I'd be into a PBeM game, I think... except of course that I've never played one. So if you don't mind coaching a newbie a bit, I'm all for it.

Hello all!
I have started the game. Our goal is to try and get one turn in per
day if possible. For those of you who are unfamiliar with how to play
your turn I'll list the steps:
Launch SMAC
Click Multiplayer
Click Hotseat/PBeM
Click Load Multiplayer Game
Load the PBeM saved game file
Make sure it is your turn. Sometimes the wrong turn is sent.
Set your password. (Only needs to be done the first time)
Play your turn.
Save and Exit, don't set a password for the next player.
If possible, please compress the saved game file using DropStuff. This
helps out those of us on slower connections.
Email the turn the next person.
Post in this forum. Example:
Turn 2101 --> Baston
This allows us to keep track of the turn.
Here's the list:
1. Illiria(Dan), Gaians, kaesmayr@topmail.de
2. Baston, The Hive, mark.hunter@net.ntl.com
3. Rue, Morganites, classica@clear.lakes.com
4. Jon, Peacekeepers, JWight@bigfoot.com
5. Stumpy, Spartans, bthornt@itsa.ucsf.edu
6. -Ashman-, The University, brimhall@xmission.com
If your email address is wrong, please let me know.
Thanks and goodluck!!!
Ash

Turn 2102 ---> Illiria(Dan), Gaians
(BTW Is a www forum the best means of communication? How about one of those free mailing lists at egroups.com maybe?)

Turn 2101 --> Jon of the Peacekeepers
So I had a technical problem: For some reason, when I loaded the game it thought I had already moved my unit for the turn, when I hadn't. I loaded a couple of times, threw away my preferences and loaded again, and then my unit could move. It wasn't that it had moved automatically and I hadn't noticed it, I had moved it exactly one square the turn before. Anyway, that's the head's-up on why it'll show I had multiple saves. If faced witha similar situation in the future, should I just take the errors and roll with 'em? I wouldn't have a problem with doing it that way. Thoughts?

Eep. I got the saved game and it is asking for Stumpy's password. I'm sending it back to him.
Bummer.

Okay, sorry about the radio silence, but I had a fifteen-hour work day today and was utterly unable to get on the net.
It sounds like I had the same problem as Rue... I was offered a treaty dialogue, and after closing that box it indicated that my unit had already moved... which it hadn't. So I restarted the game and tried again, it happened again, so I quit out and threw away my preferences (please don't ask me why, I have no idea), and then when I restarted and reloaded the game, after the dialogue box my unit was allowed to move.
(Ash, I see what you were driving at: I typed that I had sent turn 2101 above... hell, maybe I did, but I sent the right one now)
Then, apparently, I promptly sent off MY turn to Jon. Whoops.
This time I'm pretty sure I did it right. So, here we go, getting the ball rolling again:
Turn 2102 --> Jon of the Peacekeepers
