Monkey's PBEM turns update...

[Monkey]

Ok i posted the first game already... if this is not working then consider this first game a trial run...

turn 0; Monkey => robm

Person to look out for is Ed... which have not responded to my e-mails as yet but I've put him in anyway. I've tried my best to order players based on timezones and I just hope I converted all the times right!

[Robm]

I've taken my turn. The game started and played flawlessly. Way to go Activision!

I downloaded Monkeys game, executed it from my hard drive using the run command. It automatically started CTP as it should, and loaded the game. I took my turn, the game automatically saved after I clicked end, and then I quit CTP. Then I sent the game off to the next player.

So:
Turn 0; Robm => WIL

This should be fun!

I SEE MASS PROBLEMS, WITH PBEM!!! I WILL POST IN THE OTHER SECTION.

Sorry, i took my turn about two hours ago, forgot to post.

Turn 0: WIL > ED

Something downloaded from my server but mysteriously never appeared in my inbox. Was it the game ?

If so please e-mail it again.

Thanks.

turn 0; Butch => Frazer


Question: Is it a random thing whether you get one or 2 settlers to start? Sometimes I get 1, sometimes 2...just wondering

[Frazer]

Turn 0; Frazer => Monkey
The circle is complete (at last)

Sorry everyone for the absence. I moved to a new city the week you guys started. I now have my computer set up in a corner as we continue to unpack. I will be checking my e-mail at least once a day.

Sorry for the problems I caused.

Ed

[Monkey]

Congratulations people, the first turn has ended and it has only taken us one day...well after we had to skip Ed(aka Duck Hunter... nice name ) I'm glad to hear from Ed... and I move to reinstate him in this game... the only thing I fear is that it might screw up the timing of the order since Ed has moved to a different city...however Wil just try and reinstate Ed and we will see how the turns go...

Wil, can you type /detach 4 during your go and resume sending the game to Ed...?

turn 1 sent to robm

Ed, if you want i could put you into my second PBEM game instead as one of the players have dropped out....it is a CD's mod game but one player has e-mailed me about the incompatibility problems between CD's mod or Apolyton pack and PBEM in CTP... so this 2nd game might turn out to be a default Activision game after all.

[Robm]

Turn 1 Robm => WIL

All is looking good. Something strange I noticed. When I download the game from Monkey it is 179K, but when I upload it to WIL, it is 139K. Has anyone else noticed it? I wonder if it has to do with that type of conversion it is going through, i.e., Binhex, MIME, etc...

[wilfal]

TURN ONE, SENT TO ED, I added Ed back as you can tell.

[Duck Hunter]

Got the file. Took my turn. When it came to me, Wil said it was turn #2. The file that saved and I sent to Becky (just minutes ago) said turn 1. Is it because it was my first played turn?

Also, I'm PINK, darn! 'tis okay.
