Strat forum PBEM 2

Yes, it was my first semester. Good luck in your studies (although talent is much more needed than luck, and I don't doubt that you have it... ).

Ducki has more points because he settled on a luxury, as you may see in his starting position screenshot!

Thanks for the explanation guys.

I'm realizing that a strong work-ethic may even be more valuable than talent. That I'm going to have to get used to.
Good luck to you, too.

Are we the youngest here (and Dominae)?? Everyone else starts their posts with "The nurse came in this morning and....."

[ducki]

Back to Kon.

BRC - In my experience, for talent to outweigh work ethic, talent must border on genius, and even then, dependability will eventually win out.
I've seen a lot of brilliant people fired/laid-off/passed-over in favor of someone less talented but more dependable, hard-working, and congenial.

It sucks that politics is more important than results, but that's life.

Ye Gods! I sound like a bitter old man!

Alright, I'm back!

Thanks to alexman for filling in.

[alexman]

Welcome back.

Next turn, land the MA army after the ICBM strike and you should be set.

Alexman: Have you been sending the save around your E-mail game??

Who played my turn?? Better not have been you.

Yup, this has definitely been my problem


I see that you guys can play nice without adult supervision -- have fun

We will have the winners of the two games face off in one of the new formats that look like Roman gladiator theaters -- but that will probably be in 2005.

BRC, you're next! (as usual!!)

I'm having trouble with my CPU/Internet Service Provider, so I might be a little irregularin the next few days. But we are changing our computer so it should be really better from there on...

[BRC]

Kon, you sent me the turn you should have played. Can you send me the correct one??

[Konquest02]

OK, resent to BRC. Hope this is correct this time...

[BRC]

Sorry guys. My internet was out for the past few hours.

OK. We have 2 problems.

1) The save you sent me was still the beginning of your turn.

2) No matter how I load that save, it says that we are at Chieftain. I know for a fact that it wasn't that way last time I saw it. I will wait until I hear from you guys. Thanks.

On the "beginning of your turn" thing, when I get the save from Dave, the popup telling me what the game is (difficulty, year, etc.) it always says Dave's civ info, but when I click through that, it pops up again and says "Ducki, it's your turn."

Possibly this is the problem?

[BRC]

Ducki: I know what you are saying, but I can actually play his turn.

OK. Here's the really big problem. The last save Kon sent me isn't even our game. Kon, are you in another PBEM game, and is there a chance that you sent me that SAVE.

[Konquest02]

Yes, maybe. I replayed my turn, saved it in a new folder and named it kontobrc.sav, which is a pretty explicit name... Everything should come back to normal... Sent to BRC...

Sweet. turn to Dave.
