Re: Okay! We are moving!
Well, this works well, but people aren't taking their early turns very fast.
While there is little theoretical difference in the speed at which people can take turns, PBEM vs. IP, people aren't playing very fast. For example, the last people to take their turn is very seldom taking two turns in quick succession, for whatever reason.
So, if I were going to use a system like this to save bandwidth (or for the convenient autonotification, which is nice), I'd start using direct connection, get the first dozen turns or so out of the way at least, and then switch to PBEM.
Of course, I am not a patient man.
