Probably awk would work well for turning the email info into formatted display.
Or for turning the data put into a form into a table.
If anyone wants to jump on that it would be great.

But if I did one to run on my server Id probably wimp out and write it in basic.

I haven't written anything but db programming in 20 years
I would essentially let every player propose one nation.
and then bid on any of the proposed nations

it would be cool if it had a screen appearance like the domininons message screen but any kind of screen would do.. even a webpage would work great.

Essentially you're talking about 3 bits of information -
player or team, nation, amount bid.

actually, in thinking about this I could probaaly do this in my sql... Not very portable..

Can you host mysql?
