Re: Land Rand (pbem)
 

this thread sure is boring due to the whole rand-i-ness :(

Re: Land Rand (pbem)
 

Are you joking, randiness is never boring, its all over the place on a college campus :D Randy women everywhere!

Re: Land Rand (pbem)
 

I will be out of town and away from internet access from Oct 23 - 25 for a funeral. Could we make it a long weekend pause for this game please?

Thanks

Re: Land Rand (pbem)
 

Yes, of course.

Re: Land Rand (pbem)
 

Hello:

Turn 10 is out.

Deadline is Wednesday at 9:00 p.m. Boston time.

Thanks.

Pasha

Re: Land Rand (pbem)
 

With Pasha out of town, what email do we send ours turns to now?

Re: Land Rand (pbem)
 

I suspect Pasha will distribute my email with the next turn, but if you ever need it, you can PM me on the forums. If you've been in a game with me recently, my email hasn't changed.

I look forward to abusing every last scrap of authority Pasha cedes to me while he's away.

Re: Land Rand (pbem)
 

djo, should we be sending turn 11 .2h files to you?

BTW, I just clicked your name in my gmail's "to" field and it automatically populated it with an email address. Presumably yours, presumably gmail remember such things, hope gmail got it right :)

Re: Land Rand (pbem)
 

do pasha games have any sort of numerical score graph system like llamaserver does?

Re: Land Rand (pbem)
 

Djo, don't know if you noticed, but I'll be out of town over the weekend without internet access. I can do tonite's turn, but that will be it until Monday.

Thanks

Re: Land Rand (pbem)
 

Wraith: I just emailed Pasha to see who's doing the Friday turn. I did get your turn and forwarded it back to Pasha just in case.

namad: not sure exactly what you mean, but I doubt it; we do everything by hand.

Lingchih: yes, I saw the earlier post on the forum. It would be great if you could post, PM, or email me when you return so I know we're clear to resume.

Re: Land Rand (pbem)
 

Will do djo. I'll be back Monday mid-day, should do my turn right away, then I'll let you know.

Re: Land Rand (pbem)
 

I don't leave until Saturday.

I have sent everyone an email with the details, etc. I'd like to host Friday's turn, and then let djo take over from there.

Thank you again, djo.

Pasha

Re: Land Rand (pbem)
 

Turn 12 has hosted! Anyone not seeing the turn, let me know (and check your spam folders if you've never gotten mail from me before).

Next turn is due Monday, to accommodate Lingchih. Assuming we're doing Pasha's usual schedule, that will put us on track for turn 15 on Thursday, then 16 on Sunday (having moved to 3/week).

Re: Land Rand (pbem)
 

Hi all - back now.

A big thanks to Hadrian_II for subbing for me while I was away.

Re: Land Rand (pbem)
 

wouldn't every 2days be monday wednesday friday?

Re: Land Rand (pbem)
 

Traditionally Pasha does Tues/Thurs/Sunday for 3/week (once turn 15 is reached).

Re: Land Rand (pbem)
 

Oh, do we need to slow down already? I'd be happy with 24h hosting till turn 20. Maybe we can stick to that unless someone objects?

Re: Land Rand (pbem)
 

OK, missing one player's turn, but not the one I thought. We're delayed another day.

Re: Land Rand (pbem)
 

Turn 13 is out. Orders for the next one are due Wednesday.

Re: Land Rand (pbem)
 

I'm missing two turns. I'll host tomorrow evening if they come in.

Re: Land Rand (pbem)
 

did you email the people who didn't get their turns in?

I did my turn, and i think i sent it to you... but it's possible i never actually included the attachment or never even sent it...


if I did send the file for my turn perhaps whoever didn't send it simply thought they did and as such needs it pointed out they didn't?

Re: Land Rand (pbem)
 

Yeah, I did this a few turns back. :o

Re: Land Rand (pbem)
 

I'm not into nag emails.

I should have listed who I'm missing, though: I do not have turns from Ulm and Bandar Log.

Re: Land Rand (pbem)
 

Turn 14 is out. The next one is due Friday. Send your turns to me for this turn, even if the schedule slips (easier that way). The next turn after you can send to Pasha.

Re: Land Rand (pbem)
 

I am missing turns from Zeldor and Wraithlord. Send them to me for this turn. Pasha will do the next one.

Re: Land Rand (pbem)
 

Hello:

I am back. My email indicates that Wraithlord might need a brief extension through the weekend due to business travel. I received his turn 14, however. I will forward it to djo, in case that is the turn he's looking for.

Thank you, djo, for hosting.

Pasha

Re: Land Rand (pbem)
 

Thanks djo! And welcome back Pasha!

Re: Land Rand (pbem)
 

Are you referring to # 14?- I've sent it to both you and Pasha. Also, I just resent it now. Please tell me whether it has arrived.

And thanks for stepping in for Pasha!

Re: Land Rand (pbem)
 

I've got WraithLord's turn. I think there was one other I'm missing...I'll host later this morning if possible.

Re: Land Rand (pbem)
 

Thanks for hosting djo.

Welcome back Pasha.

Grand Canyon biggest hole in the ground I have ever seen, I did it the easy way via plane.

Re: Land Rand (pbem)
 

I lost Internet yesterday and wasn't able to get on my computer in the morning, so just now - I will send the turn soon, sorry for the delay.

Re: Land Rand (pbem)
 

Turn 15 is out. I propose the next one be due Sunday and then Tuesday/Thursday/Sunday thereafter, but Pasha will make the final decision.

Send all turns to Pasha!

Re: Land Rand (pbem)
 

What is the status of our Caelum player and current plans on rollback? I don't want to pour over the final details of my turn if it turns out we are rolling back, thus I havn't sent anything in.

What's going on?

Re: Land Rand (pbem)
 

just as a note to anyone who ever plays dominions 3 pbem...


NEVER SET YOUR NATION TO AI.

you can just stale, the game admin can decide to set you AI but there is no harm in staling and then going ai ... if you go ai right away there is no way to undo an ai-ing

Re: Land Rand (pbem)
 

We're doing a rollback, based in part because a majority of players were in favor of it. See email sent to players. I expect to host the new turn tonight.

Thanks.

Pasha

Re: Land Rand (pbem)
 

Hello:

Turn 14 is out. (With the rollback. I think I got it right.)

Deadline is Wednesday at 9:00 p.m. Boston time.

Thanks.

Pasha

Re: Land Rand (pbem)
 

Hello:

I have received some comments that I am being too flexible about late turns. I used to be pretty strict and staled late players unless a player requested an extension. However, more recently, it has been my understanding that players wanted me to be more flexible and stale players only in extreme cases.

It does not matter either way to me. What do players want?

More often that not, players will occasionally miss a deadline because of technical issues. The email got lost or he thought he sent in the turn but did not (and correct the problem promptly). However, some players are routinely late, which can spoil the fun.

Feel free to comment on the forum but be careful not to give clues of your national ID.

Thanks.

Pasha

Re: Land Rand (pbem)
 

I dont mind waiting a day or two every now & then for a late uncommunicative player, and give further allowance for those communicative players who make prior arrangements with Pasha for delays. Sh!t happens, can't see the need to rush.

...plus I've been a cause of delay in the past due to untimely technical and/or PEBKAC issues, so not trying to be hypocritical here either.

PEBKAC = Problem exists between keyboard and chair, BTW. :)

Re: Land Rand (pbem)
 

I don't think you should go to llamasever extreme. Not at all. The flexibility that you're offering is good. I also don't mind waiting every now and again. I would probably recommend though that you be less accommodating in case one player repeatedly forgets to send his turns on times w/o asking for extension. I'd even suggest that you state that policy so that it would be clear to all players.

Re: Land Rand (pbem)
 

I prefer flexible turns and don't mind waiting.

Re: Land Rand (pbem)
 

Well, I am ok with flexible schedule, but it may be necessary to stale someone, or some people may get too relaxed and just slow the game too much.

Re: Land Rand (pbem)
 

I'll admit the delays have gotten a bit excessive/annoying (I actually joined Warcry because the hosting on both rand games has gotten so slow), but I'd still prefer a well-run game over a fast one.

Re: Land Rand (pbem)
 

I'd be ok with you (pasha) using a little discretion. The better off a nation is, the more significant it staling would be. There are some nations right now that it probably wouldn't matter if they staled or not.

Re: Land Rand (pbem)
 

I'm afraid I've been a staling player in several of Pasha's previous games. Not in the current one but who knows what the future holds. *knocks wood* Given that, I think staling the uncommunicative player is all fair and good, but of course some host discretion is alway a good thing.

However you deem fit, etc.

Re: Land Rand (pbem)
 

Your hosting regimen seems fine to me Pasha. Sure, we have to deal with an extra day quite often, but that's really no big deal. Most of my comments on IRC about "just stale him", have been in jest.

Re: Land Rand (pbem)
 

Hello:

Turn 15 is out.

Deadline is Friday at 9:00 p.m. Boston time. After this turn, we switch to the Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday schedule.

Thanks.

Pasha

Re: Land Rand (pbem)
 

dangit... this version of turn15 went less well than the last one :-/ oh well

Re: Land Rand (pbem)
 

Pasha, I think you always do a fine job. I like the flexible schedule as well, and I think you should continue to use continue to your discretion.

Re: Land Rand (pbem)
 

Hello:

Turn 16 is out.

Deadline is SUNDAY at 9:00 p.m. Boston time.

We are now switching to a Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday hosting schedule.

Thanks.

Pasha
