That's a new one on me.

PBEMs are run in .net multiplayer format, that means that all screens automatically closes after a while (to speed up the game for the other players, which aren't there

).

Hmmm, in my experience they do stay open as long as you do, something, relatively often though (scroll the list, for instance)...

I figured that the advisor screen closing had to do with the fact that the game was being played as multiplayer. For me, no matter what, after a little bit the window I'm looking at will close, regardless of whether I'm scrolling or anything

JMarks · June 3, 2002, 21:24

*Bump*

Who's turn is it anway?

Henrik · June 4, 2002, 01:23

Grothgar · June 4, 2002, 01:53

Grothgar · June 4, 2002, 13:42

Britain sends out hundreds of unit, took me ages

also britain declares the english channel offlimits to everyone but british ships, or anyone wishing to pay a toll

Henrik · June 7, 2002, 09:48

BUMP!

winterfritz · June 8, 2002, 03:43

Its Russia's turn, Ecthelion.

Ecthy · June 8, 2002, 05:31

1. Noone ever asnwered my question.

2. I never received such a thing as an email from any of you.

Ecthy · June 8, 2002, 05:32

At least not a "saved game, your turn" one.

Exile · June 8, 2002, 05:47

No, Andz, the version you have, that Henrik sent you, is the same one that everyone else is using.

When Groth posted, in his last post, the attachment, that's your signal to download it, play your turn, and then do the same afterward or send it in an email to the next player (in this case WinterFritz), whichever method you prefer.

Ecthy · June 9, 2002, 15:14

Someone could have told me.

BTW, there are several faults in the volga area... make:

zarizyn --> rostov
saratov --> zarizyn

and you should be fine

the game is attached.

I propose an all peace agreement for the first 500 years.

French Merchants Leave In Droves

French Merchants finished outfitting today and will soon be leaving their ports. Their desteny? Far away to countries unknown. Money made from these transactions will be siezed by the government and used to outfit more merchants. Hopefully they won't catch on.

Egypt Head of Assasination Plot!

Last month's assasination of French government officials have lead to deep investigations. The conspirators have not only been in North Africa, but were headed by the Sultan of Egypt! This outrage will not go unpunished! French military is heading out to take care of the Sultan to right the wrong that has been done. Anyone found helping the Sultan will really piss off the French government.

Bangkok Advances on Saigon!

Two artillery battalions have left Bangkok and are advancing on Saigon! French citizens in Saigon are advised to armthemselves against this threat as the military in the region dig fortifications out side the city. The navy is blockading Bangkok in the hopes of cutting off their army's supplies.

Ecthy · June 10, 2002, 06:06

Do I have to write such stories?

Ecthy · June 10, 2002, 06:06

I'll just have a try:

Russia wins the game.

Was that good enough?

JMarks · June 10, 2002, 09:12

No, ecthelion, but it is nice if you do. It lets us know you care and want to be part of the community.

Ecthy · June 10, 2002, 10:33

hmm... I'll see what I can do.

winterfritz · June 11, 2002, 05:58

Er, JMarks: Isn't it Japan that plays after Russia, rather than France?

Ecthy · June 11, 2002, 09:09

You guys should all be banned from the game so I stay the ultimate winner.

On a more serious note, I wouldn't be so certain of that, it is possible that the civs are arranged in a way different from the standard way.

Henrik · June 11, 2002, 09:28

The player list is the one I posted earlier in this thread:

Quote:

Russians (Grothgar)
Japanese (Winterfritz)
French (Jmarks)
Germans (Henrik)
Americans (James J Kirk)
Brittish (Exile)

Ecthelion The play order is allways the one listed in the scenario start dialogue, ergo, the japanese goes after the russians in this scenario.

Note: The list should say Brittish (Grothgar) and Russia (Ecthelion) now...

JMarks · June 11, 2002, 10:36

Oops, my bad.

Sorry, thought I remembered the first list being wrong on something so I checked further down and evidently missed Japan's turn! Sorry, go ahead.

British Warships in Japanese Territorial Waters
Ships of the Royal Navy have been spotted carrying units off Formosa and islands in the Ryuku chain - waters that come under Japanese jurisdiction.

Japan demands an immediate explanation from the British government as to the purpose and destination of these ships and a formal apology for the violation of Japanese territorial rights. The Japanese government reserves the right to forbid these ships from using our waters should they object to the British plans.

Grothgar · June 12, 2002, 14:28

Britian wishes to assure the good old slant eyes that the ships are there by chance and are carrying freight units and are en-route to american waters. Britain also mentions that you have 22 units in your entire army/navy whereas britain has 190 units, of which 70 are in that area of the world, so while your concerns are justified there isnt a thing you can do to make a blind bit of notice

have a nice day...

JMarks · June 12, 2002, 18:53

Sorry for the fuddle.
I guess I'll go jump in a puddle.
Or eat some hay,
I just may.

Same headlines as before, new post.

Henrik, your turn.

Soundwave · June 12, 2002, 19:11

if anyone wants to drop out or is wanting to stop, can i play coz i tried it finally and its soo good!

JamesJKirk · June 12, 2002, 22:08

Yo Japan, heads up from the ol' USA, before you get all steamy, there'll be a unit or so of freight heading your way in a few turns, and probably more to come. So if you don't want my ships and their freight units around, then I'm sure I can find other people who would like them just fine

Henrik · June 13, 2002, 02:51

The Brittish gearing up for war?
Germany objects to the brittish agressive and provocative behavior in the straits of Gibraltar and the brittish channel.
Brittain has no right whatsoever to any of these waters.
Neither France nor Germany has done anything to warrant such a blockade, and a continued formal blockade of French and German ports will be regarded as an act of war.

If Brittain cannot respect international agreements and laws maybe she ought to be teached a lesson in mannors...

JamesJKirk · June 13, 2002, 19:12

United States blockade Cuba, Haiti and Puerto Rico
In responce to the default on loans to Spain, and political turmoil in Haiti, the United States have sent a cordon of ships to encircle these isles and prevent traffic from entering or leaving them. No one is sure of where this crisis is going, but there are reports of troop movements in the southeastern US.

Freighters expected to open new era of foreign trade in next month or so
Ireland, Germany, Spain, France, Russia, Japan and India can all expect a boom in trade with US soon.

Engineers begin so-called Southern Trans-Continental Railway
Work has begun on a link from Galveston to Santa Fe, which is presumed will lead to a link all the way to San Diego.

Turn played and sent to Grothgar

French Officials Royally Pissed
French People Democraticly Pissed

Yes, the straight of Gibralter has been on the minds of every French citizen, especially colonists in Oran, who believe they have as much right to pass the straight as do the upitty british in their yatchs based in Gibralter. Thus the French government requests that the British stop the blockade in the name of goodwill and free trade, and free love. This expensive stuff is killing us!
