I am away Sun afternoon to Tuesday night and then again Monday morning (23rd) through Sunday night (29th).
I have finally decided to put down some cash and register a website. It is www.ruffhi.com. Now I remain free to move the hosting options without having to change the name of the site.

Thanks for the heads up.
Remind me, on bans: the only thing banned is diplomacy, right?

I am away from early Monday morning until the Friday evening.
Re Bans - I didn't think anything was banned.

Idle wondering ...
why is it always (in pretty much all my PBEM's to date) that the saves end up getting sent some ~12 hours off the intended mark? I'm signing up for playing at the evening, but more often than not the saves gets to my inbox in the middle of the night :P

My guess is that it's just the slack in the system. When you play in the morning, and TT plays at lunch, then I get the save after I'm at work - it sits in TT's inbox for 3-4 hours, then my inbox until evening, ~12 hours. If you waited until evening to play, then TT also would play in evening, and it would sit in my inbox for just a couple hours. It really comes down to just a question of where the 24 hours in each day get used up.
Playing sooner is a gamble that others will also be free outside their timeslot, and it's the only way to get more than one turn/day. But I think if you waited until evening to play, we'd still get a turn/day. It's just that it would go through all four of us in ~4-5 hours and sit with you for 18, instead of being spread out in everyone's inbox.

Cute idea if it wasn't for the fact that i've explicitly stalled the save till it was my timeslot, a good couple of times ... followed by the save promptly blitzing through landing in my in-tray in the middle of the night
