Ghorpm: I wholeheartedly support this idea! And before you ask me why I didn't join PBEM games yet let me explain - I have a few friends to play AoW with and we usually have five or six active games. It's because when somebody is defeated she or he is pressing to start a new game. And I used the pronoun "she" first on purpose - we have an astonishing statistic: two males and five females (sometimes but rarely even six). I'm sorry but you can't beat it ;)
That's all nice but you did one thing wrong. You presumed that I will be willing to accept any apology and I am not. So stop making excuses and join us at once. Muhehe. :-)
Yes, I just had successful turn in our PBEM game. :-)
Btw. If the winner really wants to try it, Dave made great program that makes taking care of PBEM games walk in the park.
