Question: PBEM Fail Problem

[Mobhack]

Any secure game which is not properly played is toast. The statistics will be corrupted by at least one player's database being incorrect.

Are you using secure mode for some particular reason (eg competition)?. Otherwise - regular PBEM mode is good enough for friendly games. And it would allow your opponent, if he needs to work aay from home and use his laptop, to play turns while at the hotel rather than only when at home on weekends.

Well the game guide says "We HIGHLY recommend that if you have no problem playing regular secure PBEM to please continue doing so !" so that's just what I do, and since I don't personally know the person I'm playing I like that security.

I understand the desire to maintain security but unless you can convince your opponent to only use one machine for your games or move to basic security so he can use multiple machines then what is happening falls under the "if you have no problem playing regular secure PBEM to please continue doing so" caveat..... you ARE having problems and the reason is that he's using two machines. Ask him to pick one and stick with that or both of you restart the game using Basic security mode.
