  • If it's still not working I don't know what to do. I've played and sent the turn twice now.

    Do you have an alternate email address?

      • It's not always it goes wrong with hotmail, I have had about 2 corrupted saves since I started the other PBEM game...
        This space is empty... or is it?

        • FP, send it to me (The save for Calc), if I get a corruption error, we know where it originated. If it's ok, hmm, no idea then.
          I could try to forward it.
          In our game, we havn't had any probs yet, have we.

          Maybe the error occurs when sending it, not recieving.

          I've got some voodoo repellent standing by too, just in case...

          • Guys, I am still following this thread - even though Tibi is now back online, ready to play his turn, if it ever comes to it - just for sheer humour value...

            Try ZIPping the SAVegame, it may help... ZIP is a much more standard format than SAV for any email provider. If even ZIPs get corrupted, then the provider would be flooded with complaints and would be likely to fix the problem ASAP.

              I'll be off again next week (probably for the entire week, maybe except for Monday). Of course, this is not really important, because I seriously doubt I have a chance to get a savefile next week
              The God of Civ3 is angry with us because we started this game too soon. Now we're doomed to start it over and over again

              • We should calculate how long this game will last based on the duration of the first turn. Our grandchildren will have to finish what we started

                Edited: Oops, we can't do that. We can't measure the length of the first turn, because we didn't finish it yet.

                  397 posts, who will get the 400th?

                  anyway I predict by the time we are at 500th post, the person who posts will be attaching the second turn. Wanna have a bet going here?

                    I tried charming this game by holding onto a rabbit's foot while loading, but before it got to 100%, a black cat jumped at me and I yelped and threw the foot onto the mirror and broke. Well no not really. But the amount of luck we have is less than what I portrayed.

                    No Tiberius. You mean you predict our grandchildren will finish our first turn right? we need more generation of children than that for the whole game!

                          • Guess who's the problem...!!!!???

                            CALC !!!

                            He should be getting used to that by now

                            Game loaded without any problem...(didn't see anything the start either so...)

                            That is actually something I've been wondering about, most here use broadband, right? How come you are using hotmail accounts? I' ve got one too, but mainly to register and as a diversion for that crap mail.
