Play-by-Email

New round of posts up on the Kalyr PBeM. If you want to know what a Play-by-Email game (for that is what the acronym stands for) looks like, you can always follow that link.

I'm currently using Moveable Type to archive the turns, using categories for threads, and numbering each post to ensure they're sorted in the right order. The category archives are sorted in ascending rather than descending date order, so that they read as a narrative of sorts. The game itself runs on the list server run by those nice people at Phoenyx.net; so far it hasn't become play-by-blog using the comments facility for player responses. Yet.

One of the threads has got becalmed again, something that seems to happen every so often. Perhaps I should be more amazed that the game is still running after more than seven years than the fact that it sometimes runs very slowly.
