tracker works by that you send the save to the mail, and then it forwards the save to the next player, while at the same time the php tracker logs onto the mail whenever its called to see when the last save was sent

can't remember ever having had that before ... and that (putting password there) could maybe be abused

Well, the tracker email and password are public for the FFH PBEM XXXI game I launched, and I don't anticipate any problems. Set a password for your civ if you're really worried about spies or something. The advantage of having publicly available tracker information is that A: you can just grab the save directly from the tracker if you accidentally delete it or something, and B: players can access the tracker to find out who has the turn if it gets otherwise unaccountably stalled somewhere.

... tracker with php from which you can download the save and see who played last ...

the abuse that i consider most likely is the mail account being taken by a sniffer bot

blockade off for Galleys and Trimeres ...

Think we should ban blockades completely.

Eh, disguise the email address with spaces and some brackets or something and it should be safe to post.


I support full bans on all blockades, which I think is the consensus.


Thank you Sulla for the subforum!

Just PM it to Bob, problem solved :P

Oh, scout starts?

[Bobchillingworth]

Did we vote for scout starts? Did anyone ask for them? I cannot recall. Regardless, I don't really care if we start with scouts or not, although my slight preference is for just starting with warriors as normal. If you want to give us scouts in addition to warriors, okay.


I would like to begin the game tonight if the map is otherwise complete, rather than waiting another 12 hours until everyone can vote on something insignificant.

[Commodore]

Heh, it's starting review in the lurker thread. None of you have Hunting, so it's not a big deal either way, I'll default to warriors as normal.
