How to PBEM?

[con20or]

How do we PBEM successfully? It might be useful to have a sticky here for players. I have found what I thought is a useful guide online on AGEOD forums but it seems that the player who resolves the turn gets to see all the outcomes whereas the other player sees nothing.

How to avoid this? Joint hosting as referred to further down that post is not clear to me.

Thanks in advance.

You are refering to the third post, by Durk. I would call that 'Ping Pong hosting', he basically gives you the advice of having each player hosts one turn, then pass all files to the second player, that will be the host for the new turn.
You still have one turn 'blind' and one turn where you see the moves unfold.

It is also said that the messages logs are your friend, to understand what happened.
