ready for pbem?

[TheBirdMan]

Turn to Maestro...

Going fine...

[Flandrien]

Yes, really fine.
Unfortunately, I am at work now.

[Arthur]

I suggest giving this game a name and giving the name in the subject when e-mailing turns. It can be a little confusing when one receives turns form different games that are not labled. Thank you!

Turn ---> 2 Stavros

[TheBirdMan]

Agree....

[Stavros]

Turn -> Dattler

I agree about the name as well. I vote for Ghia PBEM, but I'll leave it to Dattler, since he started this thread

[dattler]

all right, I suggest GhiaPBEM_turnXYZ.csg ; no brackets () and no whitespaces make it more easy to me

[TheBirdMan]

Turn 2 to Maestro

Be ready for a diplomatic visit. I - Hagar the Wise (former the Toothless) - has decided to find out, if there's any other intelligent lifeforms than my own on this planet.

If so, my ambassador has been instructed to meet such with an open attitude and without aggression.

I'll not be the first to take off my shoes - just to start a war.

[TheBirdMan]

Do any of you seem the same:

100% content citizens, wondereffect though no wonder build??

Looks like my cities are protected by forcefields??

Just wondering!

[Stavros]

I saw the forcefield as well, but it's not in the "built" list. I haven't tried attacking myself though I suspect it's just a sprite bug. I haven't noticed the happiness though....

[Flandrien]

Turn to Arthur.

All my cities have a forcefield too !
And my citizens are quite happy about it.

[Sophanthro]

Hey I was glancing thru here and I noticed the forcefield bug. It's a Linux to Windows bug. I just checked and it's in the the Fenris bug database, So there is no work around that I know of .

Bug #1269
http://fenris.lokigames.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1269

[dattler]

sorry about this.
its me who has the linux box.
i think thats the end of our game until i get a bugfix, what do you think?
see you then

[Arthur]

Turn 2 ---> Stavros

[Stavros]

Turn to Dattler

[Stavros]

Good question, what should we do about the game!? We're only a few turns into the game so we could start it again. From the sound of the bug report, it's not only a sprite error, but gives "real" bonuses. This is a bit heavey. I cant imagine phalanxes getting through a forcefield... We could start from the last person to have a turn 0 before it was passed on to Dattler, if he still has the game. Ahh... looking back, I think that was me...
Dattler: Does this happen in other PBEM games of yours? If we started another game with you in it is it 100% likeley to occur?
