[Googlie]

Have we started? Where's it at? Don't the Gaians normally start a game?

Googlie (just enquiring on behalf of Lady Rynn)

[Tau Ceti]

You can make any turn order you like in SMACX, so the Hive starts. That said, I have sent AllieCove the turn twice and there is still no reponse...

[Googlie]

TC:

Thanks for the update

[Alinestra Covelia]

Whoah! Sorry, everybody!

I only just checked my email box, and it looks like I'm the pace car here...

Hang in there - I will get my first turn over with in a very short while and then we'll be in business!

Sorry for the delay. I normally check my email much more regularly than this.

[Runs off and hides, knowing this is an appalling start to her first PBEM game.]

[Alinestra Covelia]

Right, it's off. I sent a copy to Googlie (as he's next in gameplay order) and one to Tau Ceti, more or less on a gut impulse.

I assume that normal practice is just to zip it and send it to the next man along... am I right in thinking this?

[Tau Ceti]

That is correct, though you made a very common mistake by not ending your own turn first. As I got the turn too, I went in, ended the turn and sent the corrected version on to Googlie. There will be a reload message, though.

I also sent an email to Allie explaining the problem.

[Misotu]

Good to see we're off - looking forward to the game!

Well ... as much as anyone can look forward to raging hordes of demon boils, I suppose

[Rynn:]

......and on to Mis, by MindWorm Express

[Tau Ceti]

...and after that, I find a bug in my scenario file. Sorry guys, a restart is needed. I have sent the new first turn to Allie, and apologize for the delay this causes.

[Misotu]

No problem Tau. I hope it was a very *small* mindworm

[Alinestra Covelia]

No problem. It will have to wait about eight hours, though, as my university computer service has somehow unforgivably neglected to include SMAX on the server

[Misotu]

Hi, just posting to let you guys know that I'll be away for the weekend, so I don't expect to be able to play any turns until Sunday/Monday. Apologies for the delay this will cause.
cheers, Mis

[Googlie]

Now officially restarted - turn received from AC, played, and sent to Mis (who won't be able to play until Monday)

I'm back ... 2102 sent to RedFred.
