PBW Down? - Back up!

[Fyron]

If there is anyone out there that wishes to play there game PBEM and the owner is not willing to do so, let me know. I will offer to take the game over and run the turns myself. Either myself or someone else. If we have a group of players wanting to go and the only thinkg holding them up is a game owner, we can find a new game owner.

I certainly hope you wouldn't hijack someone's game without their permission...

Well then to them I am saying that it IS possible to play without PBW. My point stands. But thanks for the info.

Has it occured to you that maybe a lot of people that are hosting games on PBW do it only because hosting it on PBW takes very little time, whereas doing it via PBEM takes a lot more time? Not everyone has time or desire to go through the hassle of processing turns manually every time.

There was only one extended down time of PBW (prior to this mess), and that was from hardware failure. The other downtimes were short ones, hardly anything to be complaining about for a free service.

It's hard for me to argue this point effectively. I have to say that Tuesday will tell the tale. According to the DSL people they have checked everything everywhere. If the meeting between the DSL tech and phone company tech on Tuesday does not bear fruit I have no idea what the next step in the process will be.

That's okay, because I am not looking for an argument. I want those who are holding up games to play, because it's hardly fair that we have to wait for months because they don't want to expend the small extra effort to email their turns to the admin.

The admins are not the only problem, and I am specifically addressing the players unwilling to send their turns.

I am not really sure what you are trying to say here.

My only purpose is to get the games played. Even if your issues (whatever they are) never get resolved there is life after PBW.

How many games were being run on your PBW system before it went down. Now think about how lazy most people are (sorry, can't think of a nice way to put it so I am being blunt so as not to be misunderstood). There are approximately how many games on hold simply because of a few lazy people.

Again, I am not looking to flame or to receive flame. Let's just get these games going. Once PBW is up and going again you can go back to your lethargic ways, I really don't care after that.

Actually no, because I am addressing the PLAYERS that refuse to send their turns into an admin who IS willing to go through the trouble. I did indicate this in my original post, Fyron.

Cut it out Fyron, I am not looking for an argument or a guilt-trip. I want the players in my game to play the game or get out.

BTW, there was one extended down time that you remember.

Your Posts seemed to be talking about hosts not willing to process turns manually, not players not sending in plr files to hosts willing to do so.

Cut it out Fyron, I am not looking for an argument or a guilt-trip.

Cut what out? Attempting to put your complaints into perspective?

I want the players in my game to play the game or get out.

Then you should have been more explicit in your Posts, as that is not what it looked like you were saying to me.

BTW, there was one extended down time that you remember.

No, there was one extended down time. It Lasted for a few months, and was due to hardware failure. I am not sure what you consider to be an extended down time... perhaps we should clarify that.

Okay, Fyron... you asked for it. Next time READ the Posts. Following are quotes from me... feel free to double check them.

Are your fingers so lethargic that you cannot go through the extra effort of sending an email?

From the first post. There is nothing stating admins unwilling to run turns. I admit that I did not state explicity that it is the players I was talking about but any NORMAL mind could figure out that I meant the players.

That's okay, because I am not looking for an argument. I want those who are holding up games to play, because it's hardly fair that we have to wait for months because they don't want to expend the small extra effort to email their turns to the admin.

OMG! Here I am actually being specific enough even for you, Fyron.

... I am specifically addressing the players unwilling to send their turns.

If the previous mention was not enough to clue you in.

Actually no, because I am addressing the PLAYERS that refuse to send their turns into an admin who IS willing to go through the trouble.

Uh oh... your firm grasp on reality is looking rather limp now.

I want the players in my game to play the game or get out.

The final indication that I am talking about the players. Listen, Fyron... don't debate this issue with me you are obviously ill equiped for it and the basic understanding of reason.
