I'm not sure what number three is exactly, I really have only ever played text sims, but your main online competitor has their system set up on a server. I would play OOTP online in this manner and would love to see a system of this nature designed for this game.

The problem with OOTP with its current online league setup is the cheating that occurs when a person runs the sims and which we all know exists.

Have the games run on a server and find a way to have commissioner duties for those that love to be in that role. Even if a person still needed the game installed on a computer it would be great if they could go to a server and download the file from there. Have that league file run like clockwork from the server. Or don't.

I will play OOTP solo in the winter but when the spring hits, I head over to the competition's game for online play. They sim 4 games a day and even have a function now where a person can watch the play unfold with short play by play text. This would get my vote.

I think #1 and #2 are a waste of your time.
