An idea for PBEM games to the Developers

[julyderek]

Hi,

I was thinking of an idea to make PBEM games simpler.

Both opponents have a account with a Free file hosting service and both have the same login and passwords on that service. Every game has a Unique ID so you can play multiple maps and multiple opponents at the same time. This idea is from the PSP game Field Commander (They have their own servers to store the moves.

The above URL & password for every game is entered in the CEAW interface and saved there.

When the player ends his turn it automatically gets saved to the Web service. Similarly when the opponent loads the turn it gets loaded automatically from the file service (if there is new turn saved there). A indicator in the CEAW interface lets you know if there is a new turn saved there.

Makes it very easy and more fun to play PBEM.

What do you think Slitherine ? A simple new patch may do the job.

Thanks.

Regards,
Derek

Its a nice idea but actually a lot of work to get that kind of infrasctuture in place so I doubt it will happen in the near future.
