I named three, just in case someone else would like to have the same one...

(or one of them was allready taken)

Zero · December 31, 2002, 15:40

Japanese, chinese, arabs

If any of them is taken just give me whatever.
if all three is taken i dont mind getting random.

FrustratedPoet · January 1, 2003, 08:30

Random for me.

alva · January 1, 2003, 13:04

Random is still fine by me too BTW,...

Adagio · January 2, 2003, 08:15

I'll be playing random too... I'll (re)start the game in a few hours

Adagio · January 2, 2003, 10:18

And the game has begun... again...

alva · January 2, 2003, 11:07

turn sent...
it is the same order, isn't it. I didn't check it

Eugh, adg, do you have modded something??? If not, this games IS jinxed

I could be wrong, but I don't think I have seen this before...

FrustratedPoet · January 2, 2003, 12:30

The max should be 40 turns. The game is either modded or bugged. Both are bad.

Do you want me to play the turn?

Adagio · January 2, 2003, 12:44

Oh, sorry... I thought I had changed everything back to normal

I'll restart in a few hours...

alva · January 2, 2003, 12:54

Incredible...................

unbelievable......................

Best thing to do is patch 1.14 again..

Adagio · January 2, 2003, 13:04

Hmmm... maybe someone else should start the game then, since I have trouble when re-installing the game (When re-installing it takes many days, and many re-installs, to make it work again...)

But I think, I have changed everything back to normal... everything except more city names...

Zero · January 2, 2003, 15:35

371 post with struggling to do one turn...

19 pages of thread... the one and only "Pbem anyone?" thread.

Adagio · January 2, 2003, 16:08

Yeah, nice isn't it

Adagio · January 2, 2003, 16:19

I have now re-re-re-re-re-started the game, let's hope it works this time

Adagio · January 2, 2003, 16:22

Btw, it's still this playing order:

Ok, game is underway

ADG, what are the things that still could be different

There's two other things I have had changed, but not in PTW. Those things are:

Americans set to sci/ind
Scout/explorer have an increase of 1 in movement

As far as I remember, I haven't had other changes than those

I don't have to be worried seeing tanks early middleage then...

Ah well, alternative reality then éh

Don't worry, they're obsolete at that time

What...? slow but steady.....

hmm,ok, very slow...

FrustratedPoet · January 3, 2003, 07:15

Save sent to Calc (I sent it last night actually, but just thought I'd let people know where it is).

Zero · January 3, 2003, 19:38

Save succesfully recieved. Spam filter now recongizes that email address.

EDIT: Alright guys, take a deep breath. I got a "NOT A VALID SAVE FILE" message. Im gonna try redownloading and if this doesnt work FP has to resend it to me.

Double EDIT: Yeah I need another save. Its not working at ALL

Zero · January 3, 2003, 19:49

Here's what we need to do::

First of all, FP needs to resend me that save. The one that works hopefully. Check to see if it works for you if you havent deleted it already. If not try replaying the turn and save again and see if you can load the game.

Also, in my other PBEM game with GhengisFarb, unorthodox and hot_enamel (I know.... all GoWs... :eep: ), we made four games and voted for the best save file. The one that got least amount of points (rank being points) and preferrably didnt have any 4th ranking vote was chosen as the game. This way we can avoid further restarts in case someone lands on starting position similar to GoW's fake one in PTW demo forum.

alva · January 3, 2003, 23:26

Both Trip and NYE had problems too with receiving mails..

Hmm, a team game, now there's an idea

(I'm not laughing with Calc here, ok...serious, i'm not. Just have a look at FP's next post..)

Sounds like a good idea calc, allthough I'm not sure I understand it 100%

You're using hotmail too, aren't you?

In my other PBEM game, I also have trouble downloading the file (The player who sends to me, also sends the file to himself, so he's checking if the wrong-file-size error comes from the sending or the recieving. He gets the correct file, but I don't... so it seems to be a hotmail problem

)

I have an ftp open, so he can send the file to me, but I guess I can't share that one for now, since not all have played their turn, so not everybody has set a PW yet... Do you have an ftp, he can send to?

I'll replay my turn and send you the file again Calc. Maybe it is a hotmail problem, but in using hotmail to download the saves for my PBEM's there have only been file corruptions twice, and I've been in 4 or 5 PBEM's so far.

Adagio · January 4, 2003, 12:45

It's usually not a problem, but lately it has been a problem.

I usually use msn-explorer (as e-mail program), normally it has a special msn-explorer email page, but about 3+ weeks ago they changed it, so we're only using the standard hotmail site, through msn-explorer... It shouldn't cause any problems, but it might be because they're doing some new stuff to the email system...

FrustratedPoet · January 4, 2003, 12:57

Save replayed and sent Calc again.

/me has his fingers crossed.

Zero · January 4, 2003, 13:13

played as soon as i got a msn popup. Save is corrupted.

In a 4 player game with gf, unortho and Hot_enamel, there was no problem with hotmail.

also the turn you sent me the first time (the one with ur turn unplayed) worked perfectly fine and that was thru hotmail
