You probably need to create an account first. Otherwise there is no way to tell which games you're in.

Andy:

1- go to http://seiv.pbw.cc/

2- Select graphics or text, according to your preference and your browser.

3- From here you'll have to find a "create account" button. In graphics mode, you'll probably find that its one of the SEIV icons along the top. (They're not just there for decoration=-)

Sorry I can't be more specific, but my browser logs me in automatically whenever I go to the site, so the "new account" controls aren't displayed to me.

It's pretty straightforward, all you need to give is a valid email address. It won't get spammed.

Once you have an account and are logged in, you can create new games or join existing ones quite easily.

The button is labeled "Register" in both UIs, in the style of the buttons on the game's intro screen.

Dear all,

OK I am now set up on PBW as "Fist ofDeath" I know the character spacing is quite poor. I always liked that phrase from Alice in the Dilbert cartoons "Must control the fist of death!"

2 questions

1) I have registered with my work email address, so I got the password straight away and logged in. Do I have to use this email address? If so I will need to register again with home email address.

2) What is the name of the newby game? or any new newby games just opened up??

Andy

To view descriptions of existing games, click the "attack" button. You can then go through existing games and find a newbie one. If you don't find one that suits, create your own.

Hi Andy, welcome aboard!
As for your 1st question, you can easily modify your email address in the "My Options" menu.
I've done just like you, register from work and play from home !
However PBW doesn't handle multiple email address for one account, or so it seems.
