Hey all. Unfortunately, my main hard drive suffered a terrible crash. Bad sectors and all that crap... hmm... I'll be unable to play for the next few days until I get things back to semi-normal. Thanks for your patience... (if it gets unbearable, we'll figure something else out at that time)

-Contact- · September 3, 2002, 18:15

The game is still going on???
I thought it died...

SPasmofiT · September 4, 2002, 02:04

I'm still here. I image everyone else remembers their passwords too.

John Paul Jones · September 17, 2002, 02:22

From what i can gather from looking at my inbox and this thread, the current (maybe current is too optimistic) turn 2134 was last sent from SpasmofiT to Contact.
Deja vu, yawn...

No hurry, just curious.

The last I've seen was at Sonntag, 1. September 2002 13:57 my file sent to SPasmofiT - gabrielm@fx.ro file Capitalists' World - Spasmofit-Hive, 2134.SAV

SPasmofiT · September 17, 2002, 14:06

I didn't get it. But I wasn't one of the original players, so my email isn't with the others.

Regardless, welcome back, and hope everything's okay.

-Contact- · September 20, 2002, 18:53

Holy cow this is still going on???
stupid forum emails don't reach me :P

So it would be helpful if you send me your

duMa · September 21, 2002, 13:57

If this isn't the most screwball game I've ever...
Ah well.
At the top of this thread, there's a link called 'Receive updates to this thread'... click it, Contact.
At least for the next few turns, SPasmofiT, could you regularly post on here that you've sent your turn, because Contact's email server is obviously pretty damn flaky.

duMa · September 25, 2002, 23:42

Hello? Contact?

Dreifels · September 26, 2002, 00:58

btw, where the file is? I sent it at 09-18 the 2nd time to Spasmofit spasm@xnet.ro

duMa · September 26, 2002, 04:13

It was sent to -Contact- on the 19th, so the board says. What say we get a replacement, unless Contact's email account starts to function?

duMa · October 5, 2002, 04:40

So, is there any interest in continuing this game, besides my own?

John Paul Jones · October 5, 2002, 05:53

5 weeks since the turn was originally sent to -Contact- , and after reviewing the thread i second the call for a replacement. SpasmofiT , could you attach the last turn here plz ?

more deja vu

SPasmofiT · October 5, 2002, 08:37

I don't have any turns at this point. I lost my HDD... it seems that Maxtor drives have a 2 year planned obsolecence.

Dreifels · October 5, 2002, 10:24

too bad. and now? send again to you? you have installed smac again?

duMa · October 5, 2002, 10:41

Aha! Life, and it's not in the form of red worms!

Okay, what's the best way about getting a replacement? Should we contact Googlie? Is that normal procedure to contact the CMN for somethin' like this?

Hard Drive Crash: Odd.. heard of a lot of that stuff going on lately. Mine was a Quantum (now Maxtor) and 1.5 years old... still under warranty, thankfully!

SPasmofiT · October 5, 2002, 12:07

Yes. I have SMAC. Email me my turn as soon as you can. Thanks.

Capitalists' World - Spasmofit-Hive, 2134.SAV
sent 6. Oktober 2002 11:39

SPasmofiT · October 6, 2002, 08:14

Who do I send it to?!

duMa · October 6, 2002, 09:16

I've sent an email to Ados, to check if he's still in the game.

I've also sent a mail to Googlie to see if he can get us a replacement. Since -Contact- is the next in line, and out of commission, we've got to wait. We're used to waiting though, by now, I'm sure

I doubt it'll be a problem once we lock down on a good group.

I've 5 other broken games, where one or two exit. maybe if we collect the stabile player of all broken games, we'll get one or two new which we can play until the end.

(I'll make a mailing list, at las the more secure way, as I so see direct who looks in his malbox regulary and who not)

Ados · October 7, 2002, 14:24

I'm still here. Sorry, was going to answer the roll call, but never got around to it for some reason.

SPasmofiT · October 7, 2002, 14:45

Still waiting with the turn?!
Is Googlie around? Does he have -Contact-'s password?

duMa · October 7, 2002, 16:16

I sent Googlie a message through Apolyton's email system... but it's possible he hasn't noticed it. It's not overly obvious, I've gone months without noticing I've got mail here. If anyone knows his regular email, I can send him a message to that... I thought he had it posted in this thread, perhaps I've overlooked it...

Dreifels · October 8, 2002, 01:52

I never liked this message system by browser here and at other forms. I expect that anyone has an email address that he ready regulary, and such is normal much faster and better to control.
I also don't like player who only are able to reach by a forum message and not by email. This always includes the danger of player exits and broken contact what means end of the game and no replacemant possible.

Dreifels · October 19, 2002, 14:46

again: sent Capitalists' World - Spasmofit-Hive, 2134 at Sonntag, 6. Oktober 2002 11:39 to spasm@xnet.ro
