04 to Sparta.
When I said that everyone should play atleast 1 turn /day, I really didn't mean that all seven turns would be played in one day. Well, I don't complain

2104 to Knowhow. And I really liked the relatively expedient pace...

Well I see that things are moving along nicely so far.
Cogradulations guys !
Chaunk, could you send me a copy of turn 2105 ? Just for my own testing purposes as CMN, and to see how my native life forms are doing.

chaunk, could you please resend. I think you send me the wrong turn. When I load the 2105 file, I get the 2104 turn in the game.

I've resent, but checking my sent mail folder tells me that it's the same turn I think. Hrm.
Also sent to KK.

Ok. We got a problem here. Something must have gone wrong. Instead of the 2105 turn, I get the 2104 turn. The question now is what we are going to do? KK, what do you think?

I've been working on this since 12:00. (Apolyton time). Doesen't seem like it can't be resolved.
Just waiting to hear back from Chaunk via e-mail...

The game might have repeated a year. It's happened to me before in one game. I could try replaying the turn, but I've deleted it already. Perhaps if Knowhow2 could resend?

Thanks Chaunk ! 
I've e-mailed knowhow2.
As for the rest of you... It's a good idea to keep a few turns from the past in case this happens, not only in this game, but others as well that your playing in.

most likely someone sent an older file somewhere down the line.
kk's right. you should keep some older files, however, move them to another folder, and only keep the most recent stuff in the alpha cent save folder.
also of note, is that usually what happens when i save a game, the save dir is defaulted to the main alpha cent dir. i.e
program files\firaxis games\sid meirer's alpha centauri
so when i save, i always have to switch to the program files\firaxis games\sid meirer's alpha centauri\saves directory.
if u check the program files\firaxis games\sid meirer's alpha centauri directory, you might find a few unintentional saved games there, especially multiplayer ones.
another thing to note is that you should always rename the save file while your saving, by adding the person you're sending to into the name. avoids the confusion of sending the wrong turn out.

I've played the file I got off of Chaunk all the way to 2110 (four times), and once to 2125. Everything seems fine. I've verifyed production, research rates, and energy incomes as well for everybody. The only thing that I can see is that someone misslabeled the file somewhere along the line, or it's another one of those unexplained bugs that crop up from time to time. I'm waiting for a reply, and a last saved file from knowhow2. As soon as I verify that one, I'll let you guys know.
smhfan86 gave some good advice on top of mine. Another thing I've found useful, especially if your in several PBEM games, is that: Playing all the turns to all the games one after the other can lead to saved game's files all over different directories and/or having them misplaced somewhere. What I do is; play one at a time, save and label it, zip it, and send it out immediately. Then repeat for the next... Yes it's tedious, I know, but one screw up, and it retards the whole game for everybody.
Patience freinds ...

I'm somewhat confused about this, it doesn't seem like I played this at all, no reload warning.
I've sent what I'm now fairly certain is 2105 to Phobos. Sorry for the delay.

I've just rechecked, Phobos. Are you sure you didn't reload the old file by mistake ?
Chaunk, did you send Phobos the same file as you sent me (RP-2105.sav) ? After playing the turn of course.

solution: before sending the file, rename it by adding xxx, then send it to both phobos and kk. phobos, load xxx, and test it out. this way, phobos will not load an old file by mistake, i.e. it'll be pretty easy to spot.
and if chaunk sent the wrong file, kk will be able to tell that too.

Okay. Lets get to the bottom of this. 
Phobos; send me the file you got from Chaunk.
Chaunk; send me the file you sent Phobos.

Chaunk. Resend the file to make sure you didnīt send me the wrong one and if this doesnīt work may I suggest a solution? We could always try to replay 2104 and see how that goes....

There are 6 other people waiting to get this on the road. this is a localized problem. It can best be solved with one central person. Thats me. The CMN.
Sorry if I sounded harsh...
