to email or not to email

[Cheeze]

I agree it's not a bad idea to have the host ask and set a form for email. I think it's necessary, as there are certain matters that can be resolved quickly. Try arranging a trade between two empires with the message delay...ick!

You must continue some comms in the game, at least to give potential "eavesdroppers" something to hear or block. Perhaps email can be limited to large discussions that really cannot be done only in the confines of the game's comm channels.
