[PBEM] Slaughter House 5

[aebbeka]

Please post turn sent notifications here.

Here is the turn order. I have also included what Civs were picked for those who chose Random, and their time zone. Hopefully the turn order is good, I tried to make it sort of go around the world with time...

aebbeka Greece CST
g_storrow Random (Arabia) GMT
Dubhghlas Random (England) EST
Grandpa Random (Japan) EST
Corossol India/Ghandi EST

Please go ahead and change your name in the game, if you wish. (hit ALT-D) AND MAKE SURE TO SET A PASSWORD!

All settings are default, except the world size is large, type is continents. Oh, and there's 3 AI players, on Noble difficulty.

Let the games begin!

The first turn has been sent to Arabia, via the in-game SMTP "thingy."

[g_storrow]

Sent my turn on.

Haven't set that in game think up yet. Will have a look at that tonight.

[aebbeka]

1 person played in 30 hours? Not a good sign...

[aebbeka]

54 hours now... I'm assuming it's still stuck on Dubhghlas, so I guess if nothing by tomorrow night, we'll have to replace him.

man

i dont think people quite get the concept of PLAYING

[Grandpa Troll]

ok

we at least have some attempt at moving forward

[Dubhghlas]

Um, I've sent an email out. As you now know, I didn't get any move from player 2.

You know, if you are waiting on something, you might try emailing somewhat earlier than 54 hours after the start of the game to see what is up. If Corossol hadn't emailed, I'd still be out of the loop (I don't always get a chance to check in here).

Just a thought...

gstorrow posted that he sent the turn, so I never considered that you might not have gotten it. Was it filtered as junk mail or something? Hopefully a resend will work.

[g_storrow]

3 accounts

I have now sent turn on using my 3 email accounts I also replied to al on another saying I had done my turn in case my emails dont get through to chase dubhglous up.

or yo can do it the easy way

when the turn opens up press (ALT + D ) and input your email address and also the settings for the outgoing email like smtp-server.abc.rfw.com or whatever it is for you (you can find this in the properties of your email account under servers)

then after that it will prompt you on next screen to input the email of the next player

if you have forgotten their email..simply press (ALT + TAB) which will downsize your game and look in the email for it or go to the apolyton site to get a copy of it

Ok

Hope this helps

Loading the save manually from within game
