Keith,

In your post you said you wanted me to explain;

"...why they think they have the ULTIMATE PBM."

I can certainly understand your desire to have this question
answered before you spend the time to answer the questions I posed,
so here goes.

We are attempting, as I stated in my post, to create what I believe
will be the best play by mail game created to date.  One factor that we
believe is critical to our success is the ability to talk to people who
play in these games now, so that we can get their input in the
design process.  Of course we understand that thoughful responses take
a substantial amount of time to compose and type, and for that reason
we are offering incentives: free play in a play test game, free turns
when the game becomes available, or designer credit once the game is
completed, depending upon the level of assistance offered by each person.

If you are reading this post and haven't read the post to which it refers,
please reference my post of 12 Jan titled New Play-By-Mail game,
and Keith Sorn's post of 14 Jan. If you have an
interest in play by mail games and haven't responded yet, please do,
as your comments are very important to us.

If you have sent a reply, don't worry, I have read them all, and will be
getting back to each of you individually within the next few days.  One
of the areas in which many of you felt that PBM companies were deficient
in was customer service, and I want to assure you that I agree completely.
Customer service will be one of the most important areas in which we will
concentrate, and toward that end I will always attempt to reply to
correspondence promptly.

I look forward to hearing from more of you.  Replies and any questions
should be sent via Internet to:

lc1v@andrew.cmu.edu

Thanks,
scott
