnacle of the whole enterprise ;)
 
By the way, as part of the ongoing efforts to make the games more accessible, we've just launched a redesigned GOTM server home page at https://gotm.civfanatics.net/index.php, which now shows starting maps of current games. And if you click any map to go to the game release page, you'll find a redesigned page, which hopefully makes all the links to download starting saves, as well as info about key dates, easier to find.
