What's the schedule?

King Lear · #82 February 9th, 2004, 09:07 PM

Well, we have one person, namely Mictlan, who is currently having some trouble with his internet. I sent him an email asking if he wanted to be set as a computer player or to temporarily have some one fill in for him, and i was waiting for a reply to that email before i force hosted.

I guess I'll wait annother half day before I do something to give the guy a chance.

How does this sound to everyone?

After we begin, I intend to host every 48 hours after I send out turn files. Thus everyone has nearly 2 full days. If after those 48 hours are up I've still got more than 3 people who haven't turned in orders, i will wait until that number drops and become either less than or equal to 3

If any of you think this is a bad system for doing it, post a reply, or send me an email. I'm just here to help facilitate the game running. Also, if you think i should force host now rather than wait.

Sound reasonable. But is it easier to schedule to host on fix days of the week, such as Monday, Wednesday, Friday & Sunday?

I am fine with waiting for the stragglers for half a day.

King Lear · #85 February 10th, 2004, 03:47 AM

That actually sounds like quite a good idea.
Ok, this Wed I'll send them out, and MWF and if enough ppl are fine with it, Either Sat or Sunday will be when I host and send out the new files.

Are we upgrading?

Seems like a bad idea, with reports of crash/hang bugs flitting about.

We won't get the rename functionality anyway....

Actually, the only crash/hang bug reported is Norfleet's, and he's the only one who's been able to reproduce it. So it's fairly safe at this point to say that the problem resides on his machine, not in the patch.

I got sent the same turn file as Last go around.. the numeric coscript on my turns has been higher than the others in the mass mailing... is this perhaps why?

Eager to get the latest turn file, which should be turn 5 yes?
