This looks like fun. Sucks that you have to have a Paypal account. What about international players - do they get mail delivery also?

Paypal is preferred, but not necessary, there is an address where you can send a $5.00 check/money order on the website.

Also: If there is a postal outlet in your area, the game exists.

Converting South African Rand into (5) US dollars and sending it to an American postal account (hoping it doesn't get stolen in the process) is unfortunately not worth the while.

Perhaps you could suggest a payment method, and we could implement it. We've had a good amount of people sign-up from SA today.

Maybe you'd be willing to accept the foreign currency, and exchange it on your end?

Or, hell. $5 isn't that much - you could actually incorporate the physical foreign currency into the game.

You can send a check in your own currency, I can exchange it here.

Just get a paypal account. Or send/transfer me R40 and i'll transfer it via paypal if you are willing to trust me. :)
