New MP Game - Random, Anonymous, No Diplomacy

Yeah, that is the correct map file, I found it also.

The pretenders without passwords: that does not matter for PBEM. However, if we migrate to a server, than that could eventually cause problems. But it is certainly not critical to have passwords in a friendly game. My motto is: Trust your neighbor, but cover your *** anyway. I always use pretender passwords myself.

The mods: those look correct to me.

Should I notify the players who have not given passwords, in case they want to send new ones?

Ok... as a good little host, I sent out emails to the players who did not make passwords for their pretenders.

Hopefully, we can start the game tonight or tomorrow.

I resent mine with a password. Thanks for the heads-up.

Yeah : Request for Dom-3 :Allow passwords to be added/changed during the game.

Excellent idea!

Also, it would be nice to be able to easily review the stats of various pretenders.

I'd say get a passworded pretender from everybody. If it's not too much trouble, Pasha could recreate the pretenders lacking a password with passwords of his own devising, thus saving us the wait.

I trust everyone implicitly, as this is only a game, with little value on victory or defeat. The problem is, if the players that don't have a password on their pretenders don't have this trust, they are more than likely going to ruin the game for everybody sooner or later, if things don't go their way. (It can't be my strategy that is at fault: it must be my enemy viewing my turns! Hence, I will quit.)
