Sixth sense

[Hercules]

My, what a surprise. Doesn't bother me. I 'm just looking for a good multiplayer game. A chance to try all that stuff about popping and trawlers.

One advantage is that you guys are all, more or less in one place. Your turn rate though should be faster.

[DarthMaur]

Depends what you mean by one place. We don't exactly live in one happy commune

Actually, i have no idea where Kirov lives. Once here, once there. Hard to tell.

And i was joking. We aren't allied (well, at least i and Zefir are not).

Yes, yes, i know i should have my turn done much earlier...

[Zefir]

"And i was joking. We aren't allied (well, at least i and Zefir are not)."

... yet

2102 sent to MrClever.

[Hercules]

Please confirm you have sent your password to Tau Ceti. If we can speed the turns, it will be better for the game: 7 player games apparently are very slow.

[MrClever]

I believe I was sent the wrong turn.

[MrClever]

Hello?

[Hercules]

Come on guys this is the slowest start in the history of Apolyton I wouldn't be surprised.

[MrClever]

Hey, I know! But I got the wrong file. The file I got had me at the end of my last turn.

[MrClever]

Hey, I sent the turn. It'll say I reloaded it, but I don't particularly give a damn about that.

[Hercules]

What was the turn number/ what was the year. So far there has only been one turn.

[MrClever]

2102.sav. Yeah, it was right after I'd gone last turn. This save comes to me, and says my units had already moved. I was confused, so I just monkeyed around with it until I was able to move. As I said, it'll say I reloaded, but I'm not concerned about that. This game has been stalled for so long, I'm not going to stall it even further.

[Hercules]

Yes the turn came to me alright with the reload message. No problem we're all learning.

Lets get the turn naming convention consistent. The turn should come to you with your game name or abbreviation in the name. when you save and exit the game will suggest the next player. Change the save file to the next players name at this point. For example :
The game is Sixth sense, save the game as six-herc-2xxx.sav if sending to me. I will send the game to kirov as six-kirov-2xxx.sav. (where 2xxx is the year) Because the first turn started with Mr Clever his turn will start with a new year.

Last point put Sixth Sense in the subject box so that the recipient will know what game the turn is from. Important when involved in several games at once.

[Hercules]

Oh. Turn 2102 to Kirov

[Thrar]

no idea what might have been wrong with your turn. When the enter password screen popped up after i finished my turn, i hit save and exit.
There are only 2 files related to our game in my save directory (my 2101 turn and that one) so i am pretty sure i sent the right one.
I hope next round will be ok, otherwise i dunno.
