1625BC sent to Snotty.
Sorry for the delay but my friend from Taiwan came to visit for the long weekend.

I know we are crawling at snails pace right now, but just to let you know im going to need another day on this one and then things will be finally sorted

[SirOsis]

I just saw a snail fly past me. We've stalled.

[marcuspeddle]

Snotty, do you need someone to take your turns for a while?

[SirOsis]

Sent. I did notice a bug? Some reason it looked as if my units moved twice. Does this happen and should I retake the turn?

[Hot_Enamel]

I say retake the turn.

Could this have something to do with saving the game before you end your turn ...

ie ...
load the game
Play half the turn
Save
Load the game a few hours later.
Play the rest of the turn.

I heard this can cause an extra production/food/commerce etc etc

Hi guys, the bad news is that my adsl provider is going to take 23 days to connect me at my new house, so i am stuck with a friends battered 56k aol account with multi minute load times on pages. As I am sure you can understand this is creating a vast number of problems as pages often wont load at all and I cant spend hours round his house waiting for things to work. To add insult to injury he is going away for a week 10-17 july and i will be entirly without internet access. I can still get acess but cant really reply with any kind of punctuality until i get my adsl back. Once again, im sorry for having to drag all you guys through this. If you coyuld ask around in your other games for someone else for the duration of my dissconnection I would be happy to give them a simple list of things so you guys can keep the game moving.

As for the two moves thing, I messed up slightly at my end and didnt save the first time so I had to reload from the save anatolia sent me. I cant see why this would cause a bug as I seem to remember it being an accident i have done before.

Well, I hope we can all get this sorted as soon as possible. I can tell you being cut of from my internet addiction so brutally and for such a long time is a suprisingly hard thing to deal with.

Got the save, it has gone to England.

We can advertise for a temporary replacement in this forum if we want.

Sent. Tonight worked as well as its going to work. Heres hoping for the coming week.

I will put a post up in the forum within the next few days asking for a temp replacement for the week I have no access.

[SirOsis]

Actually not sure there was a bug now. My mind may have been playing tricks on me. I thought that the units moved twice but if that was the case I would have been able to use them this turn yet I wasn't. So for now I think I just made a mistake. I will keep my eyes open though.

56k isn't too bad. That's what I use.
