I really love how you had the guts to put together something like this. If you consider doing anything else like this in the future, maybe create a faster phased online tabletop game style game in an IRC chat.

I'm not sure this really fits in the competition, and I really don't know how to score something like this, so I hate to abstain here, sorry.
Does it take long to respond my mails? How should I start? I sended a mail with "help", other with "report" and im tring with "new ..." now.
Edit: Well, nothing really works for me.
Well this is certainly different. I think the play by e-mail (ironically, since it also seems so simple -- just send e-mail) makes it a larger investment to get into. I think it's ambitious. I'd love to see some kind of (more user friendly) persistent multiplayer game in the future in a LD (a real one, where there's much more participants).
Anyhow, I can't really judge yet since it takes some time to play I reckon, but I'm giving it a go and we'll see by the end of the week.

Some comments after having tried it. I sort of like it. It is pretty neat to get a report and just send off a command and just do that once a day. It would have been nice if the report included the possible commands at the bottom of the mail so it'd be easier to respond with a command. I also would have liked non-html formatted e-mail, because I don't use a client that displays html. Regarding the game, the hire/change production actions seems fine, but perhaps demand could have worked in some other way.
