Down at Fractal Rock - My First PBEM

[Armor (Veteran)]

I see everyone has signed up for pbemtracker

I entered in our settings, started the game, and uploaded my save for ricketyclik:

I'm going to ask whoever has the save to not play it for now, I may have forgotten to do something with the map and you may need to replay the first turn

 

[AdrienIer]

ricketyclik have you played ? Due to shifting your cap positions without editing the tile visibility you start with a lot of tiles scouted, and same is true for Phylhom (actually due to a mistake of mine). If you guys don't mind I can send the new map to grogburg and he can play his turn again.

REM you'll have no cause to complain about the quality of your civ/leader pairing.

 

[AdrienIer]

grogburg I can't send you a PM, the forum says you have too many PMs in your inbox...

 

[ricketyclik]

Whoops, played and sent before I read this.

 

[AdrienIer]

Oh... What do you guys think ? Should you just play on ? ricketyclik has a good chunk of land scouted and Phylhom can see the opening land of someone else due to a mixup.

I think we should better solve this while the game is still at it's first turn than regret it when we already have done too much - damage would be much worse in this case.

 

[AdrienIer]

Then I need grogburg to clean up his PMs or I can't send him the new save (this is what the forum tells me : The following errors occurred with your submission:
grogburg has exceeded their stored private messages quota and cannot accept further messages until they clear some space.)

I agree!

 

[grogburg]

Cleared. You can also send messages to grogburg@gmail.com

OK I replayed my turn and sent it to Armor, both via email and via the PBEM tracker -- though there was no error message in PBEM tracker, it still says it's Count1's turn rather than Armor's. I'm sure this will get straightened out soon enough.

I've seen tracker working exactly like this these days in another case of replaying turns. It should be allright. People should remember to DO NOT overwrite old save files with the new ones to avoid corruption issues. Just delete the old one first.

When I loaded up the save, it tells me that it's grogburg's turn. The focus appears to be on his stuff (I tried not to look closely), and the message "game paused by grogburg" appears.

I double-checked that I'm using the correct file (Down_at_Fractal_Rock_BC-4000_to_Armor_(Veteran)) that grogburg just uploaded. I'm guessing something else needs to be fixed and we need a do-over of the do-over?

Hopefully pbemtracker will be back on track whenever we get around to Count1.

 

[Alvarez_Player]

I've seen this before. Grogburg should delete any previous file he generated and play again, make sure that there's no pause message on screen and hit end game or enter key. He should read whatever message shows up, and exit the game only after the game says the new file has been succesfully created.

 

[grogburg]

OK, done.

 

[AdrienIer]

I'd like both players involved to confirm that they can only see their starting spots, whenever they get their save

 

[Count1]

Played and sent - I could only see my starting area

 

[grogburg]

I'm not sure Armor has played yet in the corrected version -- we might be getting ahead of ourselves if it's already academia's turn. Count1, is this the second file you've gotten or the first? If it's the first I think that's the old version in which some people got extra scouting info.

 

[academia]

ok, please let me know if i have to play my turn or not...

 

[Armor (Veteran)]

Just re-played my first turn with the corrected file, so it should now be ricketyclik's turn to replay his.
