Players taking over for other players temporarily

Unless your replacment is one of the people that has trouble consistantly receiving PBW emails, there is another way. You still need to give them the empire password, but not your PBW password. Set up your options to send turns with the email notice, then set up your options with their email address as an alternate email for you. They can then play the turn and return the .plr file via email to PBW.

If the replacement can afford to take a regular look at the game you even don't need to change the email settings, he can just download the turn from the PBW site directly.
Setting up a thread for short-time standbys seems to be a good idea to me.
