PBEM game

[Meshelic]

alright. Awaiting attachment.

Hmmm. OK. I must have set it to accelerated right off. Does anyone still have their turn 1? Can you verify that?

As for the bad game, let us know what happens on your turns. I have just resent 3850 to Mesh. I included some instructions for loading PBEM games. I'm not sure if they will solve the problem or not, or if they differ from what anyone is doing. In the version I emailed to Mesh, I missed one thing. Here they are again...

When I loaded it went to Ralph's game with a worker highlighted (ready to move). I did something (I don't quite remember what, but it wasn't ending the turn, maybe opened the main menu) and his turn ended. My turn then started with accel production on (I assume, I've actually never played with it, some time I should try it, but that's another story). I then played and ended my turn, then it went to my next turn (like it would in SP) without bring up the "save and exit" box that it has the other two times. I think I played 2 or 3 turn, before deciding something was very wrong.

We'll see what happens with the re-try

[Meshelic]

We'll have to keep our fingers crossed....

[Conqueror]

Seemed to work normal for me, passed to Sir Ralph.

See you all in about 9 hours.

Got the 3850BC save again. Accelerated production is on, and I have no option to turn it off. It was not turned on in the first turn, I know this for certain, because I had made some deep build queue calculations in turn 1 and had to remake all in turn 2 due to the accelerated production suddenly coming up.

I'll send now the save with an identical move to Randolph, but I don't see any difference to the turn yesterday.

[Meshelic]

would this not mean that everyone is on accelerated production the rest of the game? That's not necessarily bad, especially since we wanted to have a relatively quick game....

But then again, if the files are corrupt or if some kind of bug is coming out, then we should try to straighten it out as best we can...

[Randolph]

Send to Poobah.... working fine!!! (accel production on)

[Harovan]

It's time, 7pm GMT. Is anybody out there?

[notyoueither]

Here.

/ I sent 3800 about an hour and a half ago, but Mesh does not seem to be on yet.

[Conqueror]

I'm here too, altough the access to apolyton boards required ~15 minutes of reloading, my ISP really does not like apolyton today

But: even i may be unable to read this the whole time, i'll keep my e-mail open (that is working fine, thank god), and have auto-check & alarm noise on, so i'll notice when the game circulates to me

Just hoping that everyone will make it here so we can bounce the game around for some turns.


/edit: connection here seems better now
