Great, thank you.

Gandalf has some questions for us players.

Quote:

ok its 72 hour now

do you want the zip files mailed to you each turn? (backups)
does any player want turns emailed?
does any player want email notices when the turn processes?

Please feel free to contact him directly if you like.

Ok, just got home from work. (Hurrah to short work day due to upcoming 4th of July! I am very tired from crunch mode of our soon-to-be-released software product, need a break from programming or I'll go nuts )


The game is working fine, 67 hours left until the next host. Everybody except Kalissia need to upload their turns over the next 2.5 days.

Sorry to try and delay the game even further, but could we have a 24 hour extension in addition to the above 67 hours? I'm traveling this 4th of July weekend, and won't be back till Sunday.

Also, good luck with the programming, Corwin. We're about to enter crunch-mode at my own software shop; hopefully we can finish this game up before then.

Thanks you.


Delaying hosting is fine with me, but you should sent PM to Gandalf - he is our new host, and I don't think he reads this thread.

I will forward your PM to Gandalf and ask him to delay hosting. But please keep in mind that the current hosting is 19 hours from now (so it will host around 11AM Pacific time on Sunday). I don't know if Gandalf will see this PM in the next 19 hours (it's kind of short notice, especially since it is a long weekend).

So if you can, you may want to try to make as much of your turn as you can by Sunday morning and upload it, in case if the game will host before Gandalf will get your note.

Good luck!

Ok, I've contacted Gandalf and forarded him AdmiralZhao's request. He had reset the timer, it is now 68 hours away.

But I would suggest let's try to get out turns as soon as we can though, we have been hanged on this turn for a while now. Mine is pretty much ready.

I am going on vacation, so I am switching my nation to AI. I don't believe anyone would care to sub for me. This was my first MP game game and I guess I didn't do too bad, especially considering that I fought Caelum (any archer heavy nation is nasty for Kailasa in early game) and that I had terrible events although I took luck +2 (I never once got any event gaining me more than 200 income, but my capitol temple burned twice, I was attacked by trogs etc.). Good bye everyone.

Default Turn Notifications?

Is there any way to receive e-mail turn notifications from dom3minions?

Default Re: Turn Notifications?

OK Im jumping in here. Please dont expect this. Go thru the person running the game and they will use pm's to tell me things.
And please dont post email addresses here. PM them to me.

YES: Email notification when the game processes a turn

YES: email attachment of your turn file

YES: SMS (text message) to your cell phone when the turn processes

YES: Webpage updated when the turn processes.

YES: browser download of turn files

POSSIBLE: browser upload of turn files

POSSIBLE: Instant Message when the turn processes

POSSIBLE: FAX when a turn processes.

POSSIBLE: Having your computer play a wav file to literally TELL you when the turn has processed.

POSSIBLE: Having your computer receive the turn file, copy it to the dominions directory, play a wav to notify you that the turn is available, then start dominions going directly into that game.

Did you think of something I left out? Just ask.
