seems that arcor has a bit buggy mail setup. They seems to send out every mail only after more than 4 hours. Then the greylisting ticket is not valid anymore. Also it seems to use different senders for the same mail.

Well, anyway, I got the information from Bluebird as you could see.

[Eldanesh]

We should organize some time when we all get online at once and get a whole bunch o turns done.

[lch]

Mow, I can switch back to the local sendmail if you like, I just thought the smtprelay by arcor might be more reliable.

Eldanesh, that's what I wish for all the games that I'm in, too, but I don't think it's too easy. Most of the times people are living in different timezones (US/Europe/Asia) and have duties and ligations which conflict with those that others might have. Waiting for the host to hand out the next turn can be very boring during the first 10 turns where nothing much happens, but you'll have to live with that. As soon as you get in contact with your neighbors it's going to get interesting. If the game moves too slow for you then you should join the #Dominions IRC channel on irc.gamesurge.net and look for people who want to play a blitz game with you.

I found it a bit hard to see where the boundaries lines between the provinces were drawn on the map as they were pretty faint, so I had a go at changing the contrast on the tga file. It seems to have worked quite well and the boundary lines are much clearer. I've attached the modified file in case it'd be of use to anyone else. You'll want to back up the existing parganos.tga so that it doesn't get overwritten by the new version.

Edit - the site seems to be really slow and I don't think the attachment works. It took about 10 minutes to get the post to appear so I'll try and fix the attachment when the site's running quicker.

[Bluebird]

Because of Ascension, I leave tomorrow morning and will only be back on Sunday evening. Probably some other will, too.

[lch]

Okay, in case the game hosts I will disable the timer until Sunday then.

[Eldanesh]

Ironically, I'm away for a while as well, probably until tuesday. Ich, Pm me about this, but could you cover for me?

[lch]

D'oh, could you download and play the turn while you're travelling? Otherwise I'll sub for you, I guess.

> Mow, I can switch back to the local sendmail if you like, I just thought the smtprelay by arcor might be more reliable.

Its on you. I can just tell you that this setup is, well, not optimal.

Other: Seems that cupido2 is out of toun. I hoped to just can play one turn before I well be out till sunday too.

[lch]

I already switched to sendmail, in case you didn't notice, because the messages over the smtprelay to your server bounced back.

I haven't heard from cupido that he's going to take a time out, so I assume that he'll play his turn in time.
If that is in 30 hours then I won't turn off the timer, if it's today I'll extend the timer to allow the people that are out of town till Sunday to get their turns in.
I'll play for Eldanesh in case he isn't able to play the turn himself before the timer runs out.
I think the turn frequency in this game was quite good so far.
