Turn reports

Olympia: The Age of Gods PBEM (Oct 4 2000)

### 1.3.5: Turn reports

A turn report will be e-mailed to you shortly after the turn is run. Turn reports usually arrive within an hour.

The Age of Gods can produce turn reports in several different formats. The default is text format. This format can be read by any mail program.

You may also receive your turn in HTML format. This format can be read by many mail programs, particularly Outlook and the mail readers in most web browsers. In this format, your turn contains many useful features such as links between parts of the report, links to the rules, etc.

You can also receive your turn in TAGS format. Tags are XML-like markers in the turn intended to be read and processed by a computer program. You could, for instance, write a program to read this tags and build a database of information automatically. The TAGS format is the same as the TEXT format, with the TAGS embedded.

Finally, you can receive your turn in RAW format. This is format is completely unprocessed and is intended only for people who want to build their own post-processing tools.

For details on the various formats, see Appendix - Output Formats.

Your turn report will also be available over the WWW. To use this facility, you must first set a password. Then you may access your turn reports at:

           http://www.pbm.com/oly/tag/reports/<your faction id>

When you access this, you'll be prompted for a user name and password. You user name is your faction id. If you play multiple TAG games, then your password will correspond to the last game run.
