Ive worked with ProcMail in managing the latest game of "Newbies and Vets"
It should be fairly easy to setup an email box on my server then process emails. Such as
YARPbids@dom3minions.com
Incoming emails would be processed for
From:
Subject:
Body:
Something like
To: YARPbids@dom3minions.com
From: gandalf@example.net
Subject: game=YARP
Hinnom=30
Man=50
Ctis=10
This could be processed into just a display page with all email addresses being displayed underneath the nations.
YARP
................................Hinnom......Man... .Ctis
gandalf@example.net....30.........50........10
Any email with a new game= would create a new page.
A webform would be simpler but awfully anonymous which could run into problems. I could do either method and it would quickly lead to a very impressive bidding page.
Thats because my efforts are dirty and ugly and quickly make someone else do a much better version.

So do I really need to do a dirty ugly proof-of-concept page or does someone want to whip up something now?
