Welcome back Soundwave!
Glad to see you!
Are you going to replay your turn or just go with what James did?

JamesJKirk · June 29, 2002, 22:21

Smaug · June 30, 2002, 20:40

Dr. Nick · June 30, 2002, 21:19

If he hasn't played it by tomorrow night, I'll play with what we have.

Except it manages to be even harder when transcribed into the Roman alphabet, much more inconsistency, well at least for those of us who aren't fortunate enough to be aquainted with the language and the internationally accepted transcription.

Stormbringer · July 1, 2002, 12:52

it's not really hard at all.
You just replace the sound with the closest combination of letters in English

A gde ti nauchilsia Ruskomu?

JamesJKirk · July 1, 2002, 14:36

Yeah, i just usually have to resort to sounding out phonetically in my head or outloud that way

v skohlu, i tei?

JamesJKirk · July 1, 2002, 17:57

Whoa, it's apparent that I do not have that font installed, do you have a name/link for it?

...

(Being mindful of getting back on-topic) Um, has anyone decided on a partition of Africa yet?

The ANZAC · July 1, 2002, 20:33

I suggest we hold a conference to partition africa ASAP. I'll be playing my turn now. Thanks Case, that must have been hard work there

James: go to View on the menu bar then encoding, and then Cyrillic.

I didn't even download the game files

JamesJKirk · July 2, 2002, 03:19

Thanks ANZAC, that makes it much easier

Stormbringer, in that case, I'll try not to embarrass myself too much with my poor grammer/vocabulary/everything else. Damned declension!

Stormbringer · July 2, 2002, 14:11

Your grammer wasn't that bad, just a few wrong conjegations... It's much more than I would expect from an ammerican....

JamesJKirk · July 2, 2002, 18:26

I just completed my 3rd semester of Russian. I realized I should have said at university rather than at school. It is difficult, in that there are so many regular rules, which is sort of the opposite of how English is, I still like learning it though. But you understood me, and I understood you, so that's what matters.

Stormbringer · July 2, 2002, 19:30

yes I understood you fine.

Back OT: who's turn is it??

Pavlov · July 3, 2002, 13:34

President returns from trip, blah blah

So, nothing has happened, I'm honestly surprised.

Stormbringer: Looks like it's El's turn UNLESS Soundwave shows up and says....something.

USA demands that if a conference on the Africa-issue is held, the protocol will be made official. This to ensure that non-participating nations won't be pissed.

Also it will help global understanding, yada, yada..

Germanus: Thanks a lot for, uh, being prepared to substitute. Honestly, otherwise I would have been all nervous and so. Cheers.

Soundwave: I'm NOT trying to kick you out, but if you are so busy perhaps you should get a substitute for this PBEM. Now if you are sure that you will be able to play within resonable time in the near future then everything is just fine and dandy. However, I wouldn't want to see this game stand still for a week (!) again.

*phew*

Excuse me, I'm off to read the thousands off OT-posts I've missed.

germanos · July 3, 2002, 14:21

Dear President Pavlov,

it's been my pleasure to stay in the Oval Office for a while. I had quite some time to kill, and I found the stagiere quite helpfull. I took the liberty of smoking a few sigars. (didn't inhale though)

If I can be of service again, just give me a ring.

Germanos.

P.S.: say hello to Monica for me.

Smaug · July 5, 2002, 00:57

Lets get this scenario moving again.

The Kaiser beiieves that a partition of Africa is neccsesary so that German interest in this area can be protected.

btw is Soundwave still playing or has JamesJKirk taken over his duties.

Pavlov · July 5, 2002, 06:46

Ok, Soundwave, let's get this straight. You can't just come in, say: "Give me my Russia back!" and then not actually play your turn. It's not good enough.

I say: Go ahead El. Soundwave, you're just going to have to wait until your next turn. But if you don't give us some substance (like, a savegame) by then, you should be replaced. I don't want to have to go through with this every time it's Russias turn.

Dr. Nick · July 5, 2002, 17:39

Ok, Japanese merchants travel the world.

Can I ask the Russian player to please NOT zip the file if he doesn't have to, thanks.

Stormbringer · July 5, 2002, 19:24

France lifts the unintantional(I was sure I left one square open !

) blockade of Hong Kong.
The traders travel through the world. Farther preperations for an offensive in Northern Africa.

Stormbringer · July 5, 2002, 19:25

here is the save

Smaug · July 6, 2002, 09:47

The Kaiser has proposed the new colonial act. This proposal will make sure of growth in the East Indies and Africa beginning with the construction of factories.

Pavlov · July 6, 2002, 13:34

I've downloaded the save (btw, "France.zip", are you sure it's the right save, Smaug?) but I'll play and post tomorrow.

Managed to drag a laptop along to the countryside and now I'm sitting inside avoiding the sun.

JamesJKirk · July 6, 2002, 14:33

El, with this game, as I imagine you saw, you have to zip the saves for the Apolyton server to accept them. In the future, I, or Soundwave if he returns for good, I imagine, can send the unzipped file to an email address if you want

Dr. Nick · July 6, 2002, 15:44

James, yeah, I realised that when I tried to attach it without zipping.

Don't worry about it, I'll just deal with it.

The ANZAC · July 6, 2002, 16:20

Does anyone know why this save file exceeds the limit and others don't

PS I know it's the size,

but why is this bigger than the others?
