PBEM game: The first step (Running)

Alneyan · #1 May 4th, 2005, 04:53 PM

Turns always run as soon as possible; only the deadlynes stay at 1800 GMT.

I didn't get Machaka's turn: have you received the URL for the file in a private message, or perhaps even the file(s) in your mailbox? (I can hope for the latter solution, but I doubt that)

Right, I got everything working, and the turn is on its way to you. Sorry again about the trouble.

I didn't get anything on any of my mails. Not sure what's wrong though; perhaps you could try getting a mail on Fastmail, as mails going from the same domain should work much better? I don't know for sure if it will help however.

You should also forward your orders to me in private, so that I can play a turn in your stead, and run next turn. I am not sure when exactly standard emailing will work, so I guess we had better find another way in the meantime.

Are you holding off on sending out a turn? Just checking in case you sent one in the last day or two and I didn't receive it.

Alneyan · #6 May 5th, 2005, 06:52 PM

I am, as the problem with Machaka has yet to be solved: I had a tough time sending in the turn, and I didn't get their turn file. We are ready to go as soon as I get his turn though (or his instructions).

Perhaps a gmail account might help.

Did I win yet?? Oh, I guess it's too soon to tell. That, and the fact that I'm currently at work and can't run my turn (hopefully the non-virgin chicken I sacrificed doesn't come back to bite me in the end).

Woohoo, turn 2 here we go.

Turn 2

Ermor announced Tagg Klatu the Censor as its prophet.

Pangaea announced Satyrica the Black Harpy as its prophet.

On the graphs, the Research rankings probably give a good indication of the amount of magical power (i.e., total number of path levels) of the Pretenders. The order is Ermor, Pangaea, Pythium, Machaka, Marignon, Jotunheim/Man (tie), and Arcosephale (at zero). Arco must have chosen something else for its Pretender to do.

On the other graphs, Arco is first in income, Ermor is first in gems and dominion, and Machaka is first in army size.

Argh! I'm surrounded by wastelands!
