What benefit do I have for signing in?

If the game saves state, so I can login again later, then I'd prefer to start playing without signing in at all. Then, when I'm ready to leave, if I want to save, then I'll give you some identifier. At this point, the identifier doesn't matter much because I've decided I want to give you something.

I second this notion. Personally, I'm for neither, but if you can present a compelling case for an e-mail address (like rare updates on new content, etc...) I might turn over my e-mail address... otherwise you're getting a Mailinator e-mail account.
