Scenario League Magazine Issue #1 out now!
As was reported in the Apolyton News, the first issue of the Scenario League Magazine is now out and is available at http://sleague.apolyton.net/slm/200209/
It contains the following articles for your entertainment and enlightenment:
Techumseh's Interview of Favoured Flight
Gothmog's roundup of recently released historical and fantasy/science fiction scenarios
Case's guide to spotting and dealing with cheaters
In addition, ANZAC has put out a call for Captain Nemo style units
p.s. There's also a puzzle hidden somewhere in the magazine. The first person to find and solve it will have their name published in the next issue and will win a trip to Hawaii for two
(to be confirmed  )

Things to look out for include:

City and terrain improvements appearing at surprisingly fast rates (keep an eye out for large numbers of players cities suddenly sprouting city walls!)
Newbies with a surprising amount of knowledge about how PBEMs work, and how to do thinks like crack passwords (don’t laugh - this has happened!)

 I must laugh, that newbie, it was me! I wanted to play a PBEM (BTW I didnt start it yet) and so first of all I tried to find out how it works...
BLACKLIST of PBEM Dropouts
 But what have 10 cities in 3800BC and a newbie with a surprising amount of knowledge in common, Case?   Is it bad to know how to drive a car before you sit in?
BTW, it is funny like everybody poses he don't know how to open a 'passworded' game.

The ego has landed
Slowthinker I wasn't talking about you  I was talking about someone doing that on the Apolyton PBEM board.
BTW, for the record I don't know how to crack passwords, and I don't want to know.

Case, I thought you participated in BLACKLIST of PBEM Dropouts.
But it is not a crack, you can discover it by accident.
StLeo, do you want to say you want to be enlightened?

Sure, I participated in that thread/flame war. However, that still doesn't alter the fact that I wasn't refering to you in my article
I'm sorry, but you'll have to find your 15 minutes of fame elsewhere
