PM, AIM, MSN, email, plus the in-game crappy messaging system. I have used all of these methods in my games.

What? No VoIP (voice over IP)? Surely we can keep up with XBox on this. Oh yeah, Ive also seen a channel opened for the game in IRC

I saw that YellowCactus fled the hurricane and will stale this turn and maybe a few more. Should we wait for him to get back?

Yeah lets wait for him . He is a very nice and addictive dominion player too .
He can do nothing against the hurricane so i think we owe him to pause the game until he gets back

Feh. Knudsen / Machaka apparently didn't understand what "immobile / human pretender" meant.

So, Cohen - what is your protocol for dealing with the inevitable pretender screwups in your flaky games? Frankly, all possibilities I see suck.

Why? What pretender he's?

We should confine him to the capitol probably and site searching in provinces, and turn AI if he uses for combat purpose.

Gentlemen
As the long silent, and now probably long dead nation of Machaka, I belive an apology on my part is in order.

When I joined this game (my first multi player game) several unfortunate events coincided.

I was at the time unaware of this forum and new to the game, and thus didn't get the bit about pretender restrictions.

Equally unfortunate was that I had to leave town just as the game started which caused me to lose the first two turns. But at least that didn't put anyone but me at a disadvantage.

After my first battle with Cainehill, he sent an in game message about the Pretender rule, which I received in the same turn in which he killed said Pretender. Problem solved ;-)

But since I was then, A) In conflict with your rules, B) Missing a Pretender and C) Two moves behind, I decided to "Go Computer" to clean out the mess I had made.

Regretfully

Knudsen_
