Hes getting soundly beaten at the moment.

Although it would be a horrible thing to say hes not playing because he doesnt like playing out a game to certain defeat.

No one wants to be beaten and burried 7 feet under the ground.

Unless you are a crazy CTP-dictator and have control over a number of nukes and spies - then it is fun I can tell you (see Youngblood Gathering and Another World).

And a little defeat or 14 can't harm .

Yep, sure it's Ken... just checked. I hate to next him because he has apologized to me in the past for having some goofy mail filters that just don't let the turn through. For areo, I think we need a sub. BTW, bird, do you know who Areo's partner is in 3 guns? You're in that, right?

Nobody responded to my message and being that it's a team game I might as well just get his partner to play his turn.

I don't understand.
Which game are you talking about?

Are you saying you are going to ask Aeroprinz's partner in another game to play his turns in this one?

Do we even know that there is a problem?
If the turn is being held up by Dancemassuse, then there may not be a problem with Aeroprinz at all.

[TheBirdMan]

I am not playing in "3 guns", so sorry, I do not know.

No, Aero in another game has a partner, and I thought bird was in that game, which I now find out he isn't.

Aero does seem to be missing, as does Ken.

i do not understand why I bottleneck. I send out turns 90% of the time in the same day, and the other 10% within 2 days. I do not understand why it happens, but it only happens with a few people. I send to milamber on a regular basis, thebirdman, Dymites, checkmate and we get 99% of all turns always in the same day. If you do not see the turn sent within 1 day then it means I did not recieve it. flameflash you see the turns for our 2x2 games and I am never the hold up, yet at least. I do want to continue playing this game, but if you wish to boot me I understand. I do not mind if it is something I do, but I do not like it when it is something I do not feel I am doing wrong. i went in to my email filters and turned off everything several months back when I had a similar problem. there is no reason for my email to stop anything unless it is being done by aol itself. I get all the notices for sending the turns form other people when they send this turn, so I do not under stand why I do not get the turn. I realize flameflash must be getting the turn when it is sent, so that means the turn was sent. I am playing over 30 games and there are only about 4 of them that this happens on, on a regular basis. I do not believe it is all my ISP's fault when so many other games come in just fine. Agian if you want to boot me ok, if not I would like to continue. I am willing to try some method to check on me getting the turn, but I realize the moderator does not need to keep wasting time on something like this. I will bow to the will of the majority and the moderator. Ken/dancemasseuse

[TheBirdMan]

Easy Ken.

I do not think the "problem" is you.

And though I am not the moderator, then......

[FlameFlash]

Ack!

Ken, my only recommendation is to maybe start watching this thread more... I'll e-mail Don that for some reason his e-mails sometimes don't get through to you and that he needs to post in the forum that he's sent the turn to you so if you haven't gotten it you can e-mail him. That way, we shouldn't see any more of a problem, that drstic of a step (you leaving the game) is hardly needed.

[gumpold]

I have the same problem on some of my games. Some get blocked and some don't. I can't seem to find any ryme or reason to it.

Sometimes spam blocker seems to work "too well".

[dancemasseuse]

yea that is why I went in and took off all my spam blockers. I guess when it gets down to it no matter how much I did not recieve the turn, if I looked at the thread more often, sheepish grin, I guess you are right, I could have prevented this problem too. Ok, I may not have gotten the turn, but I will listen when someone offers good advice and me checking the turn on this thread should have been done by me in the first place. damn I hate that, smile. Ken

oh yea turn 143 to thebirdman

[TheBirdMan]

Turn to Paul.

[Paul]

Turn 143 to gumpold

[gumpold]

I sent turn 143 a month ago. I haven't seen anything since

[FlameFlash]

Since we can't find a replacement for Areo and he's been horribly sick I didn't feel it was right to next him. Will do so if must (and everybody else is getting impatient).

(Same goes for 3 guns, but I hope Keygen would just play his turn there as he's his teammate in that game.)
