We're not using PBEM; lch is running a server. Basically, lch's fancy scripts email you a notification when a new turn is ready. Then you connect to the server through the Network option, select your nation and enter your password. After the game downloads the turn file, you can either play your turn directly on the server, or you can then disconnect and play the turn offline through the Play an Existing Game option. After finishing your turn, when you reconnect to the server it will automatically upload your turn. All in all, it's a lot more convenient than PBEM.

What he wrote.

The game is up and running, everybody should have received a message with the info. Except for Darkwind / R'lyeh, because his mail bounced back: "User unknown". Please give me an email address that can actually receive the turn notifications. For a game that's running with a 24 hours timer this could be very important unless you check the game server status a couple of times each day yourself. In there is the server/port info how to connect, too, Darkwind.

P.S.: The VP win options that you wanted are not possible to achieve through normal game setup. But it will be quite easy to make out from the graphs when one nation gets 7 VPs and holds them for one turn. Shouldn't be surprising, too.

P.P.S.: Renojustin, please remove my email address from any and all posts. Especially that first one. If you need to tell people about the email address, you can link to the graphic.

Sauromatia is awakening to the glory of the new goddess. Woe be to the foe who crosses us with economic or military aggression!

The Black Knives stand ready to flay the flesh of men once more as in days of old, except of course that of the mighty and virile Androphags, the only men worthy to fight by the side of the Amazon Queens. So don't let the name fool you.
