On Friday, November 26 at 11:45PM CST, a new world was created...

Turn 0 -> Rowick

Good Luck everyone! Keep it moving...

[Mark H]

turn 0 -> Don

[hexagonian]

To all,

Mark did not get a transport. Please tell me if anyone else has run into this problem. If this is a recurring problem, I may have to contact Soph and see what the problem is and possibly start the game over.

Mark,
Did you start by water, or did your settlers have to move to get to water? I know that if you start far enough inland, you will not get a transport (as that has occasionaly occurred in playtesting). Also, check with your 'next unit' button to see if that will locate one on the map.

[DON]

Turn 0 to Phil.

Turn 0 from Phil -> Kremen

Kremen, please email Phil to reconfirm your email address. He had a problem getting an email through to you - he forwarded his turn to me and I'm forwarding it to you.

Hex

[Lung]

Well, that's just dandy!!

Halfway through the first turn and someone fails to play their turn:-( Oh well, i guess it's going to be a lo-ong game!

[Rowick Hepan]

Apparently Krem hasn't received it yet.... not sure why.

[Kremen]

OK so I've emailled Phil with my correct address, though the address Hex has for me is correct and has worked before. Somebody must have done a typo somewhere :-)

Kremen

I'm working on the problem now - it was a wrong email address
(everyone - Kremen's email address should have an .au at the end of it - it was incorrect in the readme file.) You should get your turn at about 1:00 pm your time, as it will probably be another 10-12 hrs (after this post) before it is sent out. (I know that Phil is at work now)

Sorry for the delay and thanks for notifying me.

The turn has been forwarded to Kremen. Notify me if you got it

Kremen has sent turn 0 onto Sotiris. Sotiris, please email me after doing your turn so I know that the game is progressing, and that everyone has the correct email addresses.

Anyone feel like surrendering to Phil/me at this point

I didn't think so...

[Lung]

Because the first turn is so important, i brought my computer with me when i came to my parents, but Dad's stupid modem doesn't like my computer for some reason, so i'm having trouble accessing my e-mail. I still have hope to get it fixed, as i'm not home until Saturday.

Anyway, at this rate i'll be home before the turn reaches me

I'll keep y'all posted...

Sotiris has done his turn and has sent it to Lung - good luck on getting that problem fixed.

The next few turns should go quicker as all final email glitches are worked out and we get into a routine.

Everyone - I am going to implement the following. If a player hasn't done his turn within 24 hours of the time he is scheduled to do so, I will email the previous player and have him email the turn to his teammate to do. Please keep the sent turn on your system until you get your next turn.

And contact me via email if there is a problem with doing your turn because of schedule conflicts. As long as I know what is going on, I can keep everyone informed and the game will go smoother.

Actually, everyone has been very good with their turns so far...

[DON]

Well Lung, the game's with you now. So you better get that modem working. Saturday is a long wait and I don't want to play your first turn.

[Lung]

Sorry guys, i couldn't get the bastard to work. Anyway, i'll be home in four or five hours and i will play my turn when i get home to use my own computer.
