OK We'll try this again.
What I'm finding is that PBEM opponents love to play until they suffer their first 1 or 2 defeats. Then turns get scarce and some opponents even begin to ask to restart, etc.
I'm looking for 1 or 2 dedicated, long term opponents. Thomas and I return a turn every day, even though we are separated by 6 time zones. I expect no less from a single opponent. If you are japanese and you get an early defeat, you KEEP ON PLAYING. We will do the same.
I fail to understand the mentality of starting a game that takes years to play and then quitting when you lose a battle. It's war! This game will take years to play. You don't know what twists and turns a game will take over it's course. But you WILL suffer defeats even if it is just that you are unlucky.
OK, rant over. But I'm looking for good, solid, experienced, dependable opponents who can take it as well as dish it out.
