Turns of AXT029 game, third thread

Misotu · March 20, 2001, 12:29

Welcome to the new thread! The old thread for this game can be found here.

2149 to RedFred.

Hi RedFred - I found out that you can select "edit" on posts made by other people, and look at the raw information they've typed, even though you aren't actually permitted to make edits on the post itself.

This is really useful for finding out how to do all the clever formatting stuff. Choose a post containing the required feature, select edit and then examine what comes up - you will see the raw information displayed as it was typed originally and before the board turned it into the pretty stuff. You can even cut and paste this text into your own post, and then modify so it works for your situation.

Tau would be astonished to know how many of his posts have been cannibalised by me

That is OK, I stole all my knowledge of these things from zsozso's posts in the same way.

A new thread, a new half century.

2150 to Alinestra.

Somebody is going to have to explain to me how to link neatly like Misotu just did.

Misotu · March 21, 2001, 12:52

Heh - well I'm glad I'm not the only one who can't do these things by instinct

2150 off to RedFred.

RedFred · March 22, 2001, 01:27

Thanks for the tip, Misotu. 2151 to Alinestra.

Really? It's neither in my household email, nor in my personal yahoo account.

You didn't send it to Dr Benway did you?

*confused*

RedFred · March 22, 2001, 15:46

I sent it the same place as always. I received an odd message from hotmail telling me that the e-mail was "delayed" but that I didn't need to resend!?

In defiance of the evil Micro$oft empire I will resend. I'll try both the normal "enixine" account as well as your "amazonian" account. Is one of these the "Dr Benway" account?

- RedFred, equally confused

Googlie · March 22, 2001, 23:12

well, one must have worked 'cos I got the turn, played it, and sent it on to Misotu (2151)

Alinestra Covelia · March 23, 2001, 05:57

Sorry, it's an in-joke. Dr Benway gets no emails because he has the fewest online friends (to whit: none) and doesn't use the internet much. So whenever anybody else's emails go missing, we always blame Benway.

I should move away from using Hotmail, as well. Not only does it spam your email and those of others, it's also truncating all the filenames so I have to rename them, thus wasting a good 0.54 seconds each time! Just think of the man-hours!!!!! GONE TO WASTE!!!!!!

RedFred · March 23, 2001, 16:35

I see. You blame everything on Dr. Benway. I prefer to blame everything on Hotmail myself. 2152 to the Hive.

On the filenames, my O/S likes to only display the first six characters of filenames so I have no clue if Hotmail is truncating.

Misotu · March 24, 2001, 01:20

That's odd though ... hotmail doesn't do that to my file names. I wonder why the difference?

Aki has started to build the WP by the way.

2151 is off to RedFred.

Alinestra Covelia · March 24, 2001, 06:10

On to Googlie.

(LOL, you'll get a replay message - inadvertently deleted the file right after saving - instead of previous turn as I usually do - and had to replay. Only diff was 1st time popped a 25 credit pod, 2nd time popped a xenofungus growth - not so LOL - but at least I'm the Gaians)

Oh - and we are pleased to announce the completion of The Merchant Exchange (Lady Dee's Chief of Staff is one Nwabudike Morgan who extolled the virtues of the Merchant Exchange to her incessantly until she caved in)

Misotu · March 25, 2001, 01:52

Congrats on the ME (gnash!)

2152 off to the Prophet ...

Alinestra Covelia · March 26, 2001, 05:43

I just did that accident typey thing again with my username, but I don't have enough energy for another round of Anagramania

Turn sent to Googlie.

Googlie · March 26, 2001, 08:59

2153 to Misotu

The Gaians are pleased to announce the completion of their Special Project, The Weather Paradigm.

Googlie · March 26, 2001, 09:04

(oh, and sorry for the reload again - I hit "save & exit" instead of OK whem loading, and if you've ever done that, you know that you can cancel and it brings you back to the password screen, but when you do enter, everything has moved for that turn - that's no fun, so I exited and came back in again.

(OK, I haven't woken up yet - it's 4:30 in the morning here on the west coast - don't ask)

Getting the ME was neat - I saw that The Consciousness was building it, but didn't know how far advanced they were. So I cashed in my crawlers, but miscalculated. Sold some facilities, and was still short, so called up Aki and borrowed enough to rush build it. I guess she was chagrined.
