MASTOR Challenge Turn Completion

[Rasputine]

Jimmytrick, I think that if the player announce to all, by e-mail and here, that he have send the turn, that should be enough...if everyone check this thread and his e-mail box daily, everything would run smoothly.

Anyway, txs for the input

Dear JimmyTrick, as Rasputinho said, you noitify the sender in a valid way both by posting or by sending him. More, I keep the habit, and suggest friends to do so, to notify by e-mail ALL the players of a challenge of a turn sent, with a NC (no content) message.

If you have a lazy player, do you think he'll bother to reply as receipt if he isn't going to play the turn straight away?
And what if he receives the message and simply doesn't check his mail?

Let me clarify. Flo by chance follows me in two games now. Erewhon and Mastor. On the 22nd I sent turns from both games to him within about 1 hr. In Erewhon we went on to turn 2 rounds on the 23rd, one on the 24th and also one the 25th. Then he realized that he had not checked the Mastor thread. Okay, he took full responsibility for it:

"i take full responsibility for this delay, because i did not check the Mastor turns thread on this forum. My awareness for playing Mastor is not highly evolved yet"

This could happen to any of us that are playing in multiple games. In my mind it is not a lazy player problem but a communication problem. My suggestion simply makes both players responsible for ensuring that game does not stall. If I had been equally responsible, I could have taken some action to nudge Flo and wake him up. Think about it. We should try to pick each other up. If anyone is offended by anything I say herein, please feel free to flame me by e-mail, okay.

Heck, I get 20-25 e-mails on a slow day....it would be darn easy to miss a turn. Sometimes I get busy and have to choose between playing a turn or checking the boards. Guess which I do? Okay, I will shut up now. The game lives!

Also, Flo had the flu, during this period!

Turn sent to Marionini...finally...I almost forgot how the map was:-)

I saw your point, Jimmytrick.
What I fail to get is, if you want to take as a sender the responsibility to nudge the recipient (which I definitely agree on, as long as it doesn't turn into harassing and jumping at each other's throat ), you can do it when time passes whithout seeing his "turn sent" message or posting.

To my obnubilated mind (3 hrs. of sleep...) it appears that an ACK receipt would be required only if the recipient doesn't (or can't) play his turn as soon as he reads the incoming message, in which case it would be just kind on his part, like Aredhran often does, to signal "I saw the message, but I can't play right now, I'll take the turn around hour xxxx".

The Believers "Brain" is out of town for a couple days (till Monday night). Please carbon copy turns, diplo etc. to the CMN, who hopefully takes over.

All I gotta say is ...

What the heck is going on with this game??

It started over a month ago and I've played ONE turn. What's up with that??

- Magnus
who's still awaiting his 2nd turn and is trying not to harass everyone

[Rasputine]

Magnus.........Turn is with the Believers...Since Flo is out of Town, Tfs99 has it to play and send it to you.
I'm talking about the 3rd turn, not the 2nd that was played while you were away.

[tfs99]

Turn complete and on to JGMagnus ... Ted S.

P.S. Nell is back!

[jgmagnus]

OK! Got my turn!

thanks!

Passed to Rasputine
