Sending the saves
Send all turns to rbpbem14@gmail.com
The tracker for this game is located here: http://mistbinder.org/RBPBEM14tracker.php
------------
This can be our technical issues thread. I requested that Sullla move the PBEM Interest thread over here, but I think he missed it, as he moved over everything except that thread. Rather than bother him, I'm just going to make this one fresh and let that one disappear. If you haven't done so yet, please PM your password to Plako in case something happens and you disappear. I know that you are sure it'll never happen to you, but it's happened to plenty of people here before, so let's not take chances. 
I wanted to create this because there's one rule we haven't covered. What do you guys feel about screenshot trading? We'll just do a simple vote:
1) Unlimited screenshot trading
2) No trading until Paper
I am going to vote for unlimited screenshot trading.

Good call, scooter. I guess we never did come to a comprehensive conclusion on this, but SS trading @ contact makes sense to me. Anything else like you said just results in silliness with paint and/or sandboxes.
Just so we have this here, I believe the restrictions we agreed to were:
- No spies
- Diplo at in game contact
- No War Elephants
Was there something else I'm missing?
P.S. While not related to this, if the save doesn't get around to me in the next half hour or so, I'm going to miss my window tonight - I'll be at work until approximately 3AM my time. This only happens a couple times a year. Regardless, I just wanted to let everyone know because I know Sandover wants to be very rigid about playtimes.
I've got some dirt on my shoulder, can you brush it off for me?

I never got a save today from Sandover... Any ideas where it got stuck?

Do these restrictions count for PBEM15 as well?

So much for making a big deal out of turn speed, eh? Sorry guys, my bad. 
I vote unlimited.

Just a note to all of you - I am creating a tracker/forwarding email account like has been used in PBEM16, PBEM17, and a previous FFH PBEM. The idea is just a simple Gmail account with some fancy filter/forwarding settings, so each person simply sends the save to this account, and it auto-forwards it to the next person. This will also let us keep tabs on where the save is if it gets lost.
There's a web tracker that goes along with it, so if we can find someone who has a webhost who is willing to host the tracker.php file, we can get a webpage up so you don't have to login to the gmail account to see where the save is.
The reason I'm letting you all know here - is you should soon be getting a message asking you to confirm forwarding with this account - it's rbpbem14@gmail.com. Please accept this request, otherwise the account will not forward to you. Once I get all the filters set, we can swap over to using that, and hopefully I/we can find someone who is willing to host the tracker page which would be even better - since pbemtracker doesn't seem to work anymore these days.
