critical need for save feature in PBEM

[gwgardner]

I understand that the save feature is disabled for PBEM, to forestall cheating.

However, for someone like me who takes forever to do a turn, successfully leaving this game open and active on my computer for a day or more, to make a move, is ridiculous. Not to mention the time to do an AAR.

I seriously request that the save feature be enabled for PBEM. It's very much needed in order to make the game fun, and not a burden.

The cheating issue is just not at all important to me - no decent player is going to cheat, and it's quite obvious if one does.

You can do this already by un-selecting the PBEM button.

This will allow you to save when every you like and still have passwords.

It will also let anyone open a turn any number of times without the opponent knowing ... so know your opponent. [;)]




PS Unfortunatley it can't be changed mid-game. [:(]

I wish we had known that!! Bummer. Thx, will keep that in mind for future games.

Actually, this is so important I'm going to get with Choco and see if he would agree to restarting our current PBEM. We're only one turn in.

You will need to check the "Passwords" option if you don't use the "Play by Email" option.

Thx. Chocolino, are you listening?

Just tuned in. Also did send you an email about this. Not a problem for me to restart if this makes life easier.

But I am getting a bit worried about what devious plans I am up against if you strategize your turn for so long.....

Haha. Since you've won 4 out of 5 of our PBEMs, I don't think you have much to fear from my devious planning.
