Save Game Comments

[Panzer32]

Post stuff like "that was a short turn", "Latin Lover's been holding the save for 25 hours!!", and ":spam:" here ;)

[Master Zen]

How dare you insult Latin efficiency, punctuality, and order! :lol: :lol:

[BigFree]

I think he just knew you were on the team and thought that it was expected from you! I'm not sure about the "short turn" comment, that's NOT in MZ's repertoire. :p

[Beta]

Dear Team Monty Python - 'bring out your dead! bring out your dead!'

Actually - please make sure the save goes to our second and third players as well:

The second and third players for Team Monkey are:

Hot_Enamel

email is "name" @optusnet.com.au

Beta

email is brucehynes57atatatatatatatrogersdotdotdotcom


Muchos gracias.

Do the monkey's not know how to operate a PC (yet). :hmmmm:

C'mmon...Commoooonn...commoon hurry up!!! Gimme the lines, it's a almost a sunday for christ's sake!!

[BigFree]

Ming, can you top this thread? Thanks :)

[BigFree]

Team Monkey: I liked 'Zoo' better. :)

[Konquest02]

Don't worry, we'll have a zoo pretty soon. And it might display some humans! ;) :P

--Kon--

[BigFree]

Alva: For the general lurker, it is better to post what team the save was sent to rather than the person. :)

[Niessuh]

:b: You are right... I still do not know you well, your women have spoken little of you to me ;)

[alva]

Np, BF, To be honest I intented too, but I always type tabbenanumo wrong ;)

[Kloreep]

I haven't received any Tabemono saves, and Zargon's gone for the weekend, so I may need to play the Tabemono turn; so, CoD please be sure to also send the save to ben TA surveypoint TOD com

Thanks. :)

[FrustratedPoet]

Ah, my bad there Kloreep- I should have seen this thread sooner.

3800bc save sent to Zargon yesterday and to Kloreep about 1 minute ago. :)

[BigFree]

Kloreep should have sent a PM or an email. You cannot count on people reading this thread.

If anyone has any issues with where should go, please send a PM AND an email to all interested parties. Thanks. :)

Thanks. :) No problem, and I really should have PMed/posted/something about it before now.

One problem... I don't have the password. Good thing Zargon's only gone for the weekend. I apologize for Tabemono holding the game up; unfortunately, there's nothing I can do now. :(

[mrmitchell]

Tried guessing it any?

EDIT If anyone has any issues with where should go, please send a PM AND an email to all interested parties. Thanks

Administratormaaaaaaan.....TO THE RESCUE!

[Panzer32]

If we have any kind of these issues again, remember that I have the administrator password, and can set a new pswd for the team and play their turn.

I won't bother this time b/c the weekend's almost over (except in Canada ;))

[Wooglin]

Tues mornin'. Where be the save?

[ZargonX]

Sorry about the delay, everyone. That's what I get for keeping my super-secret passwords super-secret...

[Octavian X]

You guys could've asked me. I know what it is. :p

Either way, the forums say that Sunshine sent the game to Monty Python, but my e-mail box suggests otherwise. Some on Sunshine, make sure the save game is getting to thesim10987 (at) msn (dot) com.

[BigFree]

That's exactly where it was sent. And to dejon too at: dejon (at) rogers (dot) com

[Octavian X]

One more comment: Does anyone else think we should get this thread and the Save Game thread itself topped?

[Beta]

Yes. Agreed.

In the meantime - the Monkeys just received the turn, and the e-mail, but no save. Please re-send. Thanks.

[Master Zen]

:zzz: :zzz:

[bongo]

You are of course aware of the fact that outlook and outlook express may block file-attachements of certain types? Just found out that for some reason .SAV files were blocked on my home computer but not on my work comp. Go figure :hmmm:

Just a thought.

[BigFree]

bongo, most of these people have played plenty of PBEM's by now, they better have been prepared for this.

I know for a fact that Beta has no such problems. :)

[bongo]

I was just suggesting an alternative to 'b****** has forgot to include the save' :p


BTW, 'most' does not include me. I have never played PBEM before so I was just a little puzzled when .sav files were blocked at my home comp.

Edit: Blamed the wrong person :o

Latin Lover's been holding the save for less than a hour! :p

[Niessuh]

EDIT: DP :idiot:

[ZargonX]

An apology in advance: With this weekend being the July 4th holiday in the U.S., turn play may slow down a bit.

[Niessuh]

Try not to eat too much ;)

[mrmitchell]

Don't worry, we will ;)

[BigFree]

By the way I ate on the 4th I consider myself an honorary member of Tabemono for one day!

[Rhothaerill]

Welcome to the other side. :D

[mrmitchell]

Welcome! Oh, uh, no, that DOESN'T say anything about Sunshine--just leave it aside...seriously!

EDIT: Here, have some wine. Have some more wine. No, you're not drunk...how many fingers am I holding up? Er...uh...yeah, it's 2. Have some more wine. (whisper to Rhoth) He saw too much, get the cart ready. (/whisper)

:D j/k

[BigFree]

Hmm, the turns been with the Pastry or Rigormortis Team for almost 24 hours...

I hope there are not problems. :( Can Team Sunshine be of assistance? http://www.spacespider.net/emo/grin10.gif

Too much cake. They just don't have the capacity we eating machines at Tabemono have. :D

[Arrian]

Hmm, odd, FP seemed to have the turn dealt with some time ago. It hasn't been sent on?

-Arrian

[Kloreep]

I haven't received it.

[FrustratedPoet]

Sent again

Team Monkey thinks the Monty Pythons are smoking way too many elderberries.


The wrong file has been sent to us (3500bc)

Apologies for the delay. This is happening because Octavian is busy, and Sir Ralph has not been emailed the save the last two turns (which I did not realize). I have sent an email to the Sunshine email addresses notifying them.

[Niessuh]

We have the sav, but we are stopped by a question that needs a voting. We will send it in 3 hours counting from this post.

[FrustratedPoet]

That big a decision this early? Wow. Have you guys got a GL or something? ;)

[Niessuh]

sent already.

Yes, we have a GL :)













:confused: What's a GL? :confused:

[FrustratedPoet]

What's a GL?

Great Leader

(or Great Lighthouse or Great Library ... too many damn GL's in this game)

[Niessuh]

Ah, not yet, soon we will have one of each, pronto :D

[Hot_Enamel]

Team Monkey still waiting for Monty to send the save along again ?

Perhaps attached the save with the email this time ?

:D

[Octavian X]

Bah - I'm sure you monkeys could make your own save out of poo or something... :p

[Master Zen]

btw, sorry for not posting I sent it last turn, but I played the save pretty late at night and when I posted in the save game thread, Poly unsurprisingly crashed on me... :cute:

[Arnelos]

The save game thread has fallen off the front page it's been so long since the save moved :p

Am I correct in assuming that Cake or Death has had the save for over 24 hours now?

[Wooglin]

It seems that other events may have taken priority over this game.

--Woog

[Niessuh]

Hey warmongers, remember this game! ;)

[Arnelos]

Does Sunshine still have it or did they just forget to post to the save game thread?

[BigFree]

ruby_maser is the current leader of Sunshine; but since he has not been around the last day or two, I played it and sent it onwards.

[Kloreep]

Wow, was that a ~5 minute turn? :eek:

Go Python! :b:

[ZargonX]

I am having some email problems at the moment, so could whoever sends saves to Tabemono please send my save to:

jhaddock (a t) comcast (d o t) net

Thanks :)

[FrustratedPoet]

noted.

[ZargonX]

Hey Cake or Death; please start sending turns back to my original address, now :) jhaddock (a t) crunchable (d o t) net

[Arrian]

I posted your request in our forum, Zargon.

-Arrian

[FrustratedPoet]

OK Zargon.

[Hot Mustard]

WhiteBandit - you sent the 2900BC save (not 2850). Also, please sent to all emails for Monty:
dejon (at) rogers (dot) com
thesim10987 (at) msn (dot) com
sirralph (at) gmx (dot) com

Thanks!

[WhiteBandit]

Right save sent this time.

Also, I actually sent the (wrong) save, to all those email addresses. I'm away from home at the moment though, so I was using some SMTP server on my computer and it sent the email to each of those addresses individually. Weird. :-/

In anycase, you should have the right save now.

[Konquest02]

Anybody from Python here...?

[FrustratedPoet]

FP: All right then, if they've got the save then I'll wake them up! (shouting into his PC speakers) 'Ello, Mister Monty Python Team! I've got a lovely fresh [+1] for you if you pass on the turn...

(dejon spams the Monkeys)

dejon: There, I sent it!

FP: No, you didn't, that was just you sending them some spam!

dejon: I never!!

FP: Yes, you did!

dejon: I never, I sent the turn honest...

[Kloreep]

FP/CoD: Aggie is replacing me as a turnplayer. His address is jpmiller at REMOVESPAM dot com (replace "REMOVESPAM" with "ktc").

[FrustratedPoet]

OK, change made.

[Harovan]

Am I supposed to have the save?

If so, I regret to inform you, that I didn't get it. Since I'm an active PBEM player and processed dozens of turns during the time I wait here, I doubt that the failure is at my side.

[FrustratedPoet]

(Off-Topic) Do you have PTW installed at work SR? You're certainly the fastest PBEM player I've seen and that's the only way I can imagine you managing it.

[Harovan]

Of course not. Sometimes I succeed to play a turn in my lunch break, if I eat at home, as I often do.

[Octavian X]

I did have a save game, but it was deleted. A resend would be nice, as I've been gone for a few days...

[bongo]

Would it be possible to proceed with the game please? This is not PTWGD1 where there actually ARE important decisions to make :rant:

Small note to the hippies: Judging by other posts you have already sent the save to the Morony Pythons(Which sense of humour I respect) Appearantly they can't hold on to an un-opened e-mail so please resend the save to ALL MP members, in triplicate.


Most Intelligent and Handsome Bongo, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mohammed al-Sahaf Team.

Would it be possible to proceed with the game please?

[Harovan]

No

[Hot_Enamel]

Imagine what would happen if there was a world war !!

1 turn per month ??

[Hot Mustard]

Holy Stalled DG! :eek:

I have FW'd the last save email that WB sent us to Oct and SR. (The one that Oct deleted and SR apparently didn't get.)

[Arrian]

:dance:

Let's get moving, then!

-Arrian

[Harovan]

This time I got it.

2850BC to Monkey.

[Zcylen]

thanks god!
we're on business again! :D

[ZargonX]

What's the hold up!?!? Who has the save!?!?!

[WhiteBandit]

I do. I've had an extremely hectic schedule the past few days as I've been on vacation and just got back. Will play soon.

[Octavian X]

To make up the missing save game debacle, we've sent the game on in less than fifteen minutes.

Don't I get a medal now? :p

[bongo]

Of course you do. I hereby declare that Octavian X from now on shall be entitled Sir Octavian X, Knight of the Empty Bucket.

Bongo, Minister of Peace Love and Understanding, Mohammed al-Sahaf Team.

Actually I was saving that title for myself as I didn't get seasick on my trip to the Faeroe Islands a couple of weeks ago. It's yours now(the title, not the Faeroes)

[vulture]

What the heck, let's give him the Faeroes too...

Me too! :eager: :bounce:

[Harovan]

Since I didn't get the 2800BC save from WhiteBandit again, I had a deep look in the SPAM filter of my mail account, and behold, there was it. It's fixed now, I moved his address to my white list.

[BigFree]

WB's computer took a major hit. He asked me to play the save. I'm not sure when he will be able to play it again. This is just a FYI.

[ZargonX]

So, is someone going to pass along the save anytime soon?

[Arrian]

I apologize on behalf of C or D. FP doesn't seem to have been around to play, and though I PM'd the other members who get the save, it hasn't gotten played yet (I don't get the save).

If it hasn't been played in the next couple of hours, please resend it to:

mishlea /AT/ msn /DOT/ com

(does that really confuse the spammers?)

and I'll play it.

-Arrian

[Niessuh]

Done :b: My computer is packed due to a move, so i have replayed the turn exactly the same

[Arrian]

Thanks. Received, played, and passed on to Tabemono.

-Arrian

[Konquest02]

The save did not make it to my inbox... Please try again...

[BigFree]

Did you PM or email the intersested parties?

[Arrian]

nm

[E_T]

Please send the save to my new e-mail address, royparrishATearthlinkDOTnet. I know that I was on thew list for the save, even though I'm busy with other things, it's still good to have it in my e-mail box.

E_T of Sunshinia, land of Light....

[Beta]

OK Sunshine. That's 16 hours! :q: What gives?

"ooh ooh. We were trying to decide on the forecast. Was it going to be sunny and partly cloudy, or just sunny. We didn't mean to upset anyone. We were just trying to be nice. We had the best of intentions."

As my mother once told me - the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Play the turn!:doitnow!:

my emails have been bouncing back for a while now

[Beta]

WB - great post in the save game thread! :lol:

(and btw - I'm sorry if my note above seems gruff - reading it today I even miss my intended humour. :) )

[OPD]

lol if anything it wasn't "gruff" enough.

[Arrian]

Important Question:

If I played CoD's turn before last (Turn 27) on a computer that, um, didn't have the newest PTW patch installed (still running 1.21 instead of 1.27), would that screw up this game in any way?

-Arrian

[Panzer32]

1.21 and 1.27 are apparently compatable. I haven't upgraded and I play in PBEMs that some people probably have.

[OPD]

Yeah that's been confirmed by a few people :b:

[bongo]

Are you sure? I just set up a PBEM game using 1.27 and the next player couldn't load it on his 1.21....Maybe it works the other way, if you set it up with 1.21 you can use it with 1.27...

[Arrian]

Well I've downloaded 1.27 now, so if I have to play any more turns I'm up to date.

-Arrian

[FrustratedPoet]

Is there a version of 1.27 for the UK version?

[bongo]

Yes, just look in the download section either here or at atari(infogrames)

[Panzer32]

I didn't get the save from Sunshine, Monty Python, or Monkey this turn around. (& I know hotmail wasn't full b/c I got LL's CC)

[Arrian]

/me must remember to include Panzer when he sends out CoD's turn tonight

Fear not, it's posted in our forum.

-Arrian

[Konquest02]

Please include our newest member, conmcb25 in your mailing list for sending out the turns.

conmcb25NOSPAM@ bluemarble.net

Remove the nospam part of course...!

--Kon--

[Panzer32]

Again I did not receive Sunshine, Python, or Monkey's sends.

[Hot_Enamel]

** Hot_Enamel slaps Konquest02 with a large trout ***

[bongo]

Trout-slapping is illegal. Unless you have a permit and it is in the season.

[Rhothaerill]

Will the turnplayers of Cake or Death please add to the list for sending the savegame:

Rhothaerill: rhothaerill AT comcast DOT net
Sharpe: sarnott AT mountaincable DOT net

Thanks. :)

EDIT: A PM has also been sent to Frustrated Poet and Arrian.

[Konquest02]

Ouch... Sorry about that. I added panzer to my mailing list.

hi ,

agreed , we should finish what we started :cool:

have a nice day :viking:

[Panzer32]

its been 24 hours and I would play the turn but Zargon didn't include me in the save recipient pile :(

[Panzer32]

actually looking in the private forums its already been sent by MAST to SS. They didn't bother to post in the threads OR send to me... :rolleyes:

[OPD]

MAST are too cool to post in the save game thread :cool:

and I did send the save to you if you didn't get it perhaps I have the wrong addy for you? did you get all the other ones?

[Panzer32]

I have been getting them from MAST regularly. I got an apparent resend about 8 minutes after you posted here... looking at the inbox I guess I did receive the original send.

However, I don't have Tabemono's save just send it next time ok.

[HarryH]

1650 BC sent to Python

[ZargonX]

However, I don't have Tabemono's save just send it next time ok.


Sorry Panzer; I was screwing around with my addy book and you got bumped off the MAST list ;)

Yes, it makes my 36 minutes look positively snail-like. ;)

[Cort Haus]

Well. I'm not going to try and compete with SR - I may have slipped on some MM in haste last turn, so if CoD haven't launched their Space Ship within the next ten turns, we'll know why :D

No, Beta, that's Micro-Management, not Monkey-Mess :lol:

[Cort Haus]

btw folks, Conquests is delayed in the UK for another week. This is to penalise the English for their new beefed-up civ traits. We'll be forever behind the rest of the world in our strats...

Yup, no save from Arrian :(

Any idea when the next turn will come back to Sunshine? It looks like "Those Guys" have had it for a while. No hurry. Just trying to plan my day.

[The Slayer]

Mmm... for these cases we have an Inquisitor... Panzer! :doitnow!: :scared:

[bongo]

I think OPD will play it when he gets home from work.

[Cort Haus]

My ISP's mail server is not playing ball at the moment. If it doesn't return in a few hours we can try an alternative - perhaps a 'poly download or something.

[Cort Haus]

Link to the save is on the Save Game thread

[HarryH]

Just received another 1500 BC save from MAST. We need 1475 BC.

[OPD]

it's the right one just wrong file name, it was 1500bc when we played it etc etc...................... open the save and you'll see

[HarryH]

I must have opened the wrong one. I will check again after work.

[HarryH]

OPD said the save is to Sunshine. I have not received the save. Please send it.

[bongo]

:hmmm: tried to replay the save according to OPD's turn report but failed. You have to wait until OPD reads this and resend the save.

BTW, has anyone but me experienced long delays(up to 12 hours) in email delivery the last couple of weeks?

[OPD]

resent

Appologies for the delay, I think it was my fault.

[HarryH]

I am having a problem with loading the 1350 BC turn sent to me. When I do a Load Game the progress bar comes up and reaches 2% then I get a dialog that says:

Scenario Invalid!

Could not open scenario file. The file may be corrupt!

[ZargonX]

Did someone play it in Conquests?

[bongo]

Yeah, I did. Sorry :o

Will never do it again, now that I know that it doesn't work.

It's official MaST policy to try the c3c cd every turn. :p

[HarryH]

I am having a problem playing the 1325 BC turn so I posted info in our forum with instructions for someone else to play the turn if they are successful in loading the save. I have not been able to load with 1325 BC save I received from MAST. I have a couple of other saves on my laptop, such as the 1400 BC we received, and they load fine. I don't know why the 1325 BC save would be a problem. Panzer says he can load it. I am curious if anyone else on my team is successful.

[HarryH]

So Togas was able to play the save. I was at my finacee's house this weekend and did the download using web mail to my laptop. When I got home I put that save file onto my desktop and it could not play it either. Then I downloaded all my mail using Outlook Express to my desktop like I normally do. When I extracted the save from OE I was able to play it on my desktop. The sizes of the OE extracted save and the Web Mail extracted save are different. I don't know why. I have played turns at my fiancee's house before.

[HarryH]

I played 1150 BC this morning but forgot to send the save. :( My apologies. I will send it when I get home from work.

H_E - 34 minutes for that last turn by Monkey. :b: Well done fellow ape!

[Niessuh]

The usual players of the LL team are going to be absent during these dates. Could the monkey team add mmc65 to their savegame list? Thank You

mmcanto AT teleline DOT es

merry christmas and enjoy with your women (while you can) ;)

[Sharpe]

Due to the Christmas holiday (and the fact that I haven't seen many other Tabemonos around today), I think that Tabemono will need additional time to complete their 1100bc turn.

Please waive the 24 hour inquistion rule - though we will try to get it done as soon as we can.

Thanks and Merry Christmas!

[Harovan]

/me wonders, if we get the save back before I forget my teams password.

Looks like a tight race.

[Cort Haus]

OPD, who's the Biggles dude with the gun-barrel sticking out of his lower lip?

[bongo]

Looks more like a cigar to me
(another way of saying that I don't know he is either)

We're actually down to 3 digits on the year number now :D

975BC, We saw it first :p

I am too lazy to look it up..

But I am sure it's the crazy helecopter dude in Mad Max
An Australian actor.

[OPD]

:lol: only a true englishman would refer to him as "Biggles" looking.

It's the Gyro captain from the MadMax films. I've seen the films dozens of times and the character has grown on me. Thunderdome is my favourite although most people I speak to seem to like the first one the most.
Apparently though the actor, Bruce Spence, plays some form of Sauron in the ROFTK EE.

[Arrian]

The Mouth of Sauron? Excellent, if true.

-Arrian

[OPD]

Yeah that it. Apparently he appears at the battle and shows the clothes of Frodo suggesting him to be dead. eading to the charge "for Frodo"

[bongo]

To those well-fed guys: I recieved the save this morning but due to some mishap I'm unable to get to it. I don't know if the mail itself is screwed up, or if the error is on my end.

Haven't heard from my team-mates yet so I don't know if they've got the same problem.

Please resend

[ZargonX]

Resent

[Cort Haus]

LL, or you sure that save was sent? It usually arrives before the message on the turn thread.

[Magno_uy]

this is for those monkeys: please can you include me in the send list to the LL? my email is
arinaldi(somewherein)montevideo(dot)com(dot)uy

thanks,
LL Magno

[Cort Haus]

LL, it's been an hour and still no sign of the save. Could the pigeon have dropped it in the sea on the way over?

[Cort Haus]

Got it now, thanks.

[Magno_uy]

please monkeys.. leave that banana for a second a tell me if you had take my email...

[Hot_Enamel]

I will post it in our forum and let every one know

[Cort Haus]

re: wrong file sent to Tabemono :

OK - I think I can get it replayed & sent earlier than 6:30 EST.

[Arrian]

Sorry about that, everyone.

-Arrian the absentminded.

[bongo]

This turn may take a while. Big decision time.

I'll get back to you.

[Hot_Enamel]

While sitting high on top of the tree canopy, team monkey notices smoke from a far and distant land, beyond the great ocean that we dare not travel.

Could it be a bush fire ?
Or could it be war ? Perhaps two human barbarian tribes fighting for dominance.


Kiwi Fruit anyone ??

[bongo]

We discovered sliced bread(tm) some time ago and we have just completed our first actual bread. We are currently discussing wether to start slicing it from the left or right end. Such an important decision cannot be made unless all members have their say.

[Cort Haus]

:lol:

[Hot_Enamel]

Ahhh..

The smoke is from your ovens then.

:D

[Sharpe]

Tabemono should be done the turn tonight - sorry for the delay , but several of our members were unavailable due to committments re Valentines no doubt :) - the failure to heed the wishes of their SOs would undoubtedly lead to a brief though painful hospital stay .... or worse ;)

[Harovan]

I got the turn, but since this is the last turn I play (retiring from office and from demogaming as a whole), it will last a bit longer than usual, for I will leave a few recommendations for my successor, what may take some time. I will play this evening (~12 hours from now). Thanks for patience.

:( Sorry to see you go SR. Take care. Trust you will still be around Poly.

[Cort Haus]

Belated congrats to Tabemono from 3 turns ago, btw. Nice Wonder! :b:

[ZargonX]

Belated congrats to Tabemono from 3 turns ago, btw. Nice Wonder!

Well, we had to have somewhere to store all the food, didn't we? ;)

[Arrian]

Makes perfect sense. It does amuse me that it took CoD three turns to notice it, though. :lol:

We're off in obscure comedy land.

-Arrian

[Sharpe]

Store food? How can that be - I thought we ate it too quickly to store it. So we were planning on using it as an extra large dining hall...? ;)

[Octavian X]

I've always wondered how you could store food in those things in the first place...

[Kloreep]

I think it probably is more of a Dining Hall... it's more efficient to feed larger groups after all. :)

How can we not know, you ask? Well, it's the strangest thing... entering the Great Pyramids is like blacking out. One moment you're stepping in, the next moment you're stepping out feeling stuffed; no one has yet remembered anything of what goes on inside the Pyramids. Even the construction workers who built the darn things can't tell us what they do. Perhaps they're inhabited by the legendary sorceror-chefs...

[Kloreep]

Congratulations to Sunshine for building The Colossus. :)

[Octavian X]

'Tis fitting that such a team emphasizing bring light to the world build such a magnificent wonder. Well done. :b:

[HarryH]

Thank you both. We felt such a large shiney object would be an appropriate inspriation to our people.

[Hot_Enamel]

Quick vote on if we should make Panzer play Pythons turn.


All the Monkeys raise their hands and in chorus, shout ...."yea"

:D

[Octavian X]

:p

Sorry for the delay; I felt extra discussion time was needed in reponse to a sudden development.

[Octavian X]

I'm getting a message from PTW telling me that the save from Sunshine is invalid. Care to resend?

[Hot_Enamel]

Shall we get Panzer to replay Sunshine ?

:bored:

[Arrian]

Hello, Sunshine?

I do hope someone has thought to PM some SS members about this.

-Arrian

[HarryH]

PTW on my computer loads the save I sent just fine. I had this problem a few months back where PTW would not load a save that others said was fine. After downloading three or four times it finally worked. I figured it was some network or ISP glitch.

I replayed and sent both the orginal save and a second one. Hopefully you can get one of them to work.

Sorry for the delay. I was out of town picking up keys to my new house.

[Harovan]

Since to this point there haven't been any problems and Octavian X has fully taken over control as player for our team, there is no point for me to receive the savegame anymore. Would Sunshine please remove me from their distribution list? Thank you! :b:

[Octavian X]

And, HarryH, I did sucessfully get a save game. Thanks. :)

[Solomwi]

Since I'm taking over as Not-So-Supreme Clipboard-Holding Sort-Of-Grand-But-Really-Kind-Of-Mediocre Ruler of Python for Octavian's temporary absence, could Sunshine please send me the save. E-mail is the same username as here at 'Poly, at aol.com.

Thanks.

[OPD]

So why does this game go so slow these days :(

[ZargonX]

Tabemono is playing the save now. sorry, one of our turn players has been away, and I've been busy this weekend thus far...

[OPD]

I dunno I think there's more too it than that, maybe there's a war on somewhere that no-ones telling us about????

[Beta]

The Monkey turn may be delayed. We have to discuss a game mechanics issue with Monty Python.

[Cort Haus]

LL, I didn't recieve the save - don't know if my team-mates got it ...

[Magno_uy]

ops. sorry...

resended to you...

[Cort Haus]

OK, got it now, thanks :)

[Hot_Enamel]

:zzz:

[OPD]

Yeah come on slow play is killing this game, just play the damn save already :doitnow!:

[Beta]

:zzz:

[Hot_Enamel]

Play the turn for them Panzer :doitnow!:

Skip their turn and disband half their cities :naughty:

[Jon Shafer]

:zzz:!

[Octavian X]

You people have no patience. I'm sorry for being a devout Catholic and observing the proper Masses through Holy Week. :p

But, that's no excuse. Save is about to be sent to Monkey, with a nice little Easter suprise attached.

[OPD]

That's not good enough, you weren't at church for last 84 hours and if you can't play the save you should get someone else to do it.

[Cort Haus]

Latinos! I haven't received the save. Can you check it has been correctly sent, please. Thanks.

[Cort Haus]

Please Latin Lover, would you reinstate me on the save recipients - jokerworld {AT} blueyonder {DOT} {CO} {DOT} {UK}

Thanks

[Cort Haus]

I got this turn OK - thanks, LL :) :bounce:

[HarryH]

I tried sending the 210 BC save to Python a few times. I was getting an error with OctavianX's address. I removed him from the message and sent it. Let me know if there are any problems with receiving it.

[HarryH]

I just received a persistent failure - delivery time expired - bounce for Panzer. That still leaves Darekill, Dejon, and Solomwi. Hopefully one of them received it... and has opened it.

[Hot_Enamel]

Upload it into your Apolyton account.

Then paste a link to it here.

[Octavian X]

Unfortunately, I'm unsure if those members of our team are still active. HarryH, would you mind trying a resend to either my current address or....

sthomecz @at@ coin dot.dot org
or
octavianx @at@ xmsg dot.dot com

Again, my apoligies. Thanks.

[Solomwi]

I got it, but was unaware of a problem with Octavian's account. It seems as if things are solved, but let me know otherwise.

[HarryH]

I re-sent it to OctavianX's account. No failure this time.

[Cort Haus]

Ahem ....

What the he11 is going on ???

[Beta]

Has anyone PM'd or e-mailed the members of the team?

[OPD]

I've emailed everyone on the distribution list, I couldn't resend teh save as I didn't play it.

[bongo]

I did, here's the save in case any SS members read this.

:hmmm:

[Wooglin]

It seems that no one received the save but HarryH who is out of town until tomorrow. I'll inform active members of the team that the save is posted.

--Woog

[bongo]

I sent it to four accounts, only E_Ts failed with a notification. In any case, when I say the save is posted and noone recieves it, please let me know a bit earlier so I can resend it.

[Jon Shafer]

I didn't get the save in the mail.

But I will download the one in this thread.

I will play the turn either tonight or tomorrow depending on how busy I am tonight.
