Our very own W8aminute and me played a complete Civ III Conquests game last year.  He and I were both dedicated to making sure turns were there, one a day, for several months.  I prefer the human interaction of MP online with VOIP or a face to face game though.

I had to give up playing PBEM - was taking up too much time and it was starting to become a chore instead of something I wanted to do.  Of course, maybe playing over 100 games PBEM over the years had something to do with it.

I've always limited my PBEM or online time.  Having a lot of games going on doesn't seem to add much to the fun level and I find it is best
to play with people who will let you out of a long, long downward losing spiral and move on to something else to beat you more quickly.

That was a good time indeed.  I had a couple of Advanced Tactics 2 games going on as well, one of which had Keunert in it.  This year the only PBEM games I have going on are the two with Martok, Shelldrake, and OJSDAD in Armada 2526.  I so much want to play against other humans and I agree that they offer a much more fun challenge than the computer ai does.

My only problem right now it time.  Right now work and family take up a lot of my time.  That and my sudden insatiable and wanton appetite for console gaming that is totally destroying my soul and killing my life.
