Nato Unravelled 1, third thread - Page 2

Hi Guys:

I got the original sends, and the resend from Misotu. I still haven't found a couple of hours to play NU1. I would hate to start it, and have to save in the middle with a reload msg. I got a few small turns played today, so only NUs and one other left to play. Hopefully tommorrow. Sorry for the delay, but RL comes first!

'64 and '95 to Tau ... finally.

----

Sorry for the delay. Still busy, but I'll try to give these games higher priority. They got the short stick this time. Sorry again.

Tau Ceti · August 31, 2001, 10:52

Turns received, but I am going away this weekend and will not be able to play them until Sunday evening at the earliest. Sorry about the delay.

Tau Ceti · September 2, 2001, 17:13

2195 and 2164 to Googlie.

Misotu · September 7, 2001, 08:29

Nato2, 2164 is finally off to Big_C. For some reason I can't save new game files in XFire on the laptop (though I can in vanilla SMAC). I can only overwrite old ones (which came as a bit of a surprise

I only tried overwriting to prove to myself that I hadn't done something strange with directory permissions (or whatever they're called in DOS) ... Still, I think this is OK now.

Mis:

I always overwrite the old game in all my PBEMs - seems to me it's that much more efficient. Hit save & exit, bring up old gamesave, delete, change year, save, zip, send. (only problem is you can never resend the turn without replaying it if for some reason the current save is corrupt)

Hi Googlie, yeah you're right. Anyway, I don't have the space at the moment to keep old turns. I was mostly concerned about it because it indicates a problem with the installation - and this time round, sure enough, I could not save the turn at all when I got to the end. I've reinstalled SMAX, tested it on a completed turn of another crossfire game a few times. It appears to be fine now, saves correctly every time. So apologies for the reload message and 2195 is off to Big_C, finally.

big_canuk · September 9, 2001, 21:59

NU2 2166 to Tau.

Googlie · September 13, 2001, 15:10

NU1 status?

big_canuk · September 13, 2001, 21:09

67 and 96 to Tau. Sorry for the delay on NU1

Tau Ceti · September 14, 2001, 09:47

2196 and 2167 to Googlie.

I got the interceptor crash again in NU1, hence the reload.

Googlie · September 14, 2001, 11:16

2196 to Misotu

big_canuk · September 15, 2001, 08:16

NU2 2168 to Tau. Glad to see my interceptors are crashing Tau.

Misotu · September 15, 2001, 10:13

Go Tau

2196 to Big_C.

big_canuk · September 17, 2001, 15:04

NU2 2170 to Tau. What is the status of NU1. I sent it with NU2 to Tau on 9/13. I'll do a resend, just in case.

big_canuk · September 17, 2001, 15:07

Looks like maybe Tau got and it went around, but I didn't get it from Mis. I'll ask for a resend.

Tau Ceti · September 18, 2001, 14:17

2197 to Googlie.

Coomlinks are back up, election called. Exit polls indicate that Misotu will win reelection, by a margin as slim as 8 votes out of over 1100 cast.

big_canuk · September 18, 2001, 17:58

NU2 2171 to Tau.

-------------

On NU1:

I want a recount!
It was the ballot design!!
What about spoiled ballots!!!
Let's count again!!!!
wha, wha, whaaaaa!!!!!

(I guess America bashing is really not in taste now, poor folks)

Googlie · September 18, 2001, 21:25

2197 to Misotu

big_canuk · September 19, 2001, 13:04

NU2 2172 to Tau

Misotu · September 19, 2001, 13:17

oops - posting late. You can't have a recount BigC, you cheated anyway by *Being Too Big*.

America-bashing may not be fashionable, but I'm still engaging in it with a will. The WTC was heinous, but they're trying to get us into WWIII. And *that* will blow the WTC away, trust me ...

big_canuk · September 19, 2001, 19:59

NU2 2173 movin' right along to Tau.

big_canuk · September 20, 2001, 13:23

NU2 2174 to Tau!

Looks like I'm not the only one searching for time to play NU1!

-------------------

Mis:

Glad to see you have moved to our "sister city" in UK. Should be some stuff availiable to you there describing us. We usually have exchanges every few years.

big_canuk · September 21, 2001, 16:04

NU2 2175 to Tau. Resend of NU1 requested from Misotu

Misotu · September 22, 2001, 04:29

Well, I know I played this turn and sent it off a few days ago, but I can't find it anywhere

I don't have much disk space at the moment and am having to delete turns pretty much as soon as I can, so I suppose I must have deleted this one in error. Sorry.

I have replayed the turn and sent it to Big_C. I can't swear that I did exactly the same things over again, I can't remember all of it. There were no pods, so that's one big variable that doesn't apply.

2197 is finally off to Big_C.

big_canuk · September 22, 2001, 17:12

NU1 2198 to Tau

big_canuk · September 23, 2001, 12:50

NU2 2176 to Tau

Tau Ceti · September 23, 2001, 17:31

2198 and 2176 to Googlie.

Googlie · September 23, 2001, 19:04

2198 to Misotu

Misotu · September 27, 2001, 03:07

2198 is off to Big_C.
