Is not YOu W2. I just antecipate your comments, posting before you.

Btw, could any of you guys be so kind to send me the planning phase? I need all e-mails and roster order confirmation.

Thx.

Yama

Edit:
Hmm, I see now in the W2 foward e-mail, that eventually, LL had sent to me the planning phase before. For some reason I just lost that e-mail. Anyway all solve now, since W2 send it again to me. Thx. And lets have great time killing eachothers! :goodjob:

Apologies for my lack of Correspondance, I have been away for the last month and playing the game by downloading the saves sneakily through work..... so the turns have been played, but often it was impossible to get on to the forumformorethan 2 seconds....

For the turn received from Sparhawk i can surmise...

The British Forces Plot their revenge on the Arrogant French... as Allies of Napoleon reveal themselves by moving on British possesions on the continent, and are punished severly by the Professional British Troops as a result.

The turn was sent on to warning u2, and i'm sure has passed on since then.

Sorry to Lou for my lack of reply.

I'm in favour of playing on, the game is just getting interesting for me.

?!!?!?!!

I think this game has an incurable disease!!! :mad:

Ok Guys, here is the deal (at least my deal).
Since I accept the invitation to replace Bracha (dec, 1) it pass Fourteen days, and I managed to play only 1 turn! :eek:

I played that turn on Dec, 11, and passed to punkb.

PunkB played it right way, at it seems.
So sparhawk_59 only now, Dec 14, is posting saying he didnt played it yet (dont matter if you saying is a virus or whatever, the thing is only now you are posting here).

Concerning is the second time it is happening, then I must say.... it was nice to play with you guys one turn, in 14 days, but now is over. thx. :mischief:

Please james and sparhawk, you should have another tries, in other pbems, as soon as you guys managed to get some free time of your free time, to pbems. But you should not continue this one, and just get a nice withdrawal, IMHO.

Please dont interpret me wrong, but of course is not possible one guy (or two, or three...) just cut the fun of the others.
Btw, me too already give up a pbem, once, just because I realise in that moment, I was delaying the others because, i had not time in those weeks to play that pbem. So is normal, and we can meet again, in other pbems, as soon as you be really ready to do it.

Of course, the alternative in this point, is I get off instead.

Have a nice day/evening.

So at this point I have to agree with Yamamoto. Sorry to drag you into this. I understand your decision.

I regret to do this but having played only a few turns in many weeks, a lack of communication, the disappearance of brachus, now a virus infection on the game turn, and finally Yamamoto leaving ... well its ridiculous.

I am officially withdrawing from the game.
 
I can't believe this.

It has been explained again and again by both sparhawk and myself that we sometimes have things in the way......this is called LIFE...

I have passed on each game turn with 24 hours of receiving it each time....

I have made it clear that i can always be reached on email, but can not always see forum....yet people ask me questions on the forum and not on email until days later.

1800 may was the last turn sent...... i played, passed on, and asked warning u2 to tell people on the forum he had received..... he didn't, and i get blaimed for holding the game up... :mad:

Sparhawk has posted saying "get the game to me by such and such a day or i will be away 3 days", its not his fault if people don't get it to him by this time.

a couple of days delay is to be expected...its PBEM, not online!

And the virus is Not sparhawks fault.......

:mad: :mad: :mad:
 
HEY

I am fully aware that people have lives outside of a game.

How is this my fault that you are away for several days and I am to blame ? :mad:

How is this my fault that I asked here what the status of the game is and sent and email and no response is received for several days ? :mad:

You need a serious attitude adjustment James I.

One turn in 14 days is not PBEM ... it's a joke

You need a serious attitude adjustment James I.
 
I completely agree with WarningU2. I know he is a very reliable and conscientious player. WE have both seen this game through plenty of rough times and given both you and your friend several chances. You are both slow to respond to anything. You can blame and stew as much as you want but it will not change a thing.
 
Punkbass you are a bad joke ...... you send the turn to the wrong person, you send the turn with an incurable virus.... you are the one who has held the game up, i've always emailed you when i was going to be away but still you couldn't get it to me before i went, LOOSER
Warning U2 , i understand your frustration, i too am frustrated, Brachra just about destroyed this game and Punkbass's incompetence finished it off - coupled with the overwhelming arrogance [obviously unjustified by reality] of yamamoto
Yamamoto, you are so full of yourself that it's ridiculous, you relace brachra and set yourself up as king of the game , proceed to try and make out that the stupidity of your mate punkbass isn't to blame for the problems in this game rather that somehow it's my fault or that of James I, get an attitude adjustment and a life!!!
funny i thought this was a game for newbees ...... :mad:
we started with 3 newbees and 2 experienced players, then it was 2 and 3, has there been encouragement to the newbees from the experienced players ... NO, just whinging and bickering, wanting to quit :mad: .... i read the newbee guide etc b4 we started and i really thought quitting was out :mad: ... that u get a bad rep from quitting, well i really hope that it's noted that punkbass and yamamoto are quitters, i really can't blame warning u2, but i hope it is also noted that James I and Sparhawk don't quit !!!!! :mad:
anyway i'd have kicked your butts for you !!!! FIGJAM
this has soured my feelings towards pbem but i'll hope that there are intelligent players out there and i'll try again - no offense to you warning u2, however you have seriously overreacted to James I's post, i can not see you could interpret it as him saying it's your fault!!!
I'm disgusted, ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTED :mad: , i had to wait 2 days til i was calm enough to post this without doing so in traditional Aussie anger .... the F word being every second word and with lots of serious aspersions on peoples parentage etc, so if you think i've been harsh now, think again
QUITTERS NEVER WIN !!!!! WINNERS NEVER QUIT !!!!!!!!
GOODBYE
 
Ok I hope everyone feels better blowing of steam.

Lets end this nonsense and move on.

Lets take it out on the field of battle, when one day we meet again. :D

:lol:

Sorry, I shouldn't spam. This thread should probably be closed/deleted anyway. I'll PM LL about it.
 
Good Day All,

For those interested in irony, I am now back home and able to access the net on a daily basis..... as i told everyone in a post, i'd have delays only for a few weeks....

Please note, Sparhawk and i have not finished the game.... and the possibility remains to get replacements who might be time constrained like us..... so we would strongly prefer if the thread wasn't closed.... I understand it(the thread) degenerated... from all sides... but the game still exists, and i for one wish to finish my first pbem game.

with a calm viewpoint, i'd like to ask a few questions/make a few observations.

knowing that it was a game for newbees.... shouldn't teething troubles be expected? As you yourselves have said, the game is only in early stages.... and if people are doing it wrong, a PM letting them know what they should do is an easy answer....

This game had a drama with a change of players, because of the nature of email, timezones, and net access, surely a period of confusion can be expected, and since we don't meet face to face, it takes time to sort this out....like rolling back the darkness at the start of an epic game.... its not always clear. But Shouldn't this experience of sorting things out be used as a lesson for newbees of how professionals deal with these situations? or (tongue in cheek) do you just quit.... (lol, sorry)

I understand you all have other games, and that this may not mean much to you, but please also understand this is my only pbem so far, and mean't a lot to me... so that might explain my passionate response earlier. also, re that response, i had my boss walk up behind me while typing.....so it maybe ended on a note different to that intended. Bare that in mind before writing me off......

final question- how many games are you guys involved in? if you care to answer.....

thanks for your time

James I
 
I am involved currently in 5 games on civfanatics and a longer epic type game on civ3players ... so 6 pbem games in total. Unfortunately they all seem to come into my warningu2 inbox at the the same time. :)

Now as for this game ... I thought the game turn had a virus so I considered it finished but if not and you can find another sub I'm willing to continue. We need to get more than 1 turn in a week. 2-3 turns a week is normal and 1 turn every 1-2 days is preferred. Had a I realized that this was going to be a "longer turn interrupted" type game going in, I wouldn't have had the expectation about normal play turns.

I didn't realize this is your first pbem game.... sorry. Yes you're right we need to cut you some slack as a noob game. I guess when you came out with gloves off swinging I came back with the same. Sorry. I don't, despite what was implied here, quit games. In this case I thought we were flogging a dead horse. But if the horse is back on it's feet ... let's ride off.
