Well, I still have not heard from Sheap, and I have no means to do so. I'd guess that somebody on this forum can get a hold of him (maybe archaeolept), and get the game files for us. I'll take steps to that end, and see what I can do about getting the files (but if anyone has any other means of getting a hold of Sheap, please do tell!).
I'm open to PBEM (if that's workable), but I'm a little bit nervous about whether we'd have full participation. After all, mosehansen + this forum make it about as easy to communicate as can be done, yet even with mosehansen games it's hard to get all the players communicating, and few if any staling/dropping out without notice. PBEM would just be that much harder to keep going (though I'm certainly up to the task
). I certainly would feel better about a PBEM game if we get a substantial majority of the players voting for doing that, here in this thread.
If we get the files, I can also ask Esben whether it's possible to get this game up and running on mosehansen, but that may be a pipe dream (both from the point of view of feaseability and abuse of Esben's time).
Regardless, I'll send out more PMs to seek out those files, and post on the results.
