Face Of Earth Part I

Turn to Keygen.

Does Keygen know about these confusing rules about me and Solver.

Sorry about the delay, had modem troubles.

System up and running again

System up and running again.
Thanks everybody for their patience.
Unfortunately I have lost many copies of turns, my attempts to make Keygen's PBEM Mod Lite work with Apolyton and my email
address books have been wiped out.

What confusing rules? We can do the 'usual' permamnent sub thing if you like J Bytheway? In that case, we wait for Solver for 24 hours, then I send you a note asking for you to play the turn instead if Solver has not. I thought my way just made things quicker that's all.

[J Bytheway]

Your way does indeed make things easier, and I like it, but that's only if the moderator knows what's going on. Never mind, anyway - you're back now. Would you like a copy of the turn I just sent to Keygen?

[PN]

Well I'm the moderator, and I know what's going on!
Yes please.

You're in the UK. Have you noticed how this site is drifting further and further away from 'GMT'?

[J Bytheway]

I start university today, so I could be a little preoccupied for a while, or unable to make the internet connection work or some such. So, assume I'm incommunicado until further notice - do something sensible with my turns.

Turn 39 --> AeroPrinz.

Apologies for the delay. I got confused by my system crash where we were with this game.

Turn 40 to Solver, John and PN.

Fuzz - could you possibly send your turns on a plain-text e-mail. It's not a big deal but the blue background always surprises me and looks rather out of place... But never mind if it's too much trouble.

[Fuzzball]

I think Outlook Express does that because it's the default background for my desktop. So as opposed to the text background being white it uses the default background colour. I'll change the background to white on your emails if it makes you feel better

[J Bytheway]

Never mind , and to you too. I guess the only difference really is a few extra bytes of starage space for the e-mail.

J Bytheway's turn 40 forwarded to AeroPrinz. Solver did not play again.

And good to see that within a few days of starting university you have your priorities right J Bytheway. I guess that means that you have to pay for your own phone calls now, so all that extra HTML in Fuzzy's messages makes it more expensive

[J Bytheway]

I don't have any phone calls to make at all!
I use the Cambridge University (Yes, I am at Cambridge and I am a know-it-all) connection, which is approx 32MBps, IIRC. At the moment, since the university is nearly empty of students, I get about 1MBps. So now I'm Downloading three or four PBEM turns a second, it makes things much easier... On Sunday everyone who isn't studying maths will arrive and then it'll be much slower.

Turn 41 to Solver, John, and PN.

[J Bytheway]

Turn to PN ages ago

J Bytheway's turn 41 forwarded to AeroPrinz. Solver did not play again.
