Registration here.

I registered.

I did MDC as team name, Geoff Haisty as team organizer.

I'm not sure what the "team" thing means, but I signed up with 3 accounts, so that gets use close to the 5 person minimum.

I hope this isn't just another gay Facebook game since it has the Civ name on it... but who knows.

Hello!



Welcome to the Civilization World Closed Alpha! You’ve just been added to the highly elite, much-coveted roster of players getting the first look at this exciting new game. Your enthusiastic play and equally enthusiastic feedback will help us hone the quality of this experimental title and carry it on to great success.



First, here’s a quick overview of the game:



Civ World brings the addictive, award winning gameplay experience of our world renowned Civilization franchise to Facebook, taking social network gaming to new frontiers. Players will join together with friends to create the world’s most powerful, richest, smartest, or just plain coolest civilization. Coordinate your strategy to win great battles, share your technology to jump ahead of your rivals, lobby your friends to pass important legislation and win vital elections, manage and grow your cities to maximize production and happiness, spy on your enemies and work with your friends to create the great wonders of the world. It’s an incredibly deep and fun game that will keep you playing for years to come!



In a few days' time, access to the game will be granted to you. In order to help you prepare (and get excited!), you have been already been authorized to view the Civ World Wiki. The wiki functions as a manual for the game, and it should be your first stop for any questions about how and why the game works the way it does. We recommend you take a look at it over the next couple days while you await game access, to familiarize yourself with Civ World.



To access the wiki, just follow the link below. Wiki login is protected, accessible only to players on our Alpha roster. You will need to log in using Facebook Connect to verify your identity. If you have trouble, please contact our support email at [email]civworld@2kgames.com.[/email]



Civilization World Wiki: http://wiki.2kgames.com/civworld/index.php/Main_Page



As you check out these resources, remember that when you signed up to be an alpha tester, you signed a non-disclosure agreement as well. This restricts you from discussing any part of Civ World, demonstrating it, or distributing any media taken from or about the game with any person who is not also an alpha tester or an employee of Firaxis or 2K Games. If you wish to change your mind about being an alpha tester, please contact the support email immediately.



Watch for another letter on Monday with game details and access information. In the meantime, thanks for signing up, and enjoy Civ World!



Your Friends at Firaxis

Started playing, it's a little busy at first, not entirely sure what I'm supposed to do.

Looks like it got overloaded and/or crashed a few minutes ago though

They sent out an email last night for the actual game for those who signed up in the group.

Game

But since it's been down since 9pm last night, you're not missing anything.
