World War I in Europe - tracker

ahh well it was an idea

[Shogun Gunner]

This weekend will be my last opportunity before my trip. Modo has my password if you want someone to stand in for me and/or permanently replace me.

This scenario is a great idea, I just wish the game could move a bit faster.

*BUMP*

Yes, this is old. Very old, Beta...

[Grandpa Troll]

so this is dead?

[Modo44]

Just trying to reanimate here. I know only the basic facts.

I hope it is not. But it is with Beta, which can be misleading sometimes.

Plus, Shogun Gunner said he wanted to be replaced in this game.

[Paddy]

Shogun is back from his holiday now and playing saves.

Have you emailed Beta?

This weekend is Chuseok in Korea. Koreans prepare a table of food to honour the dead and their ancestors. Shall I pour a cup of rice wine for this PBEM?

Eight players is very ambitious. We are on page 5 of the tracking thread and in July 1914 and things have already broken down.

I will stay on if we can get things moving in the right direction. I just don't want to invest time into a big PBEM game like this unless it has a possibility of reaching some level of success. Remember cIV's release is rapidly approaching. Are we going to experience additional slowdowns and player drop outs when that game arrives. I can guarantee it.

I would recommend polling the existing players on this PBEM to give people a chance to play or drop out. For those who select to stay, collectively reach an agreement to a requirement of either playing, or posting to when they will play, with an agreed upon timeframe.

Sorry for the tone, but its tough to get any kind of flow/tempo going in these big PBEM games (Randomizer, Cold War also come to mind). This is just my opinion and suggestion, it's up to Modo as this is his PBEM.

[marcuspeddle]

I can play and am interested in playing if others take regular turns.
Please do not say you're in if you can't make a commitment of a turn a day.

[Shogun Gunner]

I will absolutely stay on if we were committing to a turn a day. I'm in about 10/11 PBEMs and I play saves within one day of receiving.

With eight people that would mean that your turn would be every second or third day at the fastest.

[Modo44]

I think you were being nice, Shogun. Thanks for the help, I was getting tired of bumping things lately.

This is how it goes: Everyone should please confirm whether he can play each turn within 24 hours of receiving the save (except for announced absence only). And I mean no "I forgot"s nor other things like that -- this game is too big, and we really can not afford such delays if we are ever going to finish it.

I will send PMs to Jon, Beta, and Ljube, to notify them.

[Beta]

OK - I am still up for this and the hold up is due to me. I got a new computer after coming back from vacation, and after loading up all my civ stuff, I was unable to play the scenario. So, I need to try loading it again - but then work got busy, and now I have parental care duties to attend to for the next week.

I can get it back on the rails by Monday or Tuesday next week - if I can address the technical issues. If not - I will forward it on to someone else (along with the password) for them to play.

My apologies folks.
