I'm not that familiar with Pasha's games, I assume by looking at the recent rand game that he manually hosts them himself on his own computer or something similar. Don't know how regular the schedule is or anything.

Automatic hosting as used on Llamasever or in Gandalf's server via direct connect seems to be fairly accurate and reliable. So that will not be an issue next game. Direct connect also actually facilitates team play more than PBEM, as a team can use a common password (or post their individual password on their forum) when creating their pretenders enabling the advisors, captains, and all team members to easily view and in some cases submit turns for all team members (the equivalent to what Chris is doing with his common team e-mail box). Direct connect should also result in faster and an in-game accurate timer. No files to move around, get lost, get confused, etc.

I am putting in a 24 hour delay on the current rolled back turn (the last turn in your inbox) to allow more time for decisions, submissions, concessions, etc, as per my last post above:
