Players wanted for PvK's Proportions Game #1

Yes, just click that option on PBW, and I'll get an email notification and then I go approve you. You should then get the current turn and the password for your empire. (Let me know if you don't get the password, though - for some reason, sometimes replacement players don't seem to get the old password, so I and/or a PBW admin have to clear it.) Then you do the turn and send it in.

The two empires who don't list shipsets, are using stock shipsets which don't conflict with any of the others.

OK, I received the emails with the approval to join, and the password, and a couple of nag notices for a turn that was due two days ago

, but did not receive a turn file, or empire file. How do I get these?

I went to this game's page on PBW and found the button to download the current turn. This gave me a zip containing the .gam, .cmb, and .trn files, but did not give me the .emp file for my own empire - how do I get that? Or don't I need it, since the game is already in progress? (Aren't the design files for this empire stored in the .emp?)

You don't need the emp file for a game in progress. Emp files are used to create games (and can be used to carry designs from one game to the next), but emp files aren't used during play.

Looks like I have one more hurdle to get over before I can get into this game and do my turn. The password that was emailed to me doesn't work. When I put it in and try to enter the game, I get an Invalid Password message.

I set my Path.txt to the correct mod folder, start SEIV, click Load Game, click PVKPROP1, then it shows me the list of empires in the game, I select the Slu'vek, I type in the password down below, click Login - then get the message that the password is invalid.

Now what?

Hey PvK,

I'm all set; got the password and saved game files. Everything seems to be working now, and I'll have that turn submitted for you by tomorrow. Thanks!
