Was this the only (i.e. first and last) time the turns were played in a chat ?

I was actually there the moment that Dan got and played the game. I was going to play the game, but something came up so I had to have him step in for me.

I told Dan to move the settler and the worker. The settler was on top of a hill, which instead of building our city upon, we can mine later on and get three extra shields from it, since we can make up the food deficit due to irrigating the grassland around us (later).

If you have any problems with the move, then consult me, not Dan.

There was 1 turn played by every team yesterday, many of them while everyone (~30) was in the chatroom.

I have webspace that can be used for images if need be. Just send them to me at ixnay_37@hotmail.com

Yes, I have a problem with the fact that there was a move and a build that were not announced or discussed whatsoever in our Forum. And - this decision might affect lots of things in the game to come.
I can understand that you had to act quick - but why was this never known beforehand?

[WarriorPoet]

Yeah, I would have like to have known...just to witness the event, if nothing else. There is no military...but I would like to @$^%#$^% know about #!$^%@#$ like this in the !$%#$% future! :doitnow:

I made the move after consulting with Trip. No one else from the team was present at the time so I followed Trip's orders. As far as I understood there was no one esle from our team available to play and Trip didn't give me instructions to wait for other team members before moving. As far as the "acc prod" problem I dont know if it was me thought all recent MP games I have played had used acc prod and it was undoubtedly on when I loaded the save. This shouldn't have caused the setting on the save to change though. It may be a bug that I wasn't prepared for since I never played PBEM before, but one we wil have to watch for...

As far as map/save I gave Trip the map and save and vlad and PJ the map only. No one else was around when I had to leave. I didn't know where emails of all team members were (after all I never thought I would have to play the turn, always assumed it would either b be Trip or at least a minister) but if I had known them all I would have sent them. I would have to know though who has PTW also so I dont sent a save you cant use.

If we can post saves now in the main forum I will post it there too.

After a long discussion with BFM, we decided that the move that I made was probably the best one.

[WarriorPoet]

Ok, let me be one of the first to say...we (the team members who feel excluded) may have over-reacted...just a bit. However, I would hope that this kind of "emergency" can be avoided via BFM's communications setup.

Regarding images and save files etc. I have set up http://lux.aomgamer.com and soon I will give out the FTP username and password for anyone who wants to upload stuff. I'll make it so anyone who knows the password can view it from the net for those not familiar with FTP.

[BigFurryMonster]

Let's avoid these kind of matters in the future. I set up an email group to use to get things done quickly (if needed). If anyone is not on that yet, please mail me at apolyton@geenspamrutgermooy.net - and remove the geenspam part.

[Jon Shafer]

Communication via messengers, email, here and the yahoo group will make things much smoother and relaxed from now on. What happened was a one-time deal due to the circumstances.

[WarriorPoet]

Still onboard, chief!
