PBEM Open Game � Everyone can Play?

[Greybeard]

Hello Cross,

Interesting concept, perhaps a major question would be is how to track who has the turn.. say one person is interested in playing a turn, but 2 people download it, play and upload.. now you have 2 uploaded games running, possible at different turns even.. this could sno-ball rapidly and become confusing as well as unmanageable.. better to have a tourney with a tourney master I think - to keep things organized and moving in a desired direction.

While an interesting concept, I think for most players, it might be a little frustrating to set a working plan in place, play turns getting the plan into action, only to have someone else take the turn over that is not aware of the strategic goal, and throw the wrench into the air intake.. wrenches and compressor blades don't mix real well.. personally, I'm not sure how many times I might be able to handle getting hit with the wrench before I was too frustrated to continue..

too many chiefs, and not enough indians perhaps..

As for a team game, with defined opponents.. I enjoy those alot.. and yes it does take a large commitment to keep one going.. second only to a tourney..
