Re: New PBW game - Great Experiment 3
 

Geo,

I thought the game was back on fully automatic turns. We're about 6 hours over the Last turn deadline. Did I misunderstand? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif

Re: New PBW game - Great Experiment 3
 

Hehe, thinking of my sanity makes me glad I turned it over to someone else. Seems the game is STILL crawling.

Hang in there, LC (hehe...your initials are what I use to name my light cruisers http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif ).

Re: New PBW game - Great Experiment 3
 

So impatient... Geo disabled auto processing Last night, as the server was taken offline for a few hours for maintenance. The plan was to turn it back on by noon, though I forget the timezone he listed. There is another thread where he posted about this.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Regardless of the other thread, I was merely commenting on the slowness of the game (missing the deadline a significant number of turns so far) and how happy I am to have gotten out of it. That's all I was speaking about.

Re: New PBW game - Great Experiment 3
 

Well, only join small games in the future then. Games with nearly 20 people nearly always have some players miss each turn (not the same people every turn, different people). This is especially true when the turn duration is less than 48 hours.

Yes Fyron, Slynky has already decided that's what he's going to do.

Sorry about the turn. I intended to have it back on at noon and had to leave for a while today. It's back on now. The turn shuld be running momentarily.

If Geo could gently crush the "next turn" button, I think my happiness would soar up !

Re: New PBW game - Great Experiment 3
 

I appreciated the extra time for the Last turn. My computer is now back in its place and working much better. However, it was strange to miss the turn and have all of my construction queues empty. I won't let that happen again!

Having two ships propelled me into 1st place though...Greybeard

Re: New PBW game - Great Experiment 3
 

I'd like to give Rimfire just a bit more time. It's entirely possible that he has tried to get his turn in the Last two nights and been unable to because of the server problems. I will shoot him an email though.

Oh this is great! I finally made first contact (peacefully) and soon I might even leave my home system!!

Things are just racing along now! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: New PBW game - Great Experiment 3
 

Somebody please just find me and come put me out of my misery in this game. I've explored seven systems around me so far: two nebulas, one trinary w/o planets, and four normal systems completely devoid of breathable planets. Sigh. Don't guess anybody wants to jump in and take my spot do they?

No, he said he wasn't quite dead, but nearly so. I will wait a bit to see if anyone wants to give his empire a shot, and then mark it dead eventually.

Re: New PBW game - Great Experiment 3
 

In case you didn't get the email, the game is back on fully auto turns, but at a slower pace for now. I have set it up to run a turn this sunday (June 5th). If you haven't done your turn and you are planning on continuing in the game, get it in by Sunday or let me know if you can't. If you've had enough of the game feel free to drop out. We'll find a replacment or let the AI run it. Well run one a week turns (Faster if everyone gets their turn in) for a couple months and look at speeding things up in the fall.
