Anyone up for a PBEM game?
 

Because lack of experience, I don´t want to host. You should also know that I´m from Sweden, so there could be a huge time differential. Anyone?

Who ever does run a PBEM game I recommend not using simultanous mode.

I have to disagree, Seawolf. I do a lot of PBEM's ( EFS ) and wish it had the capacity for simultaneous mode. For strategy games, turn based PBEM is slow and players quickly lose interest. And this is with only 5 players. I cannot imagine it with 8 or 10. At least with decent players and a 24 hour rule, you can get the turns out fairly fast.

I am planning to start a simul-turn PBEM game in a couple of weeks. If there are any game-killing bugs in simultaneous mode, perhaps they will be patched by then. I will post to this Forum and perhaps a newsgroup or two when I am ready.

Speaking of newsGroups, is there one for SE? I've found the Stars! newsgroup, but no Space Empires newsgroup.

I haven't pbem'd for a while. Do the free internet disk drives make the procedure any easier these days or is it still the poor hosts email accountant who will absorb the load?

Comar, what's EFS?

Leoric, Jag är också från Sverige, Linköping närmare bestämt. Kul att se en landsman här.

Translation for the less fortunate (non-swedes, hehe):

Leoric, I'm also from Sweden, Linköping to be more precise. Nice to see a fellow countryman here.

Emperor of the Fading Suns. It's a strategic RPG about 5 or 6 years old. Still a lot of fun.
