Re: Atlantis turn needed
Has something to do with 8-to-7 bit conversion by email servers/relays. All of them know what a zip file is and handle it accordingly, but few of them know about DOM files .. and start strange conversions on them.
=> Better always zip up your files. Saves transfer volume, by the way ...

Re: Atlantis turn needed
For what it is worth, I don't like dealing with zip files as a PBEM host. It just adds more steps to my job. The screwed up turns happen quite infrequently.

Re: Atlantis turn needed
Are we hosting turn 5 tomorrow night instead? No way I can get a turn 6 in by tomorrow night.

Re: Atlantis turn needed
I jst sent out the turns. There was a delay because my trial microsoft office package expired yesterday, throwing everything into chaos. I finally got it fixed.
The deadline for the next turn will be Thursday at 8 PM MST.
As for the current turn results, one more wyrm bit the dust, that being Kir'Dog of TC. If any other wyrms died who are not in the HoF, please remember to anounce the fact.

Re: Atlantis turn needed
Kir'Doq felt it was getting a little too cold, so decided to take a nice warm vacation in hell.

Re: Atlantis turn needed
Whatever it was, most of TC's troops went along for the ride.

Re: Atlantis turn needed
I went up against lances this last turn, and I survived. I don't think they are our achilles heel... so to speak.
