Yeah, people should start learning to post a 'sent' message in the turn threads... sure, one can miss from time to time, but missing each turn is too much...

i think posting a 'sent' message is a courtesy, maybe i have overlooked it, but dont recall seeing it listed as a requirement 4 the tournament, sure, i'll post the sent message when i'm able, but if i dont i dont.

I understand what you say here Predesad, as you are your own master etc.

Just a side point, alot of time has been saved several times in various PBEM games, when the people post that they have sent the save, then if it does not arrive within a good period of time, the next person has been able to back track it, and have it resent etc.

So to, I have seen days wasted where no post was made, so the next person politely waited for the save to arrive... and everything ground to a halt.

Yes, it is your option to post 'sent', but I believe that it is a good option, especially in keeping these Tournament games moving along.

I don't know if the notification went out to everyone in the tournament or just those in his game, but predesad has a herniated disc and will be going in for surgery next week. [Thanks for keeping up with your turns and good luck again.]

This brings up another issue for the tournament; should we allocate a certain amount of 'time off' for players who have vacations or other prearranged absences? Or should it be required that they find a substitute or default to Oct X? Is there a limit on how long a substitue can play for?

i agree w/ u here 100%, in fact some games i am in, instead of turn sent post, we send a reply email to the player letting them know we got the turn, it does help, but in my particular case, i am doing good right now 2 take the turns & would appreciate no complaints about my not posting the turn sent, its not like it happens every turn anyway, because it is a courtesy, not a requirement. normally it is something i would do 2 help move along the game, sometimes not always an option.

Hi Predesad,

no malice or ill intent meant your way in anyway shape or form.

& i took no offense 2 ur comment whatsoever, Mr. Scot, & same 2 u

however this is a problem in game #1, I am the problem, i personally feel it should have been dealt w/ by email, pm, or even posting in the game 1 thread, but instead:

Um, I know this is all pretty experimental right now, but if someone plays a turn without posting in the turn thread, there's no way to tell if they are causing a delay or if the turn is just slowly making its way around...

Yeah, people should start learning to post a 'sent' message in the turn threads... sure, one can miss from time to time, but missing each turn is too much...

the problem was brought to the main tournament thread by two of my opponents and that i resent. obviously i am pissed right now, but-

One more time i woud like to ask ... put aside their differences, make peace and play the game ... what i am saying is all the whining, all the complaining, all the crying is making this tourney not fun ...

i think i'll just take my own advice i offered when there was another problem and i'll just shut up about it.

I would like 2 apologize 2 everyone in this thread for any inconvenience or discourtesy caused by the airing out of this problem i am causing in game 1.

[Rommel2D]

Predesad, I didn't mean for you to be the focus of my comment. I've been watching the other turn threads and a couple seem to be lagging. I'll bet ADG noticed the same thing because some people in them aren't posting at all. AFAIK, this is a completely new process and we should work out the kinks as soon as possible. I think our game is actually going pretty well...

[Paddy]

Yes, Predesad, you are by not the only person not posting "sent".

Game IV - Update

We are into 2710BC

So I fiqure we are now 26 turns for 24 days. Just up on the 1 turn per day idea...

Basically we doing alright, staying the course.

How are the over games going?

[Adagio]

Game 1 has reached 3000BC, we have had a few small delays, but nothing special... on the other hand, we also have had some great days: One day we managed to play 3-4 turns within a few hours

[CerberusIV]

Game 3 has reached 2850BC. Seems to be going well.

[Iron Jackson]

Game 2 has reached 3450 BC. We had a small problem at the beginning, but now we´re cruisin´ along with a turn per day.

[Rommel2D]

Game 5 seems to be at 3750BC. The add more players and turn limit ideas are working perfectly.

Maybe we should leave some donuts sitting around in the turn thread...?

mini-poll

I think we sort of agreed to use the 1.12 patch until the official one came out, but I get the feeling this might not have been followed by everyone. Are some people playing with unpatched or 1.15 versions? I'm wondering if upgrading to 1.15 will affect anything.

Does anyone know for sure if the corruption model is determined by whoever starts the game, refigured by the first player each turn, or what?
