And on. Anyone know how to set up the gmail forwarding? I tried to figure it out, but got stuck and then had to do some work...

I know it requires creating an account (e.g. PBEM48.rb@gmail.com) and then writing a lot of rules for emails. I would do it but my wife is sick and i've got the two kiddos. The tracker itself, though, I have no idea how to set up.

I think we've been cannibalizing old Mistbinder pages from previous games. I know Scooter's done a couple...

k - I figured out how to set up the forwarding rules, so I can do that if you can't. I have commodore's and mostly_harmless's email and I think nicolae's, but I would need your, dazedrolalty, but not till tonight.

Excuse my ignorance, but what does the gmail forwarding do exactly?

Should allow us to set up a tracker, so we can always tell where the save is. Thus, if I forget, commodore knows to ping me for it when he hasn't got it for awhile. I think the tracker depends, in some way, on the forwarding.

What a tracker is and does:

(January 1st, 2013, 06:42)novice Wrote: Okay, here's how the tracker works. Send the save from your email address listed in this thread to pbem46@gmail.com, and forwarding rules set up in gmail will automatically forward the save to the next player(s) in the turn order.

Additionally, this tracker page http://mistbinder.org/tracker/tracker.php?game=bts46 checks the pbem46 gmail account to see who last sent the save, so that you can see there at any time who has the save. It's also possible to download the save from there if you can't access your email for some reason.

The forwarding rules are set up, although emails from Old Harry are only forwarded to TheHumanHydra at the moment, since Lego and Catwalk still haven't allowed gmail to forward emails to them. Emails from THH, Lego and Catwalk will all be forwarded to Azza.
I have to run.
