Strat Forum PBEM: Game 3

[Dominae]

Ok great, let's get started!

A big thank you to BRC for getting us set up.

As with the other games, let us post here when we send our turn to the next player.

Good luck everyone!

I need Sir Ralph's E-mail, so that I may send him the first save. Can someone PM me??

P.S. He's sleeping now, isn't he?

[BRC]

Game to Sir Ralph. Have fun everyone.

[Harovan]

Turn played. Now if I had Nor Me's email, I could send it.

He's probably sleeping now. So should I do.

[Harovan]

Turn sent to Nor Me.

[Nor Me]

jshelr's email might be helpful at this point.

[Dominae]

I'm hoping everyone contacts the previous person with their email individually. When your turn is up, please send a PM to the person who is sending to you.


Dominae

[jshelr]

sent an email earlier but I'll pm now and, anyway, the super secret email address is

jshelr@aol.com

[Nor Me]

turn hopefully sent.

Ok, there is a problem with the game: we're playing Chieftain now.

There is a bug with PTW that concerning loading MP games. The easiest way to avoid this (that has worked great for me thus far) is to always use 'Load Game' immediately after starting up PTW. So here are the steps:

1. Close your current PTW program(s).
2. Start up PTW.
3. Select 'Load Game' (not from the MP menu).
4. Find the file the previous player sent you.
5. Load it, type in password, play, etc.
6. Do not save during the turn.
7. When your turn is done, click the 'Done' button (or hit Enter).
8. The game will prompt you to save. Do so and exit.
9. Email the game to the next person.

So what we need to do now is figure where the game got changed. Sir Ralph, Nor Me and jshelr, could you all check your turns to see if the game is still at Emperor?

For a change, it looks like I am innocent, just unobservant. It was chieftan when it got to me.

[BRC]

I sent it at Emperor, for sure.

[Dominae]

Ok, no worries, it's either Sir Ralph or Nor Me. Good to catch these things now instead of 20 turns after the fact.

It was chieftain when I received it too. Still, it's useful to know I've been doing what is allegedly right. I know BRC has the first save but surely someone has an excuse to restart completely so I can have a decent start.
