I might take over Japan until he comes back.
Anybody against that ?

JamesJKirk · September 29, 2002, 14:35

I'll email him first and maybe give him a little more time, but aside from that, I have no objection to that, so long as you acknowledge that Japan is a vassal of the United States

JamesJKirk · October 1, 2002, 11:13

winterfritz says he's backed up w/ studying for exams now but'll get to his turn real soon, so I say give him time

winterfritz · October 2, 2002, 20:43

Hey there all; welcome Darius

Thanks for bearing with me through this, my exam-hell... unfortunately, you'll have to wait a little longer for that turn

, as I can't download it properly. It seems to be corrupted or something. Can you send it to me at winterfritz_21@hotmail.com please, Darius?

Darius871 · October 2, 2002, 21:03

Sent.

winterfritz · October 2, 2002, 21:14

Thanks. All went according to plan this time

Our trade ships continue to ply the endless oceans between our islands and Europe.

JamesJKirk · October 2, 2002, 21:25

Aha, now a new problem, fritz, can you resave and send the file to [ , it didn't end in .net, I added it and got the "Failed to load game: File is not a saved game" message, thanks

Darius871 · October 2, 2002, 21:51

That's happened to me too lately; all you have to do is rename the file and type .net after it. Works for me anyway.

JamesJKirk · October 2, 2002, 22:00

Yeah, I tried that and it still didn't work

Darius871 · October 2, 2002, 22:26

hmmm...

JamesJKirk · October 2, 2002, 22:30

Just a corrupt file for some reason, it's happened before and it'll happen again, he may have to replay his turn though, if his copy's corrupted too

Grothgar · October 3, 2002, 15:49

Um surely the reason that it isnt working is because its actually a ZIP file!!! rather than a net file lol. so just save it as a zip file and unzip it lol. Some people hehe

Remember this game is too big to save as a net file

JamesJKirk · October 3, 2002, 16:13

Yes, I understand that, I've downloaded it as a zip file, unzipped it, and the file that was unzipped had no extension ending, so I renamed it and put .net at the end, and the game won't read it

Grothgar · October 3, 2002, 19:16

Ahh i see, well then i dont know whats wrong

JamesJKirk · October 5, 2002, 21:51

Well it did occur to me that it's not even my turn, I don't know why I thought it was, but I go after Germany

Nonetheless whoever actually is next will have a problem w/ the file too

Henrik · October 6, 2002, 02:21

It's France's turn (Jmarks)

JMarks · October 6, 2002, 08:44

Shoot, sorry, forgot and you guys had such a nice tangent I didn't even bother checking it out for myself.

But you guys'll have to wait a bit, I haven't installed this scenario onto my computer yet, and I don't have any time this morning save to give this quick message.

I'll do it later today or tomorrow.

JMarks · October 6, 2002, 21:35

Back on track - the save worked fine for me.

-News from the African Front: Two tribes graciously offer their best resources after our men beat them at arm-wrestling.

-Seige at Bangkok continues

-Seige of Alexandria continues

More news next turn

Henrik · October 7, 2002, 02:10

Another african tribe falls to German investors

JamesJKirk · October 7, 2002, 13:24

President Kirk scrambled through his desk to find the shipment orders he'd written down, but in vain, "It seems like I haven't worked in months, so I just winged it," he proclaimed.

The Carribean blockade has been strengthened, and Spain has been given an ultimatum to move its warships away from the American coast or face the consequences.

As American Trade Goods came ashore north of Berlin, their destination, a German Engineering Corps Colonel insisted on speaking with the trade delegation, then proceded to demand that the United States declare war on Spain, after he was rebuffed, he tried to extort 50 gold from them, in the name of the Kaiser. He then mentioned something about "sparing the wrath of his mighty armies" and scampered off. President Kirk expressed his hopes that this man wasn't an official representative of the Kaiser nor the Chancellor, and that mutually beneficial relations would continue between the German Reich and the United States.

Henrik · October 7, 2002, 13:31

No he certainly was not.
The man in question has been identified, and it was found he had had too many sips of Bavarian beer.
The views expressed where his personal ones and where in no way asociated with those of the german government.
Rest assured he will not make such a misstake again.

(ah the joys of absolute Monarchy

)

Darius871 · October 12, 2002, 02:14

Grothgar's turn I think

Grothgar · October 13, 2002, 06:12

Not much happened, loads of trad units found their destinations.

Darius871 · October 14, 2002, 14:32

yep

Darius871 · October 20, 2002, 20:07

Japan's turn

Darius871 · October 24, 2002, 20:01

Winterfritz, did you leave this game as well?

JamesJKirk · October 24, 2002, 20:39

The word on the street is that he's overwhelmed w/ exams at the moment

winterfritz · November 13, 2002, 22:36

Yeah, thats pretty much it; the education system just generously gave me an all expenses paid enforced holiday from the internet

Sorry for the delay, all.

The exams are almost done, and I have returned to play my turn...

...and nothing much happened

. Japanese traders encountered friendly French ships in the Gulf of Aden and waved enthusiastically at their allies.

Sir Gandahand's Elephant Hunting Technique

A good jaunt in the African wilderness can always be a pleasure, but look out for large angry male bull African Elephants. True to their redundant nature, they gourge anything that isn't of the opposite sex, and hump the others. Eitherway, dangerous for the explorer. Therefore, one must know how to defend one's self against these monsters. Personally I recomend the artillery piece. This weapon of choice should be able to take down a bull elephant in one shot, though for the inexperienced hand is akquard and even dangerous. However, the best defense against angry bull elephants is to prevent there being any bull elephants to begin with. I suggest taking out as many elephants that you can find. Soon, there will be no angry bull elephants left, and one can safely traverse this lovely backwoods called Africa. Remember, tusks are a valuable asset to piano makers. So by killing elephants, not only do you make the world a safer place, but you can earn a good chunk of change too.

Return Next Week for More African Adventures With Sir Gandahand!
