Author Topic:   Can someone tell me how to play by e-mail

I'm very bored. I can't play multiplayer because I don't know how to play by e-mail. How do you? I for people who say I'm ignorant, I did read the read-me.

Best multiplayer site is ACOL. Many over there are a little nasty in attitude towards you, but they should get over it.
You can play Multiplayer by IP or PBEM. You need an opponent or a few to play against. The first player sets up the game and starts it. Takes his turn. Then saves and exits. Then the game is sent via email to the next player.
Go read the material at ACOL. You know the address.

But do have to send the file over e-mail?
Or is there another way?

you don't have e mail? Just send it via U.S. postal service. Put your computer in a box and mail it.

NO, I didn't mean GET POSTAL, I meant, it's too slow to transfer files on my computer.

IDF:
Obviously you could send the .SAV file by ICQ or another form of direct file transfer, if you and the recipient were online at the same time.
Email is quick enough, though, because you can zip the SAV files down to c.10% of their original size.
Why do I get the feeling you already know that?

What's the address? I really don't know.
