    Default Re: A few questions...

    PBM is play by e-mail. It means one player starts a campaign as a ceratin faction, and the savegame is passed about other players so everyone gets to play a bit. 2 types:

    1 When every player picks a general in game to role play. Player elect a leader every x years and that player is the one who actually does the playing for his time in office. However, whenever someones avatar general fights a battle, the save game is sent to that general and he fights the battle before sending the savegame back to the elected leader.

    2 A One player starts the campaign and plays until the faction leader dies. Then he sends the savegame to someone else, who plays until the next leader dies.
    B Same as above, but the players each play a set number of turns instead of the leader's life.

    To read a complete definition, check out the Throne Room, a forum dedicated to the art of PBMing or look at the Org newspaper, posted on the top of this forum, the entrance hall.
