MP Game - Yarnspinners

magnate · #1 September 20th, 2004, 05:08 AM

Since there's still no room on Esben's server to restart the game, I think I agree with you all that PBEM is the way to go. Since I'm about to go on holiday for two weeks (yippee!), it's better that Alneyan hosts. I'll still award points for the stories (though there will be a short break after next weekend, unless I find an e-cafe in Madagascar!).

All the best,

I have sent a request to Esben for having the files earlier today. In the meantime, I guess we can start getting back on track, and so feel free to email me your turn files for turn 6. My address is alneyan[AT]yahoo[DOT]fr (replace with @ and .), though it should be displayed in my profile.

Do you want to make the switch to the latest patch (2.14) when next turn runs, or would you rather wait until everyone is settled? Using the wrong Version should only result in incorrect combat replays, but avoiding this may be better if possible.

On a side note, I have never done any kind of tech support job, or anything along these lines. That might be why I am still not shivering at the very thought of hosting anything.

Well, me at least, I don't have my turnfile for turn 6 yet...

And I am all for changing to 2.14. I doubt that anyone managed to build a fetish/clam economy yet.

Yes, I imagine those who didn't log into the server before the game stopped will need to get their .trn files.

I too support going to 2.14 at the end of this turn.

*Coughs* Yes, I had forgotten the little detail that some players might not have their turn files.

If someone else besides Karacan did not get her turn file, please drop me a mail so that I can send it to you as soon as I get it.

According to Esben's game page, neither Sheap, Mark nor me took their turns yet. It's safe to assume that the rest received their turnfiles from the server.

I have just received the files, and will be sending them to the players not having downloaded the files from the server.

Sheap has been unavailable for the past ten days due to a "problem" (I am not sure why; real life?), and so he will unlikely have the opportunity to play this turn. Does anyone know more about his absence? Should we wait for him once all other players have sent in their turns?

Edit: Esben's files also included all the turn files for the current turn, so if you had already sent your turn to the server, you do not need to send it back to me. You should still give me your mail for next turn, and/or send the turn file again if you have made changes to your player file.

I am assuming these player files are indeed the ones for turn 6, which isn't a given (it was the same for Arcoscephale, but the dates of some of the player files are too old to be for turn 6). So sending back your turn file would likely be better if we want to play it safe.
