              hmm - I did receive a 2112 turn (email) from Icewind on Thursday - he just never posted it here on Apolyton.

              I did send the 2112 turn onto Ellestar - on Thursay. He says he got turn 2111. Probably because I always name the sav file university.sav, and he didn't overwrite his old sav when unzipping.

              Lets hope he's able to figure it out

              Lets get back on track!

              Turn 2112 to University - again.

                BTW another typical PBEM SNAFU is when you've played your turn, saved and sent on to the next guy, and he reports that it's still your turn.

                This _has_ happened to me before, and _has_ happened here with this game (see turn 2107).

                The trick : when exiting your turn, you have 2 choices:
                1) SAVE AND EXIT
                2) OK
                The correct choice is always 1)
                If you choose 2) however, it allows you to save your game. However, who ever loads up that game (usually the next guy), it is still your turn (for changing city orders etc...)

                So just a warning: always always always choose SAVE AND EXIT,
                not OK
                OK?

                SAVING AND EXITING ...

                  Attachment size of your messages with turns 2111 and 2112 were equal. Also, i always rename both zip and save file to "newbies-univercity-21xx.*"

                                He said by ICQ.

                                By the way, Sentry33, do you have something like ICQ, Aim etc?
