It's a PBEM game, but on my automated system, the LlamaServer. I think it's close to a server game in convenience, as you can see who's taken their turn, when it next hosts etc on the website. Also it checks its e-mail very often, sends you receipt e-mails, reminder e-mails and so on.

The website is www.llamaserver.net (although there's some possibility it won't work quite right since I have been changing the system in the last few days and it takes a day or two for the changes to propagate through the internet).

Okay, so I have created the game (see the website), and if you want to you can now upload your pretenders. To do that:

- Go to Game Tools -> Create a pretender god in Dominions
- Go to the savedgames/newlords folder in the dominions directory, and find your pretender file (e.g. mid_pythium_0.2h)
- E-mail the file to: pretenders[ at ]llamaserver[ dot ]net
- Crucially, you must have the game name, 'Capybara', in the subject line of your e-mail

(I decided to call it capybara because the first game on there was called Alpaca after my username here, and I thought I would stick with the South American mammal theme).

By the way, you can always change your pretender later just by e-mailing in a new one.

Hi llamabeast,
I'm interested, but don't have a choice, yet. I'll email a pretender and nation later tonight. Thanks!

The llamaserver has been an excellent platform for pbem games.
