Ok, it's decided then
PBEM and we'll size it down from a HUGE planet to something more manageable, probably LARGE. One AI player if SmartFart's out which I believe he is. It will probably be Gaia's Stepdaughters so we can have an eco-friendly faction in the mix. If you want me to hold passwords since this is a friendly game, send them to my e-mail at Arcainite@aol.com. If you think we need a neutral party to hold the passwords and set the game up, I'm still looking for a volunteer. Any takers? We'll give you a hug!...

I don't mind Arcainite holding the passwords. It's just a game for fun.

Ok, if I don't hear from you in 48 hours we're starting the game without you and you will be replaced by AI. Thank you for sending me your desired passwords waab, Lazerus, Phobos, and Sprayber. Hopefully we can start this game by Wednesday if not sooner.

The game has begun
I just hope I did everything correctly. The game order is as follows: Arcainite, waab, AI #1, Lazerus, Sprayber, AI #2, Phobos. Good luck everybody, and remember to have fun.
Arcainite (Data Angels)
PS - this is my first time playing as them.

do we need a turn tracking thread or r we just gonna use this ?

btw since i havent messed around and tried all the multiplayer options yet im guessing PBEM goes something like this:
get saved game in email , put it into save file , load game , goto multiplayer and load file , take turn , save and send off to next player. That about right ??

So its waabs turn right now ?

One quick question. I'm assuming we save it as the same name we got it as.

Just hope you got it worked out?
I'm still waiting to start turn 2, so apparently Phobos still hasn't gone yet? Or else he just hasn't sent out the turn to me yet. So shall we stick with this thread for our turns then? Or start a new thread now that we HOPEFULLY know what we're doing?

OK the problem was when I save a scenero ,and it appears multiplayer, it doesn't save it to the save files but it appears outside where the general files are. Dont ask me why, cause i dont know. Any way that should be the correct file.

Turn 2 well underway
It was the year 2102 and the Data Angels were fortunate not to have encountered any hostile aliens yet. Go Data Angels! Go Data Angels! It's your birthday! It's your birthday! Watch, now I just probably jinxed myself for the next turn. Hope not! Anyway, it did say that Brother Lal of the Peacekeepers may have taken an extra turn, but I am going to assume that's just because of the aforementioned difficulties so I'm not worried about it. Have fun folks! Let's see how fast the Free Drones can move..

Okay I guess it is time to give some instructions. To get a save file that is something worthy for the next player you have to correctly end you turn.

You shall get up a new box with the next player in turn. And there you shall press save and exit.

Arcanti resend the turn please I can't play it...
