but jm�s server runs a script that sends you a notify email once a new turn is generated, so you get the best of both  . And there were no problems running the game on his server.

I can't join ... sorry - have fun with the game, but I have to leave for two weeks.

Yup, the automatic email notification is fantastic. I've never actually played PBEM mode...

Re: New MP Game - Random, Anonymous, No Diplomacy
Hi All:
I am still waiting for emails for the following players:
Arkas
King Lear
Bill Paxton
I will start RANDOMLY assigning nations. I will send information to each player separately. Hee hee! The power!

Re: New MP Game - Random, Anonymous, No Diplomacy
Alright!
I have assigned nations, and I will send out emails.
Gee wiz!! I was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO tempted to start tinkering with the results of my random assignment, but I slapped my hand. The assignment is completely random.

Re: New MP Game - Random, Anonymous, No Diplomacy
And now this should become one of the quietest game threads, aside from the occasional "Is the server up" questions. Hopefully no one will go, "Oh man, I finally got the Robert E Lee hero but he got a disease his first battle!"
