This thread is meant for the team players. When they've played their latest turn, they should zip the turn, post here and attach the file to their post. When they have attached their latest turn, they should also delete the attachment in their previous post, containing their previous turn. This to prevent overloading the Poly server.
Did I forget anything?
Please top this thread and please don't spam here.

It's Ultimate zip. not winzip, if that makes any difference (I can download and save it to a folder, then unzip it)
Here it is unzipped (file isn't very big right now, obviously)

I take it you'll PM all the team leaders the passwords?

Already has. If he's got you're email

We can always start a new thread, but I have one last question if you will forgive me... are team leaders allowed to give out the passwords of the save so other members of the team can look at it?

I presume so. I intend to, unless told otherwise.

If I said that was going to be the last question, I lied. How long do we have until we need to submit the turn? Since right now I'm on the presumption that its a tight schedule and so am rushing.

Well, 24 hours was what we had said. If it takes longer, it takes longer. Currently, I don't have an SMAC disk, but I have an SMAX disk, and SMAC installed. I have just bought a new SMAC disk, which should we with me inside 48 hours, and can play as soon as I have that. But with you and the University to go, it shouldn't be a problem.

i imagine we could allow for a little bit more time on the first turn for teams to get things sorted out. 24 hours is a bit quick seeing as not all team members are even authorised yet
Very true, especially since we may need polls (though not the Hive) Bit as soon as it's going well, 24 hours should be plenty. I know I come on every day

My Macness seems to be disallowing me to read the turn...
I can't download it. Herc, or somebody of the Pirates (or anybody for that matter) could e-mail me I'd appreciate it.
I'm not conceited, conceit is a fault and I have no faults...
As always, will play after work. I wonder if I'll ever be able to turn that the other way...
Call me Ismael - no, no, no, that's not me, it must be the rum talking again.
Polly wanna cracker! Awkk! - no, no, no, that's not it either.
Maybe the answer's in this here bottle washing up on the shore. Why don't you'all open it right up and shiver your timbers.

2103 to Hive
The march of the drones have started
Ok, it seems we have a problem here. When I finished the turn, I pressed escape by mistake, and then saved the turn in roder to avoid losing the results of pod pops. However, when I then tried to end the turn, the game claimed that the year was now 2104 and that the Hive were next. As things stand, the only solutions that I can see are to either replay the turn and accept different pod results or else replay the turn until we got the right pod results, both of which would be most annoying, or else hope that googlie can do something about it. Here is the save taken after I'd ended the turn.
EDIT: Turn deleted.

I would say replay your turn. It is so close to the begining, not much could have happened, so it shouldn't take that long, or be that annoying should it? I would just play it once, and act as if you hadn't played it before. It may give you a very small advantage (knowing what you do from playing the turn once before) but it's hardly a big advantage at this stage.
But it's up to Googlie

Hmm - I can't replicate that - when I play the Uni 2103 turn, hit escape and save, when I re-open it it opens right on the save where I left it
And when I open the Hive's 2104 turn that GT attached it's showing 2 replays already for the UoP's 2103 turn.
Some further explanation needed?
But clearly the save you attached is the Hive for 2104 - I'm not sure why a Uni exit would bypass the other factions' turns and jump to the next year - but it obviously has.
Obviously a snafu, so a complete turn replay is in order, replicating the moves and accepting a possible different podpop outcome
Subsequent players will see a "Uni has reloaded 3 times" message, which, if they are satisfied with the explanation for the first 2 reloads, can be ignored
G.
Just a further thought. Can any of GT colleagues play the earlier turn duplicating the moves.
On the ISDG 2012 team at the heart of CiviLIZation
Yes - any Uni member with the password can play the turn normally, and no replay message will appear
Just redo the turn - with or without reload message and lets move on. I mean if the save got corrupted there is really no other option. Just do it using the same moves and repopping the pods - if results are better lucky for you if theż are worse too bad.
Let's get the restarted turn up to date while we're waiting for MarkG.
We'll do it like a regular PBEM - I'll e-mail the passwords to the turnplayer with instructions to send the turn on by e-mail to the next in line, and send the restarted Hive, 2102 to Voltaire
Don't post the passwords in your private forums until MarkG's confirmation.

Hmmm - too late now to think of it, but I guess i could have played everyone's restarted turns myself, as a) I know the passwords and b) I can see the moves already made.
Ah well
Waiting for Voltaire
G.
Well, you might as well, if you've still got the original save...
As we have been stalled for four hours or so, I played the Uni's turn.

Pulled it, as on comparing files I hadn't replicated the Uni's build
So there will be a reload message
