General Info
 

How is communication going to work?

I kinda wanted to change the way things are played with my version. I am droping email as the method of communication, insted just using email to recieve only a system message saying a game has started. All communication could take place using the following

  1. A "newsroom" which would look like threaded discussion
  2. A private messaging area which also would look like a threaded discussion, but you would select who could view the messages.
  3. A summit area which would be a java chat room (using someone else's program). This would have a schedualing system where you could schedual a meeting with a number of players
  4. And finally a personal communication section where you could list your contact information for other users to see. This could be email addr, icq, ....
