>>1. I found two different links to order entry pages:
   #1: http://www.madhouse.com/brokenlands/orderentry.htm
   #2: http://www.madhouse.com/brokenlands/Order-Entry.htm<<

I changed the site so that the new order entry screen (option #1 above) would
work.  I thought I'd updated all the links too.  Did I miss one?  I left the
old page on there because Im messy like that <grin>.  I thought nobody would
find it because I thought Id changed all the links.

>>   Page #1 allows 15 orders, but requires VBScript.  Page #2 seems to
   work in more browsers, but it only accepts 10 orders.  Also, on Page
   #2 it's not clear how to enter an order if the second field is empty,
   but the third field is not.<<

Yeah, I know I should have written it in JavaScript, but VBScript is so much
*easier*. <chuckle>  Given that everybody has IE I just went with the easier
option.  I'll probably update it to JavaScript at some point.

>>2. Page #2 says, "You should receive a PDF turn back within 48 hours."
   The intro pages say, "Some people put in turns every day, while
   others put them in only once a fortnight."  How is that consistent
   with weekly turns?<<

Not at all.  After quite a lot of discussion it was decided that weekly turns
would work better, with set deadlines.  We'll run it weekly for a while until
people get their feet and then we'll ask the players if they'd prefer to stay
that way or switch to the original idea.  Broken Lands is something of a trial
and a work in progress, so we're flexible with it.

>>3. What happened to play-by-mail.com?  It seems that it used to belong
   to Madhouse but was recently taken over by a porn spammer.  :-(<<

It was owned by Kerry Harrison when he ran Madhouse USA.  When he sold to RTG
he was supposed to transfer it over, but I don't think he ever did.  RTG never
bothered to chase him up about it, so eventually it expired and somebody else
bought it, I guess.  Dunno, it wasn't one of mine.  I already have a pile of
domains to worry about. : )
