TC/IP games need no scripts 90% of the time, unless you wish to speed things up with command line switches and the like. However, it is very simple to set up a TC/IP game without anysuch things. A hamster could probably do it. What is your problem with PbEM? Alright, big games are a mess, but a two player PbEM game is simple and easy. It's not like a multiplayer game will really go fast though. PbEM is probably where most people will use scripts. A script that automates the file moving tasks (and even hosting) can be set up. I believe gandalf has a thread posted about this. Such scripts are virtually incomprehensible to all us hamsters out here though, so most people leave hosting of big PbEM games to the more technologically adept.
