Okay, now everybody has to reconnect and re-upload their Pretenders. The last person to do so should click "Start Game" and take their first turn!

I agree PBEM is much superior to TCP/IP. I'm surprised more people don't use it.

eh, the only advantage I see of PBEM is if no-one has a 24h online computer to host.

And if people hosting server-based games would back up the pretenders before starting the game, it would be possible to back things up and restart with the proper settings.

Whereas even PBEM won't help, if the host saves the .2h files containing the pretenders in the game directory and throws away the email after.

Good idea. I'll back up the .2h files as they arrive.

I wonder what all these .2h files in the newlords/ subdirectory are for... They are not identical to the .2h files that people have uploaded. Hm.

Okay we now have eight of ten Pretenders re-uploaded. I will make backups of the pretender .2h files before starting the game, so if we have to restart again you will not re-upload your Pretenders.

The two Pretenders that haven't been re-uploaded yet are for Man and C'tis.
