PBW -email

[Yokester]

For a while at PBW if you emailed in your turn, sometimes the game skipped your turn like you didn't send it. Have the chaps at PBW gotten that taken care of?

I'm about to be restricted to a slow modem at times and may not be able to upload my turns via the website.

Thanks

Never happened to me.
Maybe you're sending turns too close to the timeline. Sometimes there's a delay in emails.

Email is not perfect. Messages do get lost. And we run a lot of traffic accros ours. We used to have complaints all the time. Unfortunately there wasn't anything we could do about it. Haven't heard many lately. Not sure if that just means people are dealing with it or if the service has gotten better.

I concur with Andrés suggestion. If you must use email send it early. Don't wait till the Last second. And if you are worried you can send it more than once. The server will only accept one. The code in the subject line identifies it for the game and the turn number and additional emails sent later with that turn will be ignored.

Hmmm.... I wonder if you guys could figure out away to send a turn recieved confirmation. That way we would know our e-mail got through?

Just go to the text based Version of the site and upload it. That is much easier and more reliable than using email to send in turns.

Maybe Geo can confirm this can happen but I seem to recall that I sent a wrong file and the turn processed with the AI doing my turn.
