First of all, get Esben to send you the respective files. I think if we can switch to Pbem until end of next week, we're good.

PMing people sounds like a good solution. I'll PM you my email address.

And yes, at least to my knowledge, you're the only one thinking hosting is fun. I don't like organizing, sending out the right files to the right people, counting if everything's in, answering questions... yuck. I did enough customer support jobs, thanks...

Since there's still no room on Esben's server to restart the game, I think I agree with you all that PBEM is the way to go. Since I'm about to go on holiday for two weeks (yippee!), it's better that Alneyan hosts. I'll still award points for the stories (though there will be a short break after next weekend, unless I find an e-cafe in Madagascar!).

All the best,

I have sent a request to Esben for having the files earlier today. In the meantime, I guess we can start getting back on track, and so feel free to email me your turn files for turn 6. My address is alneyan[AT]yahoo[DOT]fr (replace with @ and .), though it should be displayed in my profile.

Do you want to make the switch to the latest patch (2.14) when next turn runs, or would you rather wait until everyone is settled? Using the wrong Version should only result in incorrect combat replays, but avoiding this may be better if possible.

On a side note, I have never done any kind of tech support job, or anything along these lines. That might be why I am still not shivering at the very thought of hosting anything.

Well, me at least, I don't have my turnfile for turn 6 yet...

And I am all for changing to 2.14. I doubt that anyone managed to build a fetish/clam economy yet.

Yes, I imagine those who didn't log into the server before the game stopped will need to get their .trn files.

I too support going to 2.14 at the end of this turn.

*Coughs* Yes, I had forgotten the little detail that some players might not have their turn files.

If someone else besides Karacan did not get her turn file, please drop me a mail so that I can send it to you as soon as I get it.

According to Esben's game page, neither Sheap, Mark nor me took their turns yet. It's safe to assume that the rest received their turnfiles from the server.
