Question for non-interested people who've read the thread.
If you've looked at this proposal, and decided its not for you, what turned you off of the idea?

RE:FAJ
It's hardly that much hassle, my blather aside. Or at least I hope to convince you so. If I can't, well, sorry to see you go. It means we're further from getting the game up.

The pretenders a minor hassle, but only setup once. Its a matter of taking the pretender with the most recent timestamp and sending that one it.

With a good email program/website, it remembers where you've saved last, saving you quite a few clicks. It also remembers the 'subject' after a few letters, so you don't need to type up Chupacabra every time. I send my turn to jaguar and chupacabra with about four keystrokes.

On the plus side, this system results naturally in a backup of every turn in case something goes wrong.

I think llamabeast runs a great server system. It's just that if I have a choice between email and tcp/ip I'll go with the latter. They seem like a step backwards from TCP/IP servers.
