Beyond the Pit [Pitboss Diplomacy Game] [Organization Thread IV]

[Pitboss H Roman]

Just thinking of some thing here. Do you need to have a membership of a certain status to make the picture attachments work? Thus the reason our diplo memberships can't post. I know the Khmer had problems as well. Ozzy - try posting with a Diplo-Metal log in.

[Pitboss H Roman]

Ok - just successfully posted an attachment using my regular Poly log-in in an un-related and old demo game thread. Re-trying here with my diplo game log in.


Every upload I tried failed. What gives?

[Pitboss Khmer]

exactly what I was thinking HRE

[Pitboss Khmer]

We aren't idiots, are we?

[Pitboss H Roman]

I am now convinced it is a question of your membership/status.

I went to a pbem tracker file with this Apolyton log in, and could not upload a picture attachment. Switched to my regular Poly log-in, and was successful in posting the same attachment I failed with the other log-in.

CS - any thoughts on what we do about this?

I worked for awhile in paint shop to make my map of the Incan war - I now I can't post it.

[Pitboss Khmer]

I don't understand how Korea posts and doesn't end turn?

Only need three to end...

Probably because he might not be at a computer that has Civ right now? Although I think he is, what with his broken leg and all.


BTW, I've already expressed my sympathies to you Tony, but here's the public version Get well Soon.

I'll bring the upload issue to the staff room.
It's not possible for you guys to upload the images somewhere else, a personal or public server, and then just use the img tag to show it here?

[Pitboss Khmer]

What's wrong with Toni?

Is he OK?

[The Capo]

I am Tony. The reason I haven't been "finishing" my turns is well, technically I am not "not finishing" my turns. I have jack-**** going on right now in my game, so I'm on autopilot, for the most part. Also I have to work from home now, which isn't really a huge hassle (I still have time to work on other civ-related things I'm doing) but what winds up happening is that I look and see the timer has like 10 hours on it and say "alright, I can play my turn in like five hours," then my leg starts to hurt and I have to elevate it, so I get up and do that, then I come back "oh look four more hours, I'm good" and I do it again. Then I "miss" my turn, but I am actually not missing anything (except maybe diplomatic messages), since I set up what I need done ahead of time (like unit movements or building orders). So basically sorry to waste your time, I'll try and be more mindful of it. If you have a trade for me or something, or want me to finish my turn either PM me or E-Mail me and more than likely I'll hop right on and do it. Before I was hurt I had a regular time I played my turn on, if anyone kept track of the times I took my turn it was either at lunch (between 11 and 1) or in the early evening (around 6 pm), now that I have such a huge window I've been taking more advantage of it.

Plus there is nothing going on in Korea, which explains my ridiculous, hardly civ-related, posts.

Sorry though.

[Robert]

for The Capo!
I hope you'll be better soon!

No problems about the turns, as long as you're not the one who's "holding up" the turn. (unfortunately there are mostly 2 or 3 other players who aren't doing their turns as well)
But if you're the last one: please finish it quickly!

[MMC]

Of course, if there are two civs at war, and an un-associated 3rd party is holding up the turn timer, there could be an argument for using that to enforce the double turn rule... not sure how, but it's just a thought.

[Pitboss H Roman]

I'll bring the upload issue to the staff room.

Thanks CS.

It's not possible for you guys to upload the images somewhere else, a personal or public server, and then just use the img tag to show it here?

Hmmm. Will try it.

Also - if I forwarded the jpeg image to you, could you attach it to my War History post??

[Pitboss H Roman]

Ok - once I have a pic on another server - in this case Hotmail, then what do I do??

[Robert]

Can we see that pic without having to login to hotmail?

you can place it by posting:
