newbie PBEM game?

[Nigel]

The first time i played it, all i got was the the diplomacy screen, then immoble pieces. I'm not aware of anything i could have phantom-clicked that would have ended movement and not prompted me for the next turn.

I did try reloading saves from various points in the download/unzip process to see if they all gave tampering warnings, thus the 3+ reloads message. The first one i played out worked fine tho.

Has anyone succesfully sent a text message with the diplomacy screen? It seems not to work. I've been carrying on communications through email so far. Should we let such communications go unlimited or restrict it to one message per turn to keep with the intent of the diplomacy screen?

[stuntman19]

I guess I would concur with the one message per turn e-mail idea. Having not met another human faction yet I'm not quite sure how this is suppose to work, anyone know?

[Simpson II]

Turn to Stuntman19.

Usually in MP games people communicate through e-mail all the time, I understand. The only restriction sometimes placed in no e-mails during sunspots. I'm willing to go with 1 e-mail/player/turn if people want, though.

[Darius]

In Velocyrix's strategy guide, he talks about using e-mail and even chat rooms to conduct diplomacy. I think one message per turn is more restrictive than the norm. But then again, I've never done this before either.

[Nigel]

2109 to Prov Simpson

It sounds like the message window on the diplomacy screen is some sort of red herring. If no one feels that strongly about it, how about keeping it social with restrictions only during sunspots?

[stuntman19]

n\p with me, just wasn't sure what the proceedure was

[Simpson II]

No comm during sunspots is fine with me.

I can just imagine trying to spell HELP!! on the map with scout patrols..

[Darius]

Not sure what you mean by "keep it social". Otherwise that sounds fine to me.

[Simpson II]

Nigel,

Dozy git that I am, I only just realized you said you had sent the turn. I still haven't recieved it, so could you re-send? Thanks.

[Nigel]

2109 resent to the absent-minded Prov.

Drat, Darius foiled my plan to subliminally convert you all to the hive philosophy.

Simpson II,

The message with the last turn bounced. It sez your box is jammed full. Can you post when you've cleared it out so i can resend?

[Simpson II]

Nigel, sorry, god, today has just been a comedy of errors.. the box should have sufficient space by now, so send when you're ready.

[Nigel]

Turn 2110 re-resent to Prov. Simpson

[Simpson II]

Thanks again, Nigel. 2110 to Stuntman19.
