Default Re: PBW Down? - Back up!

It is not too difficult. We used to play by e-mail all of the time. Then we figured out the PBW and realized how great it was.

Anyway...here is the scoop.

You must have a copy of the Last gam file that was sent. (Any will do, but the most recent is best.) Then have all of the players send their plr files to you.

Put them into the save game folder.

Load the program

Load the game

Indicate that you are the host (the Last player on the list.

Put in the master password for the game.

Run the turn.

Send the gam file to everyone and wait for their plr files.

If there are any errors, you can probably sort it out. The most likely problem is that the first round of plr files will not be the right turn. For the players that have the wrong turn, send them the old gam file and ask them to play that turn, even if they have played it once before.

I hope this is helpful.
