ok, being in 4 games does show a weakness, first off, if you load a few turns after each other, if you forget to check which was last one, then i dont see it in topic or anything, who´s turn it is nor what games i am actually in? perhaps it should be like a top topic in each pbem.

secondly, when you do a email for all in the game, to pass around the turns, then you get the diplomatic broadcast from country (country playing phase) which is nice, but could it with pbem, please automatically include game name, like perhaps first? :)

nothing for this coming patch, but along with next patch perhaps?

to sum up!

Perhaps a bar above the one saying Russia Land or as part of it like this

Corsican Usurper Russia Land Phase! this would tell me, its the right game, as i currently play in two as russia :)

and the other bit in emails would say the following

Corsican Usurper - Dipmoatic Broadcast from Russia (France playing Land Phase)

while its a bit longer, mainly due to game name, then it would make it simple for all to find out what game it was for, especially if you are in a rush, so forget to send this info or if you get some diplomatic offer from another player, who forgot to include game :)

That's a great idea Dave
