Too tired to read through it -- someone read it, and give me the synopsis?

Something about teams?

Alpha starting next week?

Wait, does that mean we have to be friends on Facebook; does that mean I'll be forced to look at photos of beautiful Rogier and his beautiful girlfriend?

I signed up for the name and that i have 50 computer addicted friends who want to play from all over the world. Next week they will send out emails to those selected.

So.... if everyone could register a SCEC/IE/IRONFIST/ETC team, we problaly have a bigger chance.

We?re also happy to announce that we intend to launch the Closed Alpha test version of the game on January 12th, and you can sign up to become part of our development testing team starting today!  Would you like a chance to join the test? Then we?ll need you to form a team with your friends, and sign up for the alpha test as a team. Why a team? Because to win in Civ World, you?ll need to collaborate with your friends in order to do well in the game and become ruler of the world, so in our early Alpha testing, we?re grouping people together to simulate how the game will work when it?s available to the world at large. In the final game, you?ll be able to sign up individually (although we?ll love it if you invite your friends), but to participate in Closed Alpha, you?ll have to enter as a team. It?s up to you how you organize your testing team. Your team can be anywhere from 5-50 people. 
 
What we?ll need from each team will be a team name and a team captain. Each team member will need to register on our sign-up page  www.2kgames.com/civworld/alpha and enter their team name and captain?s name, along with some other information. Teams will receive their acceptance confirmations beginning January 10th. Teams are how we ensure you get to play in the same game as friends. However, Civ World is a game of shifting alliances and powers, with civilizations and factions rising and falling all the time. You may not always be playing on the same side as your teammates -- in fact, you're just as likely to be their opponents! We?ll ramp up the size of the Alpha test squad as we progress in development, so hang in there if your team is not part of the first round. We?re looking forward to bringing you into the game, so go out there and get your testing team together!

Bolded the interesting part.

I assume the team name is Iron Edge
what did you use as leader name?

If you haven't signed up already, do it.

Everyone can do it. More that sign up, better our chances.

I am very tempted to hit the 'Broadcast' button, which sends this thread to every user of the IE forum...
