Hmm.. I didn't notice anything, but it looks like Cutlass already sent 600AD to Arwon.
Ials pbem #1
- Thread starter ParadigmShifter
- Start date
The last save I received from Bathsheba was 600AD on the 23rd. I sent that to Arwon on the 24th, he had a problem with the save I sent him, so I deleted my saves, replayed the turn, and sent him 600 again on the 25th.
Looking back through my email trash folder, I also received a 600AD save from Bathsheba on the 12th.
So the problem didn't begin with me.

This is the kind of situation that using pbemtracker would help avoid
My sent mail shows the attached file as
IALS_#1_AD-0620_to_Flying_Pig.CivBeyondSwordSave
In other games I've noticed corrupted saves when simply over-writing old ones. I suggest people delete the old files before re-downloading and replaying.

So... I'm reluctant to replay a turn, but I guess I could...
Or could Flying Pig, Scienidez or bathsheba666 play their current turn and send the save?
bathsheba knows about the fluke. I just PMed Scienidez and FP.

620 AD moving on
I suspect this is the source of the problem.

620 AD moving on
Good spot.
Scienidez, please send me the 620ad turn.
You actually sent 600ad.
Here's what I think will get the save back on track:
1. Scienidez checks his ~/saves/pbem/IALS_#1/ folder to make sure that the most recent file is IALS_#1_AD-0620_to_Cutlass.CivBeyondSwordSave
2. If it's NOT, then Scienidez replays the save IALS_#1_AD-620_to_Scienidez.CivBeyondSwordSave and takes care to hit enter at the end (not hitting enter is the most frequent causes of my save-forwarding errors
)
3. If it IS, then Scienidez attaches the save named IALS_#1_AD-0620_to_Cutlass.CivBeyondSwordSave to the email to Cutlass.
4. Cutlass deletes all saves in the ~/saves/PBEM folder from the years 6xx; as well as all saves in the ~/saves/PBEM/IALS_#1 folder from the years 6xx.
5. Cutlass then downloads the save Scienidez sends him - this will be safe to do since the old ones are deleted. No overwrite errors from now on.
6. Cutlass then plays that save, and emails it on as usual.
Sorry if this post is coming across as condescending or explainlikeimfive - I really don't intend that. It's just that I haveextensive some experience unravelling issues caused by inadvertently overwriting save files. I now have things set up so that I can't download a save of the same filename as a previous save - this way I catch the issue immediately.
Please don't ask me what I did to set up that folder filter - it was years ago.

The only slight problem with your analysis is that Scienidez needs to send his save to me, and not Cutlass. The thread post #2 has an up to date play order.

@Scienidez: Great. And don't worry too much - none else noticed it was the wrong turn either! 
Since neither bathsheba, you, Arwon nor Atticus have played the 620 CE save yet, the easiest is in fact to just play that one: No saves that need to be deleted, and no problems.
