Intra Team PBEM Blue Game

[ZargonX]

Off to WIA

[MrWhereItsAt]

ZX, you sent me 2430BC again. Please resend 2390BC.

[ZargonX]

2430 is the last one I have

[MrWhereItsAt]

Oooookayyy.... Something weird's happening here.

Guys - what is the last one you have? I have and have previously sent 2430BC.

The order is

Turn starts
ZX
Me
Rho
UnO
Theseus

So Theseus, did you get 2430BC? If so, could you please replay and resend to ZX? If not, get UnO to get it to you.


...or it could just be quicker to continue with 2430BC. I'm sending this one on to Rho anyway. We'll see which is quicker

[Rhothaerill]

And per WIA's request, 2430bc is on to UnO again.

[Theseus]

2430BC was the last save I had gotten, btw.

(I'd really like to stick with that, if it's ok, as I scored an SGL )

[Rhothaerill]

So it's somewhere in between Theseus and Zargon I guess. I'd say that's an email error then. Theseus did you email out 2390bc since as the last player in the order that is what your save would be dated once you finished it?

[Theseus]

I'll play the save again, and see if I was wrong about the date.

(j/k about the SGL )

[Theseus]

Errr... possibly my mistake. It saved as 2390BC; sending that on now. Sorry.

/me - still the PBEM newbie

You DARE give me a heart attack like that again...

Glad we got this sorted. It's easy to save as the wrong file, or send the wrong file... usually I'm told straight away where I've screwed up though. The rest of us just weren't paying attention.

We'll be watching you closely from here on in, These...

[Rhothaerill]

Something I do that usually avoids that. In the 'saves' folder I make folders for each of my PBEMs with subfolders called 'old files' and 'sent files'. When a save comes in I stick it into the folder for that PBEM and play it from there. Then when it saves the game, the save file automatically goes into the saves folder and avoids the mess of having multiple files from the same game in one folder.

Every few days I clean it up and move the sent files to the correct folder for each PBEM and move the files I receive to the correct 'old files' folder.

It's a little extra work, but the save folder is always clean so there aren't any mix-ups.

2390 on to WIA

[MrWhereItsAt]

To Rho.

[Rhothaerill]

2390bc to UnO
And I will be gone until Sunday.

[UnOrthOdOx]

To Theseus.

I may be out of a computer for a few days. Somethings buggy...
