If it comes down to it, I'll "start" it up.

Anyone know of any 3rd party Dom2 game management programs? I was thinking of writing some tools to manage games/servers. It would be a PBEM manger that would allow admins to start PBEM games, and it would also email players when it was their turn. If I do decide to make something like this, I wouldn't hold your breath, as I haven't yet delved into the workings of the game.

I'm experienced to host one but it'll be more work than I like... It isn't complicated, just getting all the 2h file and sending out the trn files on time. And response when people complain .

Oh.. One thing, everybody needs a password protected god file. The host will be honest but it still runs better this way if every file is protected. For example, the host can mass mailing everybody all the files, instead of sending out different attachment for different player.

Or we could use a 24/7 game server. I think Mose Hansen provides his machine to host game for free. The game will run more smoothly this way, and less hassle for the host.

Bob (Thompson), what is the reason that you don't like Online game? It's the same as an email game, except that you don't need to send out the file manually - provided the server doesn't crash .
