This really stinks. I guess I get to stay up all night tonight trying to finish my Last game not knowing whether or not it's going to be a waste of time.

Well, since Walter's specifically said the contest will continue, I'd definitely finish your game. I'm just confused over what the heck they meant on their cancellation page.

Ok, now this is getting ridiculous. I had sent a message to Walter Day as well, and it just came back that that user was unknown.

Geo, you used the walter@twingalaxies.com email address? They said they've had some email problems related to a recent move...

WarChild, you should probably scrap the extra ships and bases over 2000 and resubmit your Last turn in case they'll DQ you for going over the limit. I would also read the board over at TG to make sure there isn't anything else you need to worry about.

Yeah Drake, I was using the link on that page which had walterday@twingalaxies.com, I sent it to another address there and apparently they forwarded it to walter@twingalaxies.com cause he eventually responded. Didn't give me any new info over what he told you though. In fact he is a little frustrating cause he acted like he didn't really know for sure what was going on.

I have no idea how long it's going to take them to verify the scores that have been submitted. They are still accepting submissions till tomorrow. I asked him specifically what time was the deadline tommorrow and his answer was "tommorrow". Big help.

drake:
thanks for the suggestion, but i already mailed my game saves in (because they were too large to send as an e-mail attachment)...i was sooo careful about playing by the exact rules that i don't know how i allowed myself to make that mistake! looks like my buddy's game is garbage also, considering he built nearly 12000 ships in his...ugh! i can't believe i wasted literally weeks of my life to no avail! you are to be congratulated for playing an excellent game--what an impressive score! care to share how you generated those phenomenal resources??

Take a look at the following URL. There is some good information. In particular, Drake posted his Turn 150 savegame:
