Great idea Nic.

We're actually going to be doing this for free for all the licensees of our
products. As well as providing mailing lists, auto-responders, and email
forwarding for turns/admin, as well as web space for in-game images.

In addition to that, we'll be using custom CGI scripts for use with the web
submisison of turns as well as resources. In STSI, players can join in an
alliance, controlled by an Alliance Master. Every alliance will be able to
have it's own noticeboard which is password-restricted so that players in
the alliance have their own bulletin board for passing messages. Messages
passed to the bulletin board can also be set up to be posted by email to a
mailing list as well.

Now that the technology is here to enhance online gaming ... I suggest we
grab a hold of it with both hands.
