headed for home now. it's an arduous 5 minute commute and I'll sign on there

alexman · January 15, 2003, 17:15

Have a good trip!

Dominae's up.

Dominae · January 15, 2003, 17:30

Sir Ralph again (again and again...this is so much fun!).

Edit: Last hour warning, may be a little bit more.

jshelr · January 15, 2003, 17:59

I got ralph's last sav at work, played, sent, posted, fooled around the office, went home played a turn for the earth game, opened a bottle of wine, put the radio on, changed clothes, and then the same turn from ralph arrived via aol. (Sir sends me two copies of each save at two addresses.)

the point of this is to ask whether it might make sense to post saves on the board when going there anyway to indicate your turn is sent. then, when the email floats away in the breeze as it sometimes does, we would have a quick backup

alexman · January 15, 2003, 18:02

The problem is AOL. I often get your save half an hour after you post here. I would hate to waste Apolyton disk space with dozens of saves per day, but if you have no other way, perhaps we should. At least the saves that concern you.

[Edit: well, not often. I guess it happened 2-3 times so far]

Harovan · January 15, 2003, 18:11

To post saves here would be a big waste of space, and imho be not justified for a mere pbem. Our game floats quick enough, or doesn't it? Ah, and re AOL, sure, it sucks.

ok, i buy the idea that to post saves is antisocial.

aol is not only poor, it's expensive. maybe i should shop a bit.

Is it not possible to remove attachments when editing a post?

Good thinking!

Thanks! Hey, anything to keep up this great pace.

Sir Ralph: go go go!

Harovan · January 15, 2003, 18:50

Turn sent. May be I make one more, if it arrives within the next hour at the latest.

Harovan · January 15, 2003, 19:02

Here's the game, in case AOL is late again.

EDIT: removed

alexman · January 15, 2003, 19:16

Did you send the e-mail too? Still nothing has come.

Sent to Dominae.

jshelr · January 15, 2003, 19:25

Yes, and i trimmed the earlier file save from the thread. This is the way to go when we are all around to play.

Dominae · January 15, 2003, 19:27

Off.

Dominae · January 15, 2003, 19:38

Umm, should I be posting my saves too? I'm quite sure Sir Ralph gets my saves within 5 mintues of my sending them (if he checks).

jshelr · January 15, 2003, 21:07

If it ain't broke, don't fix it, IMO.

Good morning Sir Ralph!

Harovan · January 16, 2003, 03:10

Good morning, gentlemen. Another day, another turn.

War on alexman and jshelr.

Have a nice day.

jshelr · January 16, 2003, 06:17

I have to say, this response was a perfect example of civ at its best.

not a bad avatar either although the earlier one was more scary

alexman · January 16, 2003, 09:16

The real fun begins!

War!? Already?! But REX is not even half over!

Ralph's up. Enjoy.

jshelr · January 16, 2003, 11:42

None of us know that Dom exists, but maybe a message could go astray and end up in his mailbox.

Dominae · January 16, 2003, 11:51

Cogito Ergo Sum...as for you guys, you'll believe I exist when I rain my hellfire down upon you!

I was told, that they ganged up against me and will wipe me out, as soon as they get WCs and MWs. I decided to give 'em the war they want, but on my terms and in a time, where the odds are still more ore less equal. I have nothing to lose.
