How does the PBEM work?

One makes his turn. When he presses "END Turn" button the game offers to make a save. As result you have a save file. This file the person sends to the next player, the sequence is equal to the Houses pictures order (Li-Halan first, then Hazat, ... etc.). Next player does his turn, saves the game, and so on. Until the house before yours makes his turn and sends you his save. Then the cycle repeats.
Any questions...

[Vice]

yes
what about srcurity?
sould i use that or is it not nessecary

[Vice]

ok i know im computer illiterate but how would i send the save file to some1 else, exactly?

[cy387_lk]

Yes. Better do it, otherwise the player before you could load your turn and see all your "secret strategic" stuff. The security system in reality is just a password for each player.

Do you know how to use a common e-mail?

Well... Of course you should know the e-mail of the player after you...

[Vice]

ah i see humans r untrustworthy.

[Vice]

now hypothetically if i didnt know how to do that...?

[cy387_lk]

You're welcome ...

[Vice]

[cy387_lk]

Ok... BTW do you know the meaning of the word "flood"... That's exactly what we just have done.

Vice,
Not much point playing PBEM with just 1 player, though you can play with less than 5 and have the AI take over the other slots.

If you'd like to get a game organised head over to the Opponents wanted forum and post there.

Edit: Ah, I see you already found that forum

BTW there's an edit post button you can use at the top of every one of your messages. Use that instead of posting twice in a row - it's much cleaner.
