I didn't think i needed to post (but in case i did this is it)!

Any idea when it's going to start?

[Qantaga]

Ah, ColDark. Thank you for that bit of information. I thought that I had to post to be subscribed. You are correct though and I appreciate you pointing out to me how to subscribe without posting.

Soon. Unexpereinced delay from CMN.

[ColDark]

Please forgive this Newbie again.

What is the CMN abbreviation? I guess it's some kind of moderator.

[Deimos]

CMN is the abbreviation for Creator-Moderator-Narrator(? Not sure about the N, but I think that's it.)

[SITS]

Turn 2101 to ColDark of the Peacekeepers!

[Deimos]

Whoo-hoo! We're off! Good luck to all, and I look forward to meeting you all on Chiron!

ZIPPED WITH WHAT

My mail client is outlook, and I recieved the turn from SITS, but it was just a mass of TEXT in an outlook message form, not, as I expected an attachment which I could unzip.

SITS - What do I need to be able to use the file that you sent me?

DEIMOS - What format should I be sending the file to you in. I would have sent it as a winzipped attachment. Is that what you are expecting?

Please accept my apologies, while I sort this one out. Hopefully it won't happen in the future.

Regards

ColDark

[SITS]

I've resent the turn to you ColDark. Let me know if it doesn't work....

[ColDark]

It's On it's Way

SITS. resend worked thanks.

Deimos. ToC _morganites on it's way to you winzipped.



As this is my first time PBEM, I may have a few mishaps. Hopefully they will be kept to a minimum.

[Qantaga]

Woo-hoo! Game on!

On a game note, I have a meeting in a few minutes and then I have two long flights this afternoon to get home. I will not be able to play my turn until around 9 pm Eastern US time (GMT -5). The good news is that I should have no more long trips for awhile. Sorry for any delays I might cause today.

An Announcement from the CEO

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I am here before you today, the last day of our first year on Chiron, to present you with Deimos Industries annual report.

As you are all aware, our headquarters is now up and fully functional. The scout patrol and colony pod we assembled from the landing survivors and Unity escape module have moved out and are now looking for a viable location for our first subsidiary holdings.

The initial reports from the manager of the expeditionary force indicate that we are located on the edge of a vast, fertile plain, that includes at least one major river. This river appears to be ripe for exploitation as a major source of hydro-electric power; power that will accelerate our research initiatives along with increasing our profit margins.

Our annual income for the next fiscal year is projected to fall in line with the analyst's expectations. Our first long range research project has already started, and we should see tangible results from this soon. The project schedule and milestones are outlined in Appendix I of the Annual Report that was transmitted to your data pads as you arrived.

We have had a good year, and I look forward to next year being even better. Thank you all for coming.


MY 2101 to Qantaga.

[Qantaga]

It looks like the same thing happened to me as occurred with ColDark this morning. My e-mail from Deimos also did not have an attachment, but did have a ton of hexadecimal characters at the bottom of the e-mail (most likely representing the turn).

I have sent Deimos an e-mail requesting a resend with a zipped file attachment, but I wanted to post here also, in case Deimos checked here first.

There is no rush, because it will still be tonight before I will be able to get to a computer with SMAX on it.

Sorry for any difficulties. Like ColDark said, we can iron these things out this turn and then be ready to go from now on.

Deimos, thank you for the resend.
