Hey all,

Nice to be playing a game with you guys and I hope it will be fun!

First turn sent to the Peacekeepers.

joer · May 6, 2000, 00:58

Greetings all!
Turn sent to Kaz. Won't be back until this evening to make the next move, but am usually faster (and more wordy).

Turn to Adam_Smith,

The Spartans came with tears in their eyes.
The Spartans came with revenge in their hearts.
Santiago was was dead, and someone would pay.

Adam_Smith · May 6, 2000, 01:53

turn sent to those smart guys who are easy to sneak up on.

The Believers came with fire in their hearts. Someone will BURN! BURN THEM! BURN THEM!

Cedronian · May 6, 2000, 08:51

MY2103 is sent to joer.

Ced.

joer · May 6, 2000, 19:10

And back to Kaz.

Oh, lookie, I get to play with the big boys for the . And they all look so dangerous down on me. Please have mercy upon me...

kaz · May 7, 2000, 02:09

Turn to Adam_Smith.

I'm pissed. Something was wrong with my turn. All my moves on all my units were used up WHEN I OPENED THE SAVED GAME.

I got to play exactly NOTHING!

I might as well have not gotten a turn.

joer · May 7, 2000, 03:59

Sorry, Kaz, I've got no clue what happened. Do you want me to resend the turn?

Adam_Smith · May 7, 2000, 11:30

It sounds like a bug. kaz, did you try to take the turn over again?

Adam_Smith · May 7, 2000, 11:42

I have turn 2103, but I'm waiting to see if kaz will take his turn over.

kaz · May 7, 2000, 16:50

Ok, I've played the new turn sent by joer, and have resent it to Adam_Smith.

Expect a Save/Load Message.

It's called AXT017spartan2.SAV, I think. The "2" part is the important characteristic.

joer · May 7, 2000, 18:01

Just to clarify things from my side:
I did my normal turn, sent it off to Kaz (AXT017-spartan-2103.sav). When I saw his post, I just redid the move I got from Ced(got the same lucky pod pops as before, which is why I didn't mind it

), saved as (AXT017-spartan2-2103.sav) and sent it again to Kaz.
So Kaz summed it up, pretty much. The "2" is the important thing, and you will get a message that I loaded the game twice.

Oh yeah, and I've cc'd the message to Adam as well, just to let him know what's up. So he's got the turn for Kaz as well, but he can throw that away, since he can't use it (without password).

Hope everything works now.
-joer.

Actually, I have two turns and I'm not sure why.

Cedronian · May 8, 2000, 09:58

Turn sent to Spartans.

kaz · May 8, 2000, 23:55

Turn to Adam_Smith.

Adam_Smith · May 9, 2000, 00:36

turn 2105 to UoP

Cedronian · May 9, 2000, 11:59

MY2105 sent to the Peacekeepers.

Ced.

Adam_Smith · May 9, 2000, 14:56

still waiting. it must be in route

Adam_Smith · May 9, 2000, 14:57

please send again kaz. ICQ if you want.

kaz · May 9, 2000, 16:13

Joer just sent me his 2105.

Anyone know why?

And I'll resent my 2105 turn tonight if it doesn't get there by 6:30 Pacific time(which is when I get home from work). From now on I'll keep all my turns on the yahoo! server so that I can resend them from work or home.

joer · May 9, 2000, 18:08

Huh? Now I am totally confused.

I sent Kaz the Spartan 2105 zipped file at 9:04 Pacific time. Reading the board now, I assume that he received that correctly, played his turn and then sent it on.

I did not send anything else to Kaz until I received the message from him saying that he got my turn, instead of his -- which is when I sent the same file again.

Did a phantom mail from me appear somewhere in Kaz's mailbox? Or did I miss something entirely different?
-A very confuddled joer.

joer · May 9, 2000, 19:04

Harumpf!

Ok, I checked, and Kaz was right: The turn I sent to him was indeed my own turn, even though I am sure that I already played it.

So I just reloaded the old one, got exactly the same pod pop results as before, and then checked to make sure it's Kaz' move now.

Which means that you will all get a message that I have loaded the game a second time. I think there went something wrong with the setup. No idea, really.
-joer.

joer · May 10, 2000, 00:04

Turn sent to Kaz.

kaz · May 10, 2000, 00:17

Turn to Adam_Smith.

Adam_Smith · May 10, 2000, 00:56

turn 2106 to UoP

joer,

I always do that. Just send the correct turn. Don't take it over.

joer · May 10, 2000, 08:42

Turn sent to Kaz.

kaz · May 10, 2000, 13:07

Ok, I sent the first 2105 turn that joer replayed to Adam_Smith. That was yesterday. Joer sent me another 2105 today.

May the gods save us from bugs and play-by-email turn mixing.

Cedronian · May 11, 2000, 09:47

Hey guys. I will be gone until sunday so I won´t be able to make any turns until then. Sorry about that.

Ced.
