Sweet! I'm waiting anxiously 
From my experience so far with PBEM games some things to be aware of.
Everyone should only load games from the opening game screen and should always finish there turn then use the save and exit popup. Doing anything else seems to lead to problems.
As well, the one rule in the other games I'm in is that you can't conduct negotiations through email etc. with other players until you have met there civ in the game. I like this rule but I'll leave it up to the majority to decide if they like it.
Good luck to all

And its on to Flexmaster
This is my first PBEM game. There was an option after I saved it to continue. Are we on the honor system not to do this? Cause it would seem you could try every possible movement between turns.
Edit for another question:
Should I keep the preferences as is, or can I change them?

Yes, we're on the honor system not to even TRY to cheat seeing as this game is still buggy as hell and it's easy to cheat even without trying.
As for preferences, I suppose we should all be free to change them as we like but I think we should all leave the "Press enter before ending turn" option on.
However, if we are all allowed to change the options be aware that you're pretty unlikely to get the game back with the options you set.

Are the preferences linked to the game or the player any one know? i.e. , if I turn on color blind help will it show up for everyone, or just me.
In regards to other things, gov's, auto workers, etc..., it's all your choice.

Is this game still on??? I haven't had a turn in over 24 hours now.
ok, but it will make some horrible reading experiences for the lurkers.
LOL, they'll learn to avoid our PBEM threads.
Is it possible to edit the title of the thread to read turns of Friday night PBEM ?
It's almost 11 PM here and I'm off to bed but I'll send the game on first thing tomorrow morning if it arrives while I'm sleeping.

It worked. Someone on another thread said the problem was that you have to quit all the way out when you are playing a PBEM game or you will have problems.

This reminds me of the classic cult move scene from "Reefer Madness".
"play faster, play faster...........................faster, play faster" and on and on. For thoes that haven't seen the antidrug 30's flick, this is what one charature was saying to the piano player with a crazed look on his face, after partaking of the evil herb.
