Well, at least Machaka is in last place with something.

I'm middle to bottom of the road on most graphs, coming in last on dominion. Grrr!! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image.../firedevil.gif

Yeah, they have really good chairs in that province, must have a "Chair Artisan Guild" site http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: PBEM game: The first step (Running)
 

Or they have a pub. Really good ale...

>hic!<

Re: PBEM game: The first step (Running)
 

C'mon, they are giants. They probably just got confused walking around and don't know what to do now, because they forgot already. So they're just standing around waiting for instructions. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: PBEM game: The first step (Running)
 

Okay this is really odd. I shot a turn back (inside of 15 minutes) after I got the latest turn yesterday. I've been waiting for the next turn to happen and then it turns out folks are waiting on me. Sorry to everyone if this is my fault but maybe I'm not getting all the emails?

Alneyan, can you do a read confirmation receipt on 1 or 2 emails to me to make sure they are getting to me?

Thanks.

Re: PBEM game: The first step (Running)
 

Aha! You're the culprit! hehehe Just kidding. I was on a mini vacation the last week, so I was slow submitting a turn or two. But I'm hoping we can get in a few turns this weekend. Things are just now getting interesting.

I am not sure how mail receipts work, but I will try it out. You are not the only one who failed to get turns lately; I believe Yahoo's SMTP has been having a lot of trouble recently. I will probably try to send my mails from Gawab's SMTP from now on, though I am not sure if there will be much of an improvement.

It is very odd that I failed to get your mail however. You should use both mails (a standard reply should result in that) to reduce problems on this end: if there is a problem on my side, having two mails should solve it. Of course, if you have a problem sending mails too, it will not help much. Sadly, I believe most problems are likely to be on the side of the sender, rather than on the receiver.

New turn is being sent.

Re: PBEM game: The first step (Open)
 

I was wondering, other than death sites, what kind of sites can cause an increase in unrest?
Also, it seems that my cold scales are none-existant (that is, not a single one of my provinces is cold, including the capital!), is there any explanation other than I somehow forgot to take my cold scale? :\

Re: PBEM game: The first step (Open)
 

Blood sites cause unrest.

If none of your provinces are cold then you forgot to take your cold scale.

Re: PBEM game: The first step (Open)
 

You should expect your temperature scale to be different by 1 from the picked value, most of the time, due to the climate. If you have seen no Cold provinces in 18 turns, then you did forget to take the scale (and with Cold 2, you should have at least Cold 1 even in summer, and Cold 2/3 in the other seasons).

If a province gets 15 unrest per turn, you should search for Blood sites: only one site gives that much unrest (if memory serves), and it will allow you to summon one devil per turn. 5 unrest per turn is usually a Brigand's Lair, but not always.
