Re: Server vs PBEM
 

If it's a short-term sub, wyrm or not shouldn't be a problem. Alneyan could maybe even do it real quick-like. Nothing of great consequence is going to happen in the first couple turns anyway.
Well, aside from my brilliantly appropriate Robert Frost quote... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif
If it would be a longer-term sub, it might as well be a replacement, in which case it's not a big deal to wait for the new Mictlaner to put together a pretender and restart the game.

Re: Server vs PBEM
 

What's shovah's intention? Does he have a specific problem he wants to solve, or does he want to bow out?

If he wants to solve whatever problem he's seeing, could he give a more detailed description of the problem? As in, several sentences (in the same post) telling us exactly what he tries and exactly what errors he sees? (Start with: are you running Windows? What files do you see in your "mods" and "maps" directories?)

I'd hate to have someone leave due to technical issues, but on the other hand, there has to be a lot of cooperation when solving these problems remotely.

If he's out, I vote for giving a permanent replacement a few days to submit a new pretender. Candidates might want to speak up now.

Re: Server vs PBEM
 

I agree that we should give shovah a chance to express whether he is in or out of this game now that he knows that this is a play-by-email-game.

If shovah is out, then I suggest that we find a replacement, but also RESTART the game so that the replacement can design his/her own pretender. We have not even finished turn 1, so no big deal.

Re: Server vs PBEM
 

I'm down with this.

Shovah, speak up, lad! Give us details.

Re: Server vs PBEM
 

This morning, I resent him the turn file plus sent the mod file. He will have that when he gets home from school in England shortly.

I will be back Sunday. You folks can decide what to do while I am gone. If shovah decides to come alive, fine. If not, and we get a new player, then Alneyan has all the files for redoing the first turn, including loading the new pretender design on the COW site.

shovah - it's on you.

I tend to be quite intolerant of people who don't do what they say. I suppose that comes with age. Perhaps that was why I seemed a bit harsh on shovah in my post last night.

Re: Server vs PBEM
 

I'm with Panther - I mean, it was stated pretty early that it was going to be PBEM. And for someone to wait the week or two it took to get the game organized and started and then to start mentioning they're incompetent with files, don't like email, etc, etc....

Get a new player, I say.

Re: Server vs PBEM
 

Enjoy your trip.

I am also in favor of a restart, should shovah bow out.

Re: Server vs PBEM
 

im home, i havnt recieved anything in my email and i have tons of stuff comein out, if you want you could maybe give some1 control of me for first few turns and then make me ai as i have so much stuff to do now i probably wont have time (school tests, a few camps ect)

Re: Server vs PBEM
 

Ugh, I don't mind a restart so much, but I had a nice story about starting in "Silver Woods" instead of Vanheim. Better that we have dedicated players than my rambling prose, I spoze http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Re: Server vs PBEM
 

Heh, I already wrote (and posted!) about my starting position. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif Maybe I should put a more obvious link to it. Do we have a page for writing about each turn?
