Race for the Prize turn tracking thread

Darsnan · March 23, 2003, 09:45

This is the turn tracking thread for the SMACDG'er game called "Race for the Prize".
The Premise: an external camera on the Unity survived planetfall, and is still broadcasting images of the surrounding terrain of where Unity now rests, via the Main Dish Antenae. Each of you have previously sent out an expedition to try to salvage the contents of the Unity as well as lay a claim to the surrounding terrain, only to have each of your expeditions disappear mysteriously on their approaches to the Unity....

The players, in order, are as follows:

GeneralTacticus - Aus

Archaic - Aus

Maniac - Europe

Hercules - Europe

Cedayon - North America

TKG - North America

MisterWhereIsItAt - NZ

Edit: I am waiting on GT to send me his E-Mail address in order to send him the turn (thought I had it, but I guess not...).
For those that didn't choose passwords, I will PM shortly with your password for this game.

I hope you have fun with this, and if you have any questions, please feel free to drop me a line.
Also, when this game is done, if you could just provide some feedback as to what you thought I did well (or didn't do well) as far as being a CMN, then please let me know so that I might improve in this arena for future games.

In case it is of assistance right now, the email address I will be using is

Wehaveclearanceclarencegranvisimo@student.vuw.ac.nzRoger,roger.what'sourvector,victor?

Minus the obvious spambot beaters, that is.

Maniac · March 23, 2003, 17:05

Archaic, please send my turns to Wehavelandedsafelycaptainpeter_steenbeke@skynet.beandarenowopeningthepoddoors. When that doesn't work some reason, please use my hotmail addy Damnitmyfeetarewetpeter_steenbeke@hotmail.comIshouldn'thaveopenedthedoorsyet.

In all my other pbem games I had the e-mail of the CMN and the other players. Handy for emergencies and long diplomacy talks which can't be done in the little in-game box. So could everyone please post an addy here?

2102 to Archaic.

Archaic · March 25, 2003, 08:09

2102 to Maniac.

Maniac · March 25, 2003, 14:22

Turn played. I'll send a PM to Hercules asking for his e-mail adress.

Archaic · March 25, 2003, 18:48

thisiscathal.mullaghan@ntlworld.comHerc'semail.

Maniac · March 26, 2003, 07:56

Okay thanks. I'll send the turn when I get home in a few hours.

Is TKG's addy known?

Archaic · March 26, 2003, 08:25

He was on the old 3D list, wasn't he?

Maniac · March 26, 2003, 10:41

RftP MY 2102 sent to Hercules.

Quote:

He was on the old 3D list, wasn't he?

Not a clue. That list has been erased from my favorites a long time ago.

Maniac · March 26, 2003, 20:03

TKG was so friendly to mail me his addy, so this makes the list almost complete:

Darsnan - CMN - xxdnandal@twcny.rr.comxx

GeneralTacticus - Morgan - xxangusniven@hotmail.comxx

Archaic - University - xxarchaiceternal@hotmail.comxx

Maniac - Pirate - xxpeter_steenbeke@hotmail.comxx

Hercules - Gaia - xxcathal.mullaghan@ntlworld.comxx

Cedayon - Morgan - xxcedayon@hotmail.comxx

TKG - Morgan - xxTKG34@hotmail.comxx

MisterWhereIsItAt - Consciousness - xxgranvisimo@student.vuw.ac.nzxx

Maniac · March 29, 2003, 10:08

Can we assume Hercules is no longer participating? Reactions? Solutions?

Darsnan · March 29, 2003, 10:11

Heah Maniac,
from my understanding Herc is out of town till Monday. Also, my E-Mail addy:

yourcmndnandal@twcny.rr.comforthisgame

Maniac · March 29, 2003, 10:32

Ah yes, I completely forgot about that.

No worries then.

Remarkable addy btw!

Edit: Ah of course! The "yourcmnforthisgame" isn't part of the adress.

Hercules · April 2, 2003, 12:19

I am back. turn 2102 en route to Cedayon.( came here to get his addy)

Please note, As I played my backlog of games, I used up my meagre virtual memory. I thought I had enough but when I opened the game I got the ' unable to draw buffer' error and the game closed. Hence notification of my replay.

So the prize is the unity area and contents?

Maniac · April 2, 2003, 12:53

Indeed. Though of course the real goal is winning.

MrWhereItsAt · April 2, 2003, 19:34

Yay! It's moving again! I do have a chance to beat Cedayon to the wooden spoon!

Cedayon · April 2, 2003, 21:16

I've not gotten the turn... perhaps it got put in my junk folder and was deleted accidentally?

Cedayon · April 3, 2003, 15:29

Still no sight of the turn on this end... I don't want to hold y'all up, but there's not much I can do...

Hercules · April 3, 2003, 18:49

I've resent the turn. It's sent as a zip file. I believe Hotmail is under pressure at moment.

Hercules · April 6, 2003, 11:41

Any joy with resend?

Cedayon · April 6, 2003, 15:45

Nothing on this end. It may have been lost in the junk mail. I'll try manually adding your address to the allowed-in list.

Darsnan · April 6, 2003, 16:00

Heah Guys,
another approach might be for Herc to attach the file here in this thread, and then Cedayon can download it from there. FYI in case you still are having problems.

Cedayon · April 6, 2003, 16:04

I'm fine with it being posted here, would be simpler due to the limited size of my hotmail inbox.

Hercules · April 7, 2003, 09:07

Ok here goes.

Cedayon · April 7, 2003, 10:33

Turn played, save sent on to TKG. It'll probably say something like "Cedayon might have used save/load", but that's because this is my first PBEM and I had trouble getting my password right. I only played the turn once, honest

Method · April 7, 2003, 15:05

i'll try a quick reinstall, as i have a small problem it seems. see below
