Default Re: MP game; very hard research. Any takers?

There is very little work involved in sending seperate emails: sending the mails themselves take two minutes (I have a template for each of you, and only need to attach your zip), and the zip files require less than one minute to be done.

There is also the matter of passwords; if you do not have one, everybody can access your turn (assuming they have your nation turn file). And then having only your nation-specific file is probably more convenient for the players themselves; it is much lighter to download, and you only see your own nation in the list. And Lastly, having only your own nation file should prevent any crafty player from "spying" on the other players through the hex-editing of their nation files.

So going with the current method doesn't take a lot of work at all, and is likely better for the players themselves.

Sadly, I do not know when will Yellow Cactus be able to play his turns again; himself may not be sure however. The best I could do here would be to "force" him to be replaced, and that's assuming he hasn't set up any password.
