C3C PBEM Tournament : Game # 1

[Conqueror]

Yeah, it is definately a turn i already have on my hard disk and have sent it to Rommel. Feels stupid to play the same turn again, but i'll do that anyway.

[Conqueror]

1870 BC sent to Rommel - again

Please Rommel and Predesad verify that you play and send correct turn onwards this time so we dont have to play same turn 3rd time

[Rommel2D]

It's the same turn I have a copy of in my out box- predesad?

[predesad]

i have no idea what is going on, only that i just sent a turn labelled 1870 from rommel just a few minutes ago, and now i am receiving a turn labelled 1870 second time. perhaps someone got mixed up and we actually have 2 turns going around at the same time, maybe someone sent the turn, then later on sent it again thinking they had not. all i know is that i had not even played 1870 until 15 minuts ago, unless the 1870 i just got from rommel is really the third one???

[predesad]

i am not going to play the turn rommel just sent me, would be kind of pointless since i just played it and sent it to ADG to turn around and play it agian, dont you think?

[Adagio]

I recieved the wrong save from you the first time, that's the reason why it went on for a second round... but now I've got the correct turn... and on to Conqueror

[Conqueror]

1830 BC sent to Rommel

deleting or moving the old saves to some other folder is a good way to avoid mistakes

i am still amazed that we have had so little wrong files or lost mails, etc problems. in some PBEM games, there is some problem almost every turn Glad we are doing so well.

[predesad]

the problem is ont just that the same turn went around twice, the problem is i actually got two turns in my inbox, neither of which had been played, i got one in the mail last night after i went to bed, then while i was playing that turn, but before i sent it to adg i got a second turn this morning, initially i thought rommel was just sending the save to me again because it had been about 13 hours and maybe he was just checking, which leads me to believe someone sent a turn twice.

i will of course blame this on rommel, he already has a history of sending me wrong saves, usually his own turn instead of mine. (note: accusation not to be taken seriously)

but i might have sent the turn twice, not replayed the turn, but actually sent the same save twice, (i hope everyone understand the diference) thinking i had not sent it because sometimes i get a lot of turns from different games at once and i might be sending 5-6 turns at about the same time. my point is somehow we ended up with 2 games going around, not a replay of the same turn.

but that is all irrelevant, the game is on track, hopefully and we can continue. as Conqueror said, we have had so little problems anyway

[Rommel2D]

It sounds like ADG received an echo email somehow (server hiccup? Mail spool drool?).
