I will also be out of town this weekend from Friday to Sunday. I will make my 1st move before that, but if any action from my side should be required this weekend, I will not be available.

Thanks,
G.

Also, it's not a big deal since we've got three (4?) west coasters and two Europe so that makes for a longer turn around anyway.

is right.

Since each turn is a month, taking a few days per turn for military planning and
diplomacy seems just fine to me.

Status: offline 		I would be up for it, however I would have to do it such that I had scheduled nights and times, maybe a couple/three times a week....an eight year old and 7 month old will do that. My wife would be more amenable to that as well.

Best times for me are 6:00 to 7:30.

Anytime after 5:30 Monday, wed., fri. are good for me. A bit later on the other days as I have racquetball committments.

I'll be free the next few weeks any day to play. Looking forward to my PBEM turn as Spain...I'm still working on my first turn ideas.

Status: offline 		By the way, everyone:

You will note that I have the string "remove" in my e-mail
address. This should in fact be removed by you, the human
to get my actual address.

This practice prevents automated searchers from plucking your e-mail
address off the web and getting it on spam lists.

Its a good idea to use this practice. For instance, everyone could
have had "9999" added to their e-mail addresses on this post with
written instructions to remove the "9999" in the very same post.

I am currently in a PBEM and we are not using passwords, does that matter, and/or how do we change that?

Right-click on the map to get to the Set Policy menu.

The last choice should be about managing passwords.

You can set a password for yourself there. I recommend this because sometimes in a large game people will mistakenly send the turn to the wrong person, and he may open it without thinking, and see your position. So even if no malicious intent is involved, people can still find out things they shouldn't.


Everyone this was posted on another thread. I guess it is an individual choice so just disregard if you want..

You will have to update your own post to add in the remove in your email.

Thanks for the advice.

I see from another thread that he was out of town and is just back, so I would expect the turn to show up soon.

All the moves I made will probably bankrupt Engalnd in about 2 months! Hopefully, I will be better for having learned from my mistakes......grumblegrumblegrumble

Speaking of turn Trec have you do the turn yet? Did you get it?
