absolutely!!! 3 cheers for Tripp! I happen to be stuck doing this alone
because the nearest gamer that I know is 1 hour away, and doesn't have a
computer. And the time requirements are massive. literally 3 hours a
day each weekday for me with my Vosgaard PBEM. it would take time on the
weekends, but I travel out of state (and away from my computer) on
weekends to be with my wife, and she would strangle me if I did gaming
then. so, again, I agree with tripp in that this will take TONS of time.
