One could just as easily ask, "Why provide a nicely formatted turn report,
when you can process the raw data yourself?" Actually, I'd prefer the raw
data, but that's beside the point -- the point is that the Times is made
available in two fashions: email and Web. It seems redundant. Same goes
for turn reports, though there are extra reasons for Web-based turn reports
(such as when my allies are a bit slow in forwarding email, and I really
want to know how an activity turned out).

So, Rich, how about a "rawdata 0|1" for the player unit? =) It'd be a bit
easier than parsing the turn reports (though the code I've got for that is
mostly functional now -- just some difficulties here and there).
