PBEM

Just a brief note on PBEM. First off, I think the system is excellent and so easy to use that it makes me wonder why this hasn't been tried before --- top marks to the developers.

However, is it possible to include email addresses in the system (although I guess I could ask when I start a game). It's a nuisance when people just vanish and the game is left there hanging. I play PBEM on one or two systems, and normally only manage 2-3 turns/wk (although with FoG it's 2-3 a day the turns are so quick), so I appreciate 'real life' gets in the way, but the system doesn't provide contact details so it's not easy to check if a game is 'dead' or just 'on hold'.

Cheers

For privacy reasons we wont be doing this but we might add a way to PM people through the server so the server mails them and no personal details are revealed.

Ok, I understand, although in other PBEM games people send emails too I think, but I appreciate you wish to maintain confidentiality and so on. Thanks for the prompt response.
