No ICS succession game

Well done! You know, reading these accounts are sometimes the highlight of my day. Doesn't say much for my days, huh? Then again, maybe it speaks volumes about the scribes.

Thank you. But really I think it says more about my days at work.

What a lovely history. Histories like that are the best, short and sweet yet funny and informative.

I am alarmed by the news there may be a town named Edward I. May I recommend a town named Kenneth I?

Yeah, right.

'Kenneth I' would be a fine name, I was really hopping to settle the 3rd city and keep the Ed-thing going. Such is life.

ok, i'm downloading the file here at home now.

I have a fencing tournament (national interschool competition) tomorrow(it's now 1:00 AM, so it's today, really), so i'll finish it on sunday & pass it on on monday.

Bump

Wouldn't want this to fall off the bottom of the Forum.

Did the game die somewhere along the line, or something?

[Daddy-O]

I don't know what happened. It seems like both v2.42 succession games have come to a grinding halt. From what I can tell, I passed the save to HsFB on 11/14. HsFB downloaded it on 11/17 and said that he'd pass it by the 20th. Today is 8 days since my pass.

I can tell you that I left HsFB with 2 cities and 3 troops to move for 10 turns.

I am not sure what happened. Who is keeping the history for this game? Johnmcd, is that you? Do we continue with Hueij? Do you need me to pass the game again? I'd like this succession to continue.

Sorry, i am involved in another succession game at another site, and had to play my turn the same time as this one.

The time periods coincede, and i got confused and played 15 instead of 10 turns. I'll mail it this night.

[Daddy-O]

I think we can live with the 15 turn mistake.

[Hueij]

Can't we make some time-rule or something? Like, when you can't make it in let's say three days you have to pass it on to the next? It's over ten days now without anything happening...

[Daddy-O]

I don't have a problem with that. This very issue came up during another succession game. People started passing the save on when they knew they couldn't play within a reasonable time period. I think the move to 10 moves from 20 moves was also an attempt to speed things up.

How would we enforce this? Maybe the person that starts the game and keeps it's history, monitors the thread and determines when a save must be passed to the next person.

The same thing has happened on the AKC succession. I don't want to be the hard ass, but I think 3 days is plenty of time.
