looking for an early age pbem game (completed)

[Nerfix]

Nice pace we got.

[Ichtarian]

I agree...problem is...that just quickens the pace of my complete and total destruction.

With fewer players the faster pace is really nice!

Even with just 6 of us in this game, 4 out of 5 moves often arrive in my mailbox within an hour or two, and we have to wait much longer for that final one because of differences in our personal schedules and timezones.

Without a 24 hour deadline in between moves, it is easier for any player to keep postponing the completion of their move for another day or two, but doing this can be inconsiderate when the other players wish to keep the game moving along.

Our provision for player timeouts lets all players know if the 24 deadline has to be temporarily suspended and when players can expect the game to continue.

None of the rest of us really know what we are doing either, Ichtarian, so the army of fish may be the strongest after the dust settles on the mainland!

What dust ??? Sounds like I have to get home to take a look at the turn...

Ichtarian, remember we have very little means of fighting you underwater.
And well, the dust will yet start to rise, I believe.

So, I see the patch is out. Are we going to patch up for turn 11?

Hmmm...yes...that is true. If only I could get my Kraken to slither onshore.

I would say not quite yet, since some of us are playing in other PBEM games.

Page 31 of the manual says that a host must patch before using files from players who have patched. So if a player has patched for one game, but is playing in another game where the host has not patched yet, there could be a problem hosting his turns.

I suppose what is needed is a consensus to patch among game hosters for current games in this forum, so that all PBEM games are updated with patches at the same time.

[CelestialGoblyn]

I'd be fine with patching up myself, but I won't insist.

[solo]

I've just read in the forums that mixed versions will not cause crashes, so I will apply the patch before hosting this turn. Just in case something does get fouled up, the current game files will be backed up into another folder before I host #11.
