I think you'll find the network games aspect much more to your liking. Very similar to pbem (that being you don't need to sit for hours playing through a game).

But has the advantage, you can see whose turn is outstanding, it updates real time - so if you are th eLast to submit, if quick host is on it gens then and there, you see when the next planned host is and it requires almost zero bandwidth. The game i'm playing has set the host to also email on turn gen so is pretty perfect. Pretty much convinced me that the network side is the way to go if people are happy to leave there machines on 24/7
