Default Re: Simultanous Game.

We talked at one point about adding support for sequential turn games to PBW. I had a dream once about supporting SE3 on PBW and the only PBEM option for it was sequential. We decided that the extra coding wasn't worth the small amount of use it was likely to get.

Simultaneous really is a far superior way to play once you get used to it. And if you want to play sequential you really don't need something like PBW since all you have to do is play your turn and email it to the next guy on the list. Setting up PBW to do that for you wouldn't really make it any easier.

Really the only advantage to having PBW support for sequential games is everyone could see by looking at the website who has the turn currently and therefore who is holding up the game.
