So lets roll!
Turn 1 (4000 BC) played and sent to Burlicconi.
You can find emails where you have to send turns in-game.
I hope all players are reliable and consistent.

Good luck all and have fun.

i sent forward to onclauds...
Goos luck to all!!!

oops...
Message: "The save file you have selected is protected to ensure that the assets in your mod folder have not been changed"...
and then...
"Load Failed" =S

does anyone understand this? I don't =/

Crap, again! :)

My bad. I didn't expect these kind of problems, kinda strange to me. At least Burlicconi had no problem with his BTS :)

Looks like this is because of unmodified CvGameCoreDLL.dll file in /Assets/ folder, which is required to change to emulate BTS instalation for GOTM games, as it's said here (http://gotm.civfanatics.net/gen/faq.php#locked_assets). You can download BTS CvGameCoreDLL.dll here (http://gotm.civfanatics.net/civ4games/Civ4_BtS_DLLs.zip).
You should not have any conflict with other games after that, at least I hadn't. But it's always better to check.

Turn 1 played and sent to Champinoman.

I received the file and will confirm that if you are playing with vanilla you need the modified .dll to play.

However, i have never played a PBEM larger than a 1v1 so i have never experienced the following:

I received my turn from Anita and played it out. Now the game wants to send it back to Anita for the next turn... Do we play each turn in the reverse of the previous turn or something?

Because as i see it we have gone... Moens -> Burlicconi -> Onclouds -> AnitaGaribaldi -> champinoman -> AnitaGaribaldi ????

Im going to let the game send it to Anita as it is telling me to and hope this is correct.

If I am wrong I can send it again or Anita can forward the file. (everyone should be passworded so nobody can play the wrong turn anyway)

And if the order changes weirdly can someone please post how the ordering will work through out the game. Thanks.

ok, ignore everything in the above post

I tried to send it to Anita but the sending failed a couple of times. So i decided to reload the file from my email. After playing my turn (exact same as first time) i hit the end turn button and this time moens email appeared and it sent without an issue.

No idea what happened as i have played a couple of email games before and never encountered that issue.

The move is sent and hopefully thats the biggest issue i have for the entire game.

Good luck all :)

Kind of scary and confusing message above :) But everything is good, I have received and played the turn.

Hi guys,
I've received the save and sent a GPS message but then my pc broke down and I'm still trying to fix it.
Unfortunately I can't seem to make it work (civ crashes on startup).
If by tomorrow I haven't been able to resolve the problems I'll let you know so that you may find a replacement. =/
sorry for this...

Onclouds,
Don't rush. Fix your pc and play your turn. I am sure we can understand and wait.

In the meantime I want to inform all players that I am going for a short trip on river on Sunday and won't be able to play my turns for a couple of days. I am sorry for this, but it won't be long. I will be back on Tuesday evening latest.

So, Onclouds, you have enough time to fix your pc :) All day tomorrow I am available and ready to play my turns in case if you manage to fix your pc.

Definitely take your time fixing your computer and dont worry bout a replacement. This is a PBEM game that will go on for quite a while so no point chucking in the towel on turn 2 :P

And to add to Moens being away for a couple of days, im moving house atm and will be in a house with no internet access for a little. I'll be downloading my turn from work and sending the next morning. I should have internet connected fast though as im a wreck without it :D

played and sent! =)
format c:\ works like a charm (not so much since we don't get to type it anymore, instead we have to put up with a nag blue screen from MS xD)

Edit1: I'm still trying to sent....

Edit2: I'm having a little trouble with my Internet connection. I sent to Champinoman by another e-mail address, I just hope he hasn't received more than one e-mail, I had to try many times.

Turn BC3720 played and sent to champinoman.

Well, I didn't sleep last night. I've been civing too much and I got my homework late. So I had to spend a night, at college, finishing a seminar about the book "Power, Sex, Suicide: Mitochondria and the Meaning of Life". I have the pdf to prove it. :p

onclouds: Quando você notou que falo português? Todos os seus e-mails são em inglês....... Não é difícil adivinhar, afinal eu não menti sobre o lugar onde moro.

foi exactamente pelo nome e pela localização ;)

vou começar a mandar os emails em português :P jah agora... você eh de onde do Brasil? Eu sou de Aveiro, Portugal

Sent to Moens, Sorry for the delay. I was out all day.

Sorry for the delay...

BC3320 played and sent.....

I played and sent mine yesterday. Moens, did you recieve it? normally you post that you have had your move so im thinking its gotten lost. Do I need to resend?

I tried getting on earlier and couldn't. Maybe the site was down and Moens has had the turn but couldn't post.

I've played and sent BC3280 2 hours later when I received it yesterday. So it should be at least in Burlicconi's inbox.
Burlicconi, Let me know if you need a resend.

I still haven't received BC3280. So the game is with Burlicconi or onclouds.

No news from Burlicconi or Onclouds.
BC3280 resent to Burlicconi, just in case.

I got the file from onclouds today, I'll play as soon as I get home.

I'm sorry guys, but my email server is down since I got yesterday evening home. I have already PM onclouds to resend it to me.

I can't believe, I finally played the BC3280.... The game was sent to champinoman. :run:

Turn sent on to Moens. I'll try and make more of a habit to come and post here when I send.

BC3240 played and sent.

Yes, it is preferable if we post here when we send the turn. I also suggest to check the thread if you don't receive the turn in a day as usual and see the turn status.

So where are we now? :)

I haven't received my turn yesterday. I'm moving out my parent's home today, I will be able to play my turn tomorrow evening, in about 36 hours.

sorry for the delay... had to re-install the game and was having some problems with the DLLs =/

I haven't expected I would be able to play my turn today, but I did! Played and sent to champinoman. :)

Not quite Anita, I recieved 3 seperate emails from you (all within 10 seconds) and all 3 are telling me its still your turn and asking for your password. Did you send me the wrong file?

I'm sorry. I did sent you the wrong file. I can't sent it to you now because I'm not home. I'm sorry for the multiple e-mails, I press "send" and nothing happens at my side.

I sent my turn to champinoman yesterday. I still haven't received mine and nobody has posted here. |

Hi guys,
I'm going on vacation probably until the 4th of August and won't be able to play my turns until then...

Talk to you then ;-)

Sent =]

Sorry about the delay

BC3120 played and sent.

Hey, where are we now?

I sent the turn to Anita on July 31st but never got the GPS message...

I'm sorry guys. I haven't worried until 4th july, but on this day the Internet connection was down. The next day I was down, I could barely leave bed, I really wished I could call Mom. I usually can get Internet connection, everyday, any time, in the place where I study, but I have to leave home and walk a little. I wouldn't be able to play Civilization yesterday anyway, because my notebook is old. Tomorrow I'll play my turn because I 'm going to my parent's home. I may have problem playing everyday before my new Dell machine arrives. It's already in Brazil, so it should not take long.

Good to hear from you, Anita. I hope you are fine and the game goes as normal soon.

just what i have done...

to Anita...

I just received a turn from Anita but it was still asking for her password so I sent it back to her.

could you send an email to Anita ?... forward the one you received and explain...

I have a feeling that she isn't following the thread..

yes, we made big delay...
Is this game dead?

I just sent her another email with save file attached. Hopefully she spots it this time.

We are making big delay now, after speedy start...

and we are rolling again... email sent. =]

It took about 15 mins to Moens, me and Onclouds played 3 turns...
Nice speed ;)

2640 BC played and sent. good to see the game going again. hopefully no big delays in future.

I sent forward. I made a small delay, due to my provider fault :)

sent to Anita yesterday...

omg 02/10 last post... I had some troubles with my PC's so I haven't checked the thread for a while.

Now, where is the turn? Has Anita played it?? Champino, have you received it form her?

Suppose that save is at her, so it's nothing we can do...

Err... I think I may have forgotten to send her the save..

I can't find the sent mail anywhere so I'll send it to her.
If that was the case my apologies to all involved in this game...

Ok.. I just found the email and I did send it to her on October 1st. Bt I didn't get a gps message...

Onclouds, please send the turn to Anita again, if you haven't done so today.

We have to do something about this game, as I don't see how we can play a game 1 turn in 2 weeks. I hope to hear from Anita soon.

Maybe is posible that Anita founds her sub, until she get her computer again...

I have sent the turn on October 6th to Champioman, I'll sent again.

Ok. lets go for bussiness then ;)

Turn received, played and sent.

I played my turn about one hour ago....

Seems nothing good... :rolleyes:

Seems nothing good... :rolleyes:

Well, if we made 10 turns in one daz, average is good:D

Is this definitelly dead?

The last I saw of this game was on the 20th of October when I sent it to Anita...

I didn't get a GPS message from her. =/

I haven't received an email since then so I guess Anita still has it.

Hm, Anita has been on this site at 3.november, so I guess she can at least find sub while she is unable to play....
