OK, since trying to manage this via private email has not proven to be successful, I thought I'd try this.

Who has the last save? Where is this game right now?

Players were:

pirasanta
Zukov
SirMasterBlue
Pennywise_30
Grizzle
Wrangler89
Gnarfflinger
and me of course.

Check your personal emails for alist of everyone's email addresses if need be.

I played the first turn and sent it to Pirasanta on April 30th.

OK, loads of time, no resaponse from her, I guess I'm starting the game over, without her.

Look for the save sometime today, and whoever gets it, please post here.

OK, I redid the game, tookmy turn and sent the save through the game to gnarfflinger - let me know if you did not receive it and I'll send it manually. I'm wondering if that might be part of the problem...

I got the turn played it and sent it on to Pennywise_30. It's good to be playing again.

pennywise, did you get the save? Where are we now?

We may have lost a few players. Those still interested in playing, please check in. I would still like to play.

me too

I'm still interested. I don't drop games. There are a few I don't admit to being in, but I still play out my turns...

lol ... hmm, sounds like you have interesting journeys gnarff...

I'm gonna try this 1 more time....if it gets stuck this time, I'll call it a lesson learned....

I'm still interested. Count me in.

I'm interested in new games at the moment, and am happy to fill in if someone else has pulled out...

Well, when two sides clash, one wins, and the other loses. There have been some that have not resulted in glorious for me...

ok guys, I'm gonna give this one one last shot...TE, please send me your email address so we dont get hung up on your turn.

Here we go again, here is the order. Please, please trry to play within a couple of days of receiving teh save, 24 hours is nice. If the turn doesn't move within 3 days, I will try to use the admin password to play on behalf of the mising player so as to keep the game moving.

If you know you are going to be gone, please let me know, so we can work around you.

If I have to take a turn for someone, I will simply load the save and click the red button, I will not look at anything, change anything, or moe anything not on an auto move. Thats as fair as I can be.

Turn sent to Sir Master Blue

Took My turn and sent it to Gnarf. Let Me know if you didn't get it, sending through the game.

Got it, played it and sending tonight. Zukov, as I've noticed, is a consistant player too.

The foundation stones of Athens have been relaid.

Our scouts fan out into the darkness....

I noticed that both nutcracker and I are down as Alexander.... But I just founded Athens....

That's odd, I didn't think the computer would do that...we may have to restart yet again, depending on if it gives er a problem or not...

OK, Mystery solved...

I messed up in my post when I listed everyone, I listed nutcracker as Alexander as well as Zukov, but when I created the game, I did it correctly, with nutcracker as America, as per her original request.

Sorry for the confusion everyone.

I'm still Monty. Does this mean I have to be a Jerk to all of you?

Game send to Wrangler

Don't mean to hijack the thread here, but I am just curious as to how long a game like this takes. Do these games last years, with a single turn (for all players) taking more than a week to complete? What are the advantages to playing like this? Do you folks also play marathon session in other types of MP games or perhaps SP? I tend to not be able to stop (just one more turn, for sure!) when i play SP, and it seems like it would be difficult to keep focus on the game if my turns came once per week.

Again, sorry to interrupt, but blue seems patient, so I thought asking here might work out.

In Civ III, I sae one scenario that was practically over in a couple months. I won one that took about 4 months or so...


Turn speed depends on the players. I've seen games where I get the turn one night, play it the next day, send it that night, and it's back the next night. Other games you're lucky to see one per week...

not so much patient, as dissapointed, frustrated and resigned that this just doesn't seem to work.

Like you,when SirMasterBlue and I play simultaneous turns, we tend to play for days on end until we fall asleep at the ouse. I had hopes that everyone would play once a day or occassionally take two days and this might work, but it just doesn't seem to work that way.

ok, heard from wrangler, apparently nutcracker's email addy is invalid, so nutcracker, if your reading this, please let us know where to send your save.

I'm still pretty new at this, but it seems to work better with only a few human players. With each new human it just takes longer to get through a turn and the chances of getting stuck increase.

Just finished my turn but dont have anywhere to send it. What is sgtoshaboy's email??
