I recently joined 3 games in at the PBW site.
1 game I took over for a player, 2 others I joined from the beginning. I started with really nothing, and attempted to make the best of it, and I felt as though I was doing well. Unfortunetly, I missed a turn yestarday, and todays turn would not allow me to access my race. I withdrew.
Recently, the second game started, after nearly a week of doing nothing. I opened my mail today, and discovered that it was up and running on turn 2. I withdrew because I could not access my race. This angered me greatly enought to say "F-k it!" Invalid PW is a *****, especially since I should know it.
The 3rd game has not yet started, its been over a week now, and still nothing. I am about to withdraw from it.
I think PBW is awsome, and really enjoy reading other peoples Posts about the games they are in. Now that I have SEIV working correctly to play it, its getting into a game that will run smoothly. I was the weak link in these games because my scheduled did not permit me to be on the PC 24-7, and that caused some lag for the other players. (I am very sorry about that.) I am not that familar with the PBW gaming system to know if or how a turn is forced, but I do know that if it is forced, the player should still be able to log onto his race for the next turn. Not being able to log on simply means: "Go the hell away." So I did.
I think I will start a game, a new game, one that will serve, for me, as a learning tool.
