420,

The mailbox of Darth Viper works fine. I tested it and have no problems. In fact it is the same mailserver that you used when sending the turn to me. I am very happy with this provider since I have had no problems in the 3 years that I use them (and they are not even expensive). The mailaddress you use for Darth Viper is ok, so that is not it. You probably had just back luck. Try again next turn and see what happens. If it fails again sending it to my mailbox is a good alternative.

Blackice,

You get the copy to do the turn if your teammate fails to do it within 24 hours for whatever reason. This way I hope we are able to keep the game going fast.

Just a note about Darth Viper's e-mail that might be related to the above discussion. All of Darth Viper's e-mails automatically go into my "Bulk Mail" folder within Yahoo Mail. (The Bulk Mail folder is reserved for possible SPAM mail). Everybody else's e-mails properly go to my "Inbox" folder. Hope this helps.

That is strange quinns. I do not understand why that should happen. Perhaps you guys could try stephan.middelkoop@bluejarf.nl although I would not understand why that should help. Bluejarf is the name of my company and should not be regarded as a spam mail supplier. I hate spam mail. (continues to rage for 4 pages but finally gets control back on his emotions)

Turn on its way to Demosthenes (cc. Blackice)

It could be the name "Darth Viper" - it is very close to someone known in the StarWars. Some company might think mails from "Darth xxxx" was spam if the name is in a kind of filter on the ISP.

If this was Hotmail, you would be able to go in the "spam-folder" and check out mails from Darth Viper as not being spam.

quinns a question to you.

Since this is a rated game someone will have to provide the rating figures. I suppose that that is generally the one that started it all (so me, in this case). However, it was decided that 420 would be the first player. Will he then have to provide the rating figures? Or can I do that at my turn 9 (or whatever we agree upon)?

Thanks quinns,

420 do you want to provide the rating figures? If you do not, don't worry I will do it for you.

Cross your fingers heh.

[quinns]

Fingers crossed... I didn't get the turn though. Try again Blackice. Don't know what happened.

You may have noticed that Apolyton just promoted me to Warlord. Except that I will receive more salary it is also an indication for all of you that I am someone to fear. Since this brought me in a good mood I offer the other civilizations in the world "Teamhorses" to become part of the great Egyptian empire for only $9.95. (A heritance from the time I lived in the USA. I could not resist it . These were good times, by the way)

Note that this is a one time offer valid only untill January 30, 2001.

PS: I am wondering if Apolyton personalises its site. If they do they will promote me next time to Princess
