Requirements
Join
Choose a username. It need not be the name other players will know you by.
(At least six characters, no spaces or punctuation.)
How much does it cost?
Players join free.
There is no charge for playing a game. At the moment, while the system is in beta test, all games are free. Later sponsors will pay a fee to host games (though there will always be some completely free games) and sponsors choose whom they invite to play.
Why must I join before I can play?
So that we can keep a game running over several log-in sessions. The sponsor can set a game to take anything from an hour or so to several days. Players log in, check the state of play and often find they need to question other players before they make their move. It is unusual to play continuously. Most players drop in for ten minutes, read and send some messages, then do something else for while. Later they log in again for replies and to consider their next action.
