Unless I completely misunderstood, he was trying to figure out how to attach a random map he had for the players to check out. In other words, an attachment to his post on the forums and not anything to do with email or LlamaServer.

Is it just me, or do you not have to put an attachment in your emails to send in your turn? Heh, really though, just trying to do my best to help the players out here, I guess I've said my piece at this point!

Yes. You do have to use attachments in email to send and receive your turns. (It's really not that much trouble.)

I was surprised to find that pbem is actually really enjoyable!! This will be my second one.

PBEM is much better, and safer, the server crashed in a game I was playing,
( I actually had a shot of winning ), they say that happens rarely, but I'm not very optimistic now.

I actually prefer the llamaserver to network hosted games.

Renojustin · #7 June 22nd, 2008, 05:28 AM

Safer, only if the host does not keep a backup of the game. Better? Not by a long shot. Explain how you can possibly justify that when in a network game, you are always a click away from downloading or uploading your turn.

Everything on the llamaserver is saved (backed up).

Renojustin, if you're really unhappy with PBEM, I don't think anyone will hold you to staying in this game, but I think it being PBEM was pretty clear from the first post?

(I hope that didn't come off as sounding mean or whatnot, that's not how I meant it).
