PBEM game: The first step (Running)

[Alneyan]

Oh, thanks for reminding me I should give a list of all players and their mails. It should be made available tonight or tomorrow morning (GMT). It would be much better to handle messaging by mails: it allows for easy reference, and is much faster... plus, good luck for correcting typos in a Dom 2 message.

[En Forcer]

No kidding! The email list would be quite handy.

As long as you don't post them in a way that they might get into some spam list...
Somehow every Email I have ended up flooded with Junk Mail, even those I took special care not to give out anywhere.
My current account is the only one I have left that is free of Junk Mail so far.
As for the latest turn, it seems to have gone pretty well.
The only thing Im worried about is that others seem to do way better than I do (as far as the statistics go atleast).

[Alneyan]

The roster with mails will be sent in a mail, as posting mails is a risky move.

Just so everyone knows, my computer got infected with a nasty virus, I think I managed to overcome it (Yay for Norton + Task Manager!) but just in case I suddenly vanish, you'll know what happened.
That was a tough one to handle!
I had to AdAware it for all of its friends, I had to update my Norton Antivirus, I had to manually delete several files via cmd and I had to kill several proccesses so that I will be able to delete the master virus file.
If I was a bit smarter It would have probably taken only an hour, maybe half an hour, but it took my almost six :\.
So if your homepage is suddenly a spyware searchpage, your google results are sqewed (Lavasoft's AdAware replaced with Yavasoft's adaware) and your desktop suddenly changes, you'll know you got what I did, and that it can be defeated with Norton Antivirus.
Hooray for Norton!
*No, this is not a commercial for Norton*

EDIT: Interesting, even reinstalling the Google Toolbar after the virus was removed didnt fix it...
Maybe its something in the registery that the Google Toolbar doesnt delete when uninstalled...
Well, I hope this doesnt mean the virus is still here, and I can live without Google Toolbar...

Turn 6

I Check out the situation. Give some orders. Will take more decisions in the morning.

Find an enemy capital two provinces away from mine. Each person should be capable of conquering about 19 independent provinces before running out of room. So don't get nervous and start an early war causing both sides to lose the game.

Turn 6

Machaka gained a fifth province. Pangaea captured two provinces, for a total of four. Arcosephale also has four provinces now. Man, Ermor, and Marignon have three. Pythium and Jotunheim have two.

Pythium found a gem site. Machaka's research lags behind the rest.

Jotunheim hired Hector's Heavy Horsemen.

Im sure you can see the logic here.
I see Im not faring so well, but its just the beginning of the game, so I'll wait before I declare myself dead
