I think we should play ''Shipwrecked'', a map made by Rheno, who made the Prison Break map too, that we've played before.
The races are:
Elves
Dark Elves
Archons
Undead (Jamesede)
I am tempted to just start the PBEM now, but I may as well post this first so people have a couple days to express their preference for race. Or map.

Great initiative Southern!
Dark elves, I've been the goodie dogooders last time :)
Edit: opening the map the dark elves have air magic, which I've also used a lot recently - some might say abused ;-P
I'll play the tree huggers.

And I assume you mean Elves now rather than Dark Elves since there are no trees in the land of Lloth.

And I'll let you know that tree hugging is a national sport - the record is 43 days hugging a tree, living only out of its raw bark and sap!

You catch the last second switch to the MPE mod that Southern just made?
In other words, prepare for a world of hurt fighting my massive army of Legionnaires with Block V (+10 defense!!!). Oh wait, I'm going to be the one in a world of hurt with my death weakness Paladins against you. Dammit, face palm. :)

I need your email to start.
Because of TZs I'll do this order:
- me
- Southern
- Mimo
- Jamesede
I'm doing it like this because it alternates the goods and the bads. Let me know if I should swap the last two - like this it's perfect if Mimo is east coast and Jamesede west, if it's the opposite I'd rather drop the neat alternation.

Undead,. Day 1
Well, I guess I myself am technically undead, but my army is mostly orcs and dogs. There's humans nearby though, so maybe I'll just rule them. I'm sure I can find some magic to turn them into undead eventually. I sent a wolf scout to claim a tower before regrouping for an assault on a local farm. My loyal forces routed the human militia there and I was proud to see my Black Flag Rise Above the local mill. Tomorrow we set our sights on a human village to serve as a starting base for the establishment of my new kingdom.

I may have a restart, sorry everyone. And sorry Arnuz, I accidentally opened your turn.
I don't know if this is a bug with the MPE mod, but when I finished my turn and it asked me to save it, I saved it in the Email Out folder like normal, but when I went to attach the file to my email to Arnuz, it wasn't there. I assumed that the original file in my downloads folder would have been overwritten as well, so I just attached that. But apparently that one is still stuck on my turn, which I've password protected, and Arnuz was unable to open it. I can't actually find the new game file in my Email Out folder in Windows, even when I view Hidden Files. But when I open the game and load from Email Out, its right there, clear as day. I open that file and its Arnuz's turn (which I quickly closed, sorry Arnuz). So I opened the file in my Downloads folder, which gave me the cheater warning, but just took me to the screen asking if I wanted to manually or automatically forward the turn on to the next player. So I didn't actually get a chance to replay my turn. I tried saving it to Email Out a couple times, still same problem. The game can find it, but neither gmail nor Windows can. So I tried saving it to my desktop and that seemed to work. I was able to find the file there, and I attached it in an email to Arnuz. So hopefully that works. Sorry about all this guys, never had this problem of phantom save files before. I can only assume its something to do with the MPE mod since this is my first game using it.

Odd, I can see my EmailOut files. Maybe you didn't have the windows explorer wind set to show all files, so it was only showing a given type?
