I was just destroyed in a game of Acquire at For Whom The Web Rocks.

I don’t feel too bad, as it was only my second game. I made the mistake of blowing my resources on the biggest two chains, and did not get an income from smaller ones.

Acquire works quite well in this human-moderated play-by-web format. The game took two and a half months to finish, but it didn’t drag. Unfortunately, one of my moves was input incorrectly, which was annoying. Human-error and time-lag are the biggest problems with manually-moderated PBEM.
