I know several Mystic INTERBBS mods are using an echomail area to send data
to other boards but what's concerning for me is when someone joins in at a later date and the data gets out of sync. Same concern is also expressed
with games as scores may also be out of sync. My other question is what happens when you want to reset a game? Would you have to clear out the echomail area?

I was thinking of creating a common API location for where Phenom InterBBS releases can send and retrieve scores, points from. If an interbbs
tournament game had to be reset, we could just clear out a database table and not worry about messing with other mod data that's also intermingled in the same interbbs echomail area. Just bouncing some ideas and wondering what you guys think about this.

If we were to have multi-platform door games created for different BBS softwares and OSes, it could be a central data repository that all would communicate with making it TRUE interbbs game.

Let me know what you guys think of this idea.

Thanks,

I have thought about the same issue before...

Yes, yes... and definitely YES! It makes 100% sense, +1 from me! :)

FWIW, there are a few distributed systems for housing database like structures with REST APIs. ... could be interesting such that if a node goes away, everything keeps ticking.

That's really why I'd like to do it too. For the reason if a node was to go away. :D

Not that I know of, however some of the interbbs scripts you can get are
fairly well documented, like the interbbs one-liner.
