I guess it's better to password protected your file and restart it. I've hosted a game. It'll be 17 times the work if he can't mass-mail (unless he's written a script or program to handle it). For a slow server or conncection, it would be a nightmare.

More so, even if we trusted Lear totally, you still don't want the host accidentally see all your move and diplomatic message at one accidental click by mistake.

But, Lear has the final call.

Well, I already sent in my .2h file for the first turn, so it would probably be more work than it's worth to send in my pretender file again. Besides, the worst that could happen is that I'll lose, which will most likely happen anyway.

It's the first sentence of my post which really matters, i.e., more workload for Lear.

But he'll be the judge for that. I won't argue for him. I'm just describing my past experience.

I've recieved enough asking that we're going to restart te game with everyone having password protected pretenders. Sorry for the delay, but as I still haven't recieved the .2h fles from everyone yet (ahem, mictlan), its not quite as much of a delay as it might have been.
So, I expect those who have not already passworded to send in one... quickly.
