Playing SE IV at the office

I would like to play multiplayer games with a few friends at noon.
What is the more eficient way/setting to gather game turns and to proceed the turn ? (each player playing his turn on his computer, of course).

Shared drive or maybe ftp?

PBW, of course!

Assuming that the players' employers don't block that site.

If so, you can still get turns emailed back and forth, though.

Oh, right.
If you're all in the same building, a shared drive would work very well.
Just get everyone to save their PLR files to that drive, and have one of the autohosting programs monitor it and process turns.

"autohosting programs" ?

I have a LAN helper that's hardwired for 2 players and uses the numlock and scroll lock lights to show who has submitted their turns. Very nifty.

I'm sure there are others out there with more general programs written, though.

can it be downloaded somewhere ?
