Aredhran · June 2, 1999, 03:35

This is the second installment of the thread dedicated to posting the "Turn sent to ..." messages for my Challenge.

Keep'em turns rolling !

Aredhran, CMN

MariOne · June 2, 1999, 04:19

thanks, swift CMN, a brand new blank slab for me to leave footprints on!

2137 PK -> 2138 Gaia (ViVicdi)

HMFIC · June 2, 1999, 11:07

I guess it goes without saying i completed my turn and sent it to jimmytrick last night.

cousLee · June 2, 1999, 23:45

turn to the Provost

JAMiAM · June 3, 1999, 00:16

It is now in the money-grubbing hands of CEO Goob.

Goob · June 4, 1999, 01:05

My pockets are money grubbing but my hands are clean. Anyway turn to HMFIC

HMFIC · June 4, 1999, 16:11

2138 to jimmytrick

Capt Dizle · June 4, 1999, 18:08

Turn Complete

MariOne · June 7, 1999, 00:18

Heck, how did I configure Outlook at work?
Why can't I do it again @home?
Ohwell, if you don't get my mail, maybe you read this:

send me the turn at home TOO:
masque@tiscalinet.it

I may be playing it tonite

cousLee · June 7, 1999, 03:49

Turn to Jam

JAMiAM · June 7, 1999, 04:06

Turn to Goob.

MariOne · June 7, 1999, 04:17

I assume ViVicdi got the turn I sent him from home tonite. I wonder how MANY times he received it, I kept getting smtp errors and tried about 10 different configurations, but none error-free, so I thought he didn't get it!

Goob · June 8, 1999, 01:51

Turn to the Colonel

Capt Dizle · June 8, 1999, 21:45

How many posts in the first thread? Let me do the math, ummmmmmm, well, ummmmmmm, looks like 3,456.4 posts and hmmmmm, 64.8 days per mission year.........this will have us finished just before the release of Civ8 in November, 2012.

God, this game rocks!

HMFIC · June 8, 1999, 22:42

2139 to the whin-er

Capt Dizle · June 9, 1999, 01:09

Turn to MariOne

MariOne · June 9, 1999, 09:08

2139 PK -> 2140 Gaia (ViVicdi)

sleep lost, grip slips
(grip sleeps, slip lost?

)

Capt Dizle · June 10, 1999, 09:08

to err is human, to whine...divine

I have asked my boss for a vaction day, September 27, so that I can play my next turn...

JAMiAM · June 12, 1999, 14:27

Speaking of vacations... I'll be on one from 10:00pm 6/13/99 to 10:00am 6/19/99, all times are PDT. If, perchance, this game comes around to me in this time frame, please forward to Aredhran. Then again, at the rate this game is plodding along, you all probably would have never noticed. Have we even averaged one turn per week? If the game goes on for 200 turns, who'll still be playing 4 years from now?

HMFIC · June 15, 1999, 10:41

Unite behind me as Supreme Leader and then you all will no longer have to be concerned with turn turn-around.

MariOne · June 15, 1999, 19:31

We can tell HMFIC is a real SMACer: he stutters like a voiceover "... turnturn-aroundround"

JT, why don't you come to Oktoberfest in Germany with us instead, 18-19 Sept 99? ( and anyone who's interested)

Aredhran · June 16, 1999, 03:19

"US" being Mario and myself for the moment.

Aredhran

PS: I looked a the thread list and thought "great, 2 new posts, we're rolling again", but then I saw they were only blah

WHERE IS THE TURN ?

Goob · June 16, 1999, 09:38

What about a new rule. If the turn sits with one person for more than a week then most recent sender resends the turn to CMN who plays the turn for the recalcitrant player, who just loses his turn. If someone "skips" two turns in a row this way then they are out of the game.

I mean really I will SMAC until my fingers bleed from clicking the mouse, but averageing a turn a week is ridiculous.

Hell, if ViVicdi were to post that he is in Tahiti with a half dozen super-models then I could at least deal with the silence.

I apologize for assuming the turn is stuck there and not with the seemingly always reliable cousLee.

The Game must go on!

Goob

HMFIC · June 17, 1999, 14:09

Im with Goob...come on CMN, earn your pay!

Aredhran · June 17, 1999, 16:47

WHAT PAY ???

Ok, I'm gonna send an ultimatum tonight, and ask for the latest turn (MoSe) to be sent to me again.

Aredhran

cousLee · June 17, 1999, 17:30

I double checked my folders, and I did play a 2140 turn. It was in a zip file, so i had sent it to the next player (Jam). I might have forgot to send it since I didn't post. If this delay was my fault, Then I am sorry. With Jam being on vacation, no way to tell if it's sitting in his inbox. SO,

"AC_2140UoP.zip 6/9/99 11:57pm" sent to the CMN.

Does anyone have a more current turn? (again, Jam is not able to check, cause he's getting .....)

JAMiAM · June 19, 1999, 19:47

Okay folks,

I'm back. I don't have any turn. Has it been resolved past the point where Aredhran played for me? 2140, I assume. Has everyone forgot to post here?

JAMiAM

Aredhran · June 20, 1999, 10:33

As per my e-mail messages, I took UoP 2140, and sent it to Goob. Then the CEO send me a note saying he was at the hospital with his wife giving birth, so I took Morgan turn as well and sent it to HMFIC.

I could not post here before, because the forum was broken (see note by MarkG)

Aredhran

HMFIC · June 21, 1999, 15:13

Im not sure what to do here...I just got turn 2140, which I have already played... Id be happy to turn it around and keep everything going, but y'all threw me a curve with this one.
Standing by for enlightenment....

Capt Dizle · June 21, 1999, 20:03

Send it to me and I'll play it for you.

Maybe we should try to play backwards to the beginning!

I have a better idea. First one to disband all our bases, WINS!

Aredhran is starting a new game. Hi-tech Challenge. That one will run twice as fast. That will make it the second slowest game on Planet.

Ran across JAMiAM in the ACOL chat room. He told me he was UoP in AC. My neighbor! I DIDN'T EVEN REMEMBER IT!

Last turn 6-9-99! Its not AREDHRAN's fault cause he's not playing, it's our fault cause we ain't playing!

jimmytrick,
