Thanks for the tip rizzy.
I'll try it.
Got any tips for IM accounts?
From what i understand i will need an account before i can use something like pidgin.

Yeah, you need an account at one of the IM providers before you use pidgin. Then you put in the account details in pidgin settings and it will use that account.

I used IRC,and contacted Rizzy at:

Code:
#oap on irc.quakenet.org
I'd suggest this as a means of communicating to set up games.
Is this ok with you both?

The other problem i have thought of is times.
I assume we all live in different countries?
So different timezones will come into effect.
Anyone got a preferred day or time?

Let me know what you think.

My current time zone is UTC/GMT +3 hours EEST - Eastern European Summer Time.

I have xchat installed so I will be on once in a while. I'm currently playing another game, but if I get bored I'll be on there.
