The sailing MGE succession game

[Vlad Antlerkov]

Didn't notice this thread until now.

I'll jump in. Who's ahead of me?

[Julius Brenzaida]

Allright, I have downloaded and will play before tomorrow afternoon.

[Julius Brenzaida]

Sorry Vlad, didn't see your post while posting mine.
I am the one ahead of you, but play now, I have other games going
Welcome to the team.

Rabbit:

Can you repost the savegame? The zipfile downloads fine, but there's nothing in the zipfile!

[-Jrabbit]

5 downloads but no one else mentioned anything... Can't do it until I get home tonight. Not permitted outlaw programs like Civ in my work environs. Sorry for delay.

Welcome to the group, Vlad.

[Vlad Antlerkov]

Ah well, probably just me...

I'll download Netscape and see if that works.

[Vlad Antlerkov]

Ah nutbunnies. Netscape doesn't work, either.

Can someone else try DLing it?

(BTW: Most of those downloads are mine )

[Marquis de Sodaq]

I just verified that the zip file is a dud.

[-Jrabbit]

don't know what the heck I did... Seemed to take as long as a normal upload...

I'll be home around midnight GMT and will try again.

[-Jrabbit]

Trying Again...

Well, info sez it has 37,654 bytes in it, which is about right for a zipped save.

Posting again here. then I'll try to DL.

then I'll probably have to start over and try again.

FYI, I'm a Mac guy, using ZipIt, which has successfully uploaded my saves in the Campo callenge thread in the past. But I "admit" my affiliation so any Mac bashers out there can take the oppty to bash my hardware, as opposed to my computer skills.

Or maybe both... whatever. :shrugging smilie:

Sorry for the double-post. I went to do this --- ie, to post another attempt at ZIP when lest burnt out --- and my browser hadn't reser.

anyway, here it is (?) again.

Since I'm committed to other family activities tonight and go to the dentist in the a.m. , I'd appreciate a PM -- or better yet, an email letting me know if this has succeeded. (I'm PMing Vlad when done with this.

[Vlad Antlerkov]

Both savegames are bad... :/

Actually, come to think of it, Jrabbit, could you post the save itself? (File size shouldn't be much of an issue. Most savegames are around 140k, around a minute upload time for a 56k modem.)

(Or maybe it could have something to do with the fact that you're using a Mac, and everyone else is using a Windows-based machine.)

If I'm not able to play the game from Jrabbit's save, what should I do?

[-Jrabbit]

It's within file size specs, but the uncompressed Mac savegame doesn't want to upload.

Trying again -- 4th time tonite. (Already emailed to Vlad)
Gotta sleep, so if this doesn't work, and Vlad can't deal with the Mac file, just do what you gotta, move on without me, I guess.

Plenty else to do -- like write some history etc. Tuesday is pretty solid dentist - work - golf --- so I can only check in sporadically during the work segment (US Central time).

AAAARRRGGHHH!!!!!

[-Jrabbit]

Ooops. Oh yeah, One last attempt to attach. Appended a .sav extension, so maybe this'll work.
