Additional Comments, Thoughts, Suggestions:

This will hopefully be a fast turnaround game. Perhaps I'm being a little overly optimistic. :) I am limiting turn turnaround to 3 days, including weekends. In other words, if you don't have E-mail access 7 days a week, then this is not the game for you (unless of course if you don't mind going AI). This will be tracked by having each person send out a group E-mail as they send their turn to the next person so that everyone involved will know where the most recent version of the game is and can anticipate how soon they will be able to take their next turn.

This is my first PBEM game, but with the guidelines set out by Bob, I think it will go OK. If we find we need some more, we can always make them up as we go along. If anyone has any suggestions or comments, please send them along. Note that the color preference is on a first-come first-served basis. I will be taking the first turn by default so don't bother picking White. However, if Yellow is still open, then I'll probably switch to that. In any case, I won't even be generating the map until all sides are determined.
