In other words, you have no functioning e-mail. Ipso facto, you cannot be participating in PBEM let alone administrating it.

Suggestion - get a hotmail address or something. There isn't much point in playing PBEM games without a functioning e-mail address

Solver:

I have no objection to hanging the turn on the threadpost and ICQ'ing you separately that it's there. It's no slower than e-mailing you the turn and posting the notification.

After you have downloaded it from the thread, is it removed, or do all prior turns still hang there? And does that make loading the thread slower? What would happen if we all dispoensed with e-mails and just attached turns with the thread - would the server get swamped?

I have tried to edit after a turn has been downloaded (to remove the attachment), but that option isn't there. Can the administrator do that? And is it necessary?

I wasn't "picking on you" - just commenting that I am in around fifteen PBEM games, and 2 absolutely crawl, and you are the common element - other than me - in both.

Solver, come on. this is getting ridiculous. Either play the turn or give the password to someone else who is more reliable

[mark13]

I honestly don't think it's worth, it - let's just get someone else in and be done with it.

reading the thread, I'm, not sure if big_canuck ever got Solver's password - I;ve e-mailed him (b_c) to find out. If so, let's advertise for a replacement. If not, we're doomed.

The whole concept of the game is to set it up between the top rated players for the purpose of getting more ladder data to Solver. This is because many of the ratings in the ladder are based on only one or two games.

I just don't understand how Solver could be "too busy" to play a PBEM designed to support his own rating system. Excuses about his e-mail system are gone --the turn is right there waiting for him to pick up and he is nowhere to be found for 11 days!

I guess the point is that if Solver has lost interest in SMAC, then there is not much point to the game, unfortunately.

I got all the passwords from the disorganized rest of you, but none from Solver. I'll try and ask him for it in-game in Faction Strife (an as yet untried means of communication, that may prove fruitful, in the face of fruitless effort).

Holding my breath!
