Could you please set up my KOTH game running Proportions with Lord Chane up on your server? I have written an e-mail to Lord Chane and he says that it is okay with him.

Who is the host of it?

Asmala.

Asmala may disagree but I kind of suspect that putting a Koth game up liike this really wouldn't save any time. You could just email the files to Asmala and save him the trouble of having to go to the site to get them.

There is another possibility that works good for two player games, but it requires a bit of trust between the players and Asmala would have to give you the game master password. You can send your .plr file to the other guy, he runs the turn and does his next turn and send the game and his .plr file back to you. Rinse and repeat as neccesary.

Yeah... 2 player game doesn't really gain a whole lot from this, as it is easy to coordinate.
