I agree, Richard. I fired off an email Last night and was experimenting with it a bit around midnite. It is very, very cool. I'm gonna spend some more time this weekend testing it.

I would love to try it except I never know when I will have free time.
I would love to take 3-4 days and play in a 10-20 player game. That would be awesome.

Yep, looks like a very good way to play SE4.
I'm sending an e-mail...

I'll play around on it. Send the information to r-bradley2@ti.com

This sounds like a godsend! soon SE4 will have a larger following than VGAplanets had in the mid 90s! we will have se4 portals all over the web!

well, maybe. this is still sounding pretty darn cool though.

One Last update for today...

The system now automatically executes and e-mails the new turns when all the players have uploaded their turn files.

The owner of the game can, as always, kick off a new turn whenever he wants.

In this fashion, this service is now fully automated. Once the game is set up and the first turn is uploaded by the owner, each subsequent turn requires no input from anyone but the players who must upload their turns.

Cheers,

Admiral
