He's not one of the players. He should no reason to cheat.

Okey. Sorry for being away for two days.
The main reason why I started this topic was the fact, that most D2 games I played where missing in rpg elements. And I mean, I miss the pen and paper rpg feeling. YOU are the pretender, so in a game it would be nice to ACT as a pretender.
PBEM or Mose's machine?
Until I started to play on Mose's greate server I was thinking Pbem is a better way to play a D2 game. Well, I was WRONG. Esben Mose Hansen made the greatest D2 server ever. Thank you!
I think it would be nice to play there.
The map...
I think the best way is to decide with voting. When a player registers to the game by posting here, he/she/it must name the map he thinks best.
So how to sign in? That's how:
<blockquote>code:<hr /><pre style="font-size:x-small; font-family: monospace;">Player name: DarkTears
Nation: Caelum
Vote on map: Brittain
</pre><hr /></blockquote>GL&HF
Indy strenght 6 is booooring. I think 5 or 7 would be better.

I'd be interested - every PBEM needs a sacrificial victim, right? Time to try SP against Indie Strength 5.

If you are using Mose's (and not PBEM), I wouldn't mind joining as Arco http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Ligeia - D2 v2.08 PBEM with RPG elements

If the game is to be server, I'd be interested in Marignon or Man

Perhaps posting Mose's site url would be helpful?
