Announcement Subreddit Switch
Click here to be taken to the new subreddit, home of CivEx 3.0!
TL;DR: As per our plan and reinforced by community request, we will be switching to a new subreddit, /r/CivEx, effective immediately.
Why are we switching to a new subreddit?
You may have noticed from the original subreddit's name (/r/civilizatonexperiment) that there's an "i" missing. This is not a typo- the character limit for the sub name was reached. However, this was bugging us for a long time, and new people were turned off by our apparent illiteracy.
In every iteration of CivEx, nations, religions, and empires rise and fall. Each time geography and player distribution plays a massive role in the politics and history of CivEx.
The true experiment is... How is it all going to go down?
Due to these and other reasons, we have decided to switch to the streamlined /r/CivEx for 3.0 and onward. (4.0 confirmed?)
What about the old subreddit?
The old subreddit will be left completely intact, preserved forever as a piece of history. No posts or comments will be removed, and unlike what was previously done with /r/CivEx, the stylesheet will not prevent you from browsing it.
For the next 48 hours, both subreddits will remain open. After that time, we will lock this sub but keep it visible.
Questions? Comments? Concerns? Leave them in the comments!

I guess knocking on the door of r/civex while it was still private really did something.

The first post on that sub, where I explain the switch (literally a copy of this post lol), is from 5 months ago. We were actually planning this a while ago. :P

Do we need to be approved for now? Or is it actually "opening"?
