I realize your team has been having some difficulties. It's just extremely frustrating having to wait 3 days for a single turn to be sent in, for a game that's been waiting for 2 months to start. Anyway I am not trying to complain, just venting.

Hosting went smooth (knock on virtual wood)
Its down to 3 scripts. Pre host doing backups. Hosting script. Then Post host mailing out the turns. I ran each separately this time but I think they are ready to merge into one automation script. Thanks all for your patience.

Once everything is complete I will post a thread for pbem games laying them all out as skeleton examples for others to use.

Well, it looks like TC staled. But Rabbit did have 16+ hours from notification till host to resubmit. Algae, please let us know if you are able to determine what the problem was, assuming it was not a quirk.

I've asked our co-admin melnorjr to give a summary every 5 or so turns (similar to what rdonj did last game) to keep players, alternates, and anyone else interested informed on how things are shaping up for each team. Melnorjr can either do a brief stat summary or a sports/commentator :rant: sort of piece.

Looks, like Hinnom and Neifel :tough: have gotten an early start muscling their way through indies.

Actually, the reason we hadn't hosted was a corrupted turn from a different team. SS and gandalf have contacted that team, with no reply so far.

Animate Dream: could you please contact me, and/or give me a method of contacting you?

Hmm, commentary'd be interesting.

Re: Noobs & Vets: Rise of the AI Menace. EA, BI, Running.
 

12 turns in so far for turn 2, including TC (though don't know if it came up as corrupt again or not). Great job. Looks like things are smoothing out. :cool:

Stay in touch with your teammates and keep the forum/other communications going.

Re: Noobs & Vets: Rise of the AI Menace. EA, BI, Running.
 

OK, I sent my turn 2 to our Noobheim@Yahoo address.

The way I understand it is Isend it there and chris forwards it.

If I need to be sending it somewhere else please let me know.

Re: Noobs & Vets: Rise of the AI Menace. EA, BI, Running.
 

Due to the vagaries of email delivery, there is no way to know when a turn is actually due....

Re: Noobs & Vets: Rise of the AI Menace. EA, BI, Running.
 

I think it is forwarded to gandalf automatically when you send to the Yahoo address....

Re: Noobs & Vets: Rise of the AI Menace. EA, BI, Running.
 

Or maybe that was CP sending on my turn :p
