Good, but too late probably... and you can be sure that someone on each team has the same idea, if not now, certainly in the following months.

Something is (very) wrong with the game.

When I loaded it, it first brought me to Sir Ralph's game (nice spot by the way), after asking for my password. Than it went to my game, but all the production stuff was at reduced cost (accel. production?), than when I ended my turn I just gave me another and another.

[Meshelic]

Maybe you were sent the wrong sav?

[Randolph]

humm.. if it was just someone else's turn that would make sense but what about the screwed up production, and multiple turns?

[Meshelic]

No idea. PBEM is a new format to me as well. Maybe nye or SirRalph might know what to do...

[Randolph]

In the mean time I'm just going to hold (opposed to all my other options )

[Harovan]

Well, accelerated production was on for me from turn 2 on. I thought NYE set this up and didn't pay further attention. Why you came to open my game instead of yours, I don't know. Strange.

Oh oh. I will see what I can do about it. I think I have an idea. Randolph.

You can get to your turn, yes? When you click on the end turn oval it prompts you to either sav or play on, yes?

Save it.

Also, is it possible you loaded it as a normal game? Through load game? It is best load by selecting Host, PBEM, Load Game.

[Meshelic]

I had a similar thought as well.

could be that he played on instead of 'save & exit'...

[Conqueror]

If the player before Randolph has normally saved the game before end of his turn instead of using the "exit & save" option what comes when you press end turn, this may have caused the problem.

[Conqueror]

But how come the game still accepted Randolphs password even it went to Sir Ralphs game, that is strange, unless they have same passwords (chanses of that very low ) or if Sir Ralph has left password empty in the beginning.

[Conqueror]

BTW is the accelerated production supposed to be on or not ? If some of us have it, some not, and Sir Ralph suddenly got it in turn 2 if i understood his post correctly.

[notyoueither]

I think I may have caused that. One of the very few options you can change in an MP game when loading is Accelerated production. Between various games, I may heve turned it on, but I do not recall doing that.

Important When you load the game, do not play with the setting buttons. Just launch. If after you load, accelerated is turned ON, please turn it OFF.

Not a big deal to this point. A couple of players have had an advantage. I think we can continue. If we do not come unstuck before I get home, I will resend my turn. Sound good?

[Meshelic]

so it would start from you nye again and then to me then to conqeror and so on? ....that is if the problem isn't solved...right?

I don't mind doing my turn over if I have to.

[notyoueither]

Yes. Rego from my turn. I may be able to resolve the Accelerated bit, and I'm sure things will work if we try again from me.
