PBW is Back!

Emmm... I was running a game called Human vs AIs AGAIN! on PBW but it somehow disappeared. We have been running the game through email when the server was down. Should I just recreate the game, tell my players to upload their empires again and then upload the up to date turn?

Finally got in! After about 6 hours of trying. Those internet gremlins are at it again.

BTW, since we are on the topic of PBW:

I haven't yet played any full Version SE as of yet. But what I am wondering is- will PBW be necessary/helpful for MP in SE4 Gold? I mean, since TCP/IP is fully integrated into the gold Version.

Yes Arak, especially if you are playing in a massive game with a lot of players. Your opponents are most likely spreaded around the world in different time zones, and the chances are you won't be able to get together at the same time to play a game. TCP/IP is useful if you DO have everybody in front of their PCs at the same time, but even then I really doubt that you can finish a whole game in one session.
