Launched in orbis - another PBEM game

[Old_Lion]

Let's say : send my game to cvx between today and sunday.
I'll forward my pasword to him.

 

[cvx]

Soooo ... wheres the game?

 

[cvx]

5 days now since i saw the last save.

 

[Kalina]

I think it's my fault this time :/ I were to send game to you, instead of OldLion ? If so, I didn't notice it... and I need your e-mail anyway.

 

[Old_Lion]

I'm back.
send me my save again.

going to see my mail now.

 

[Old_Lion]

Oki, looks like it turned to a mess :
My lack of sufficient planning show.

next time I'll send detailled mail to everybody involved in advance...

sorry for the inconvenience. Now, back to action.

 

[Old_Lion]

So, let's plan ahead this time :
I'll be on holydays for three weeks in august (1 to 20) (I'm french, I have around 8 weeks of holydays a year to spend.)
It will be difficult for me to connect to internet.
So I propose an alternative :
1 - I play every three days or so during these three weeks.
2 - Cvx plays for me : If it is ok with everybody, I'll send him precise instructions, and send detailled mails with all relevant information to Kalina and Cvx.

any feedack appreciated.

turn 94 sent to cvx on the 24th.
is it stuck somewhere ?
+
turn 100 approaching fast.
a civ is going to be dumped.

is cvx still last in score, or is an AI lagging behind ?

I got save from Jarrema, but it seems it's old one, I mean one I already played.
Sent rumble, btw.

 

[Jarrema]

When I get home I will check it, but it will take about 8 hours

 

[Kalina]

Turn 94 sent on Saturday morning. Where is it now ? ;>

 

[Jarrema]

my mistake I believe...
Turn 94 sent to Kalina

 

[Jarrema]

Yeah!
Turn 100!
Let us celebrate

 

[Kalina]

Yeah!
Turn 100!
Let us celebrate

Nothing to celebrate here. News of mysterious disaster wiping out entire Khazad race reached Luchirp cities, causing much grief among citizens

 

[Jarrema]

Yesss!
Only one short people remain!
We wish them the same fate, so the Bannor citiziens can shine as a true power over Erebus

 

[Kalina]

What happened to the game ? I haven't seen save in a while...

 

[Jarrema]

Kalina, did You get turn 100 from me?
i have never seen turn 101.

It seems to be a common problem... I'm participating in 3 Orbis PBEMs (in fact, in 4, but the fourth has just launched), and in all of them something has happened

 

[Jarrema]

Yes!!!
Another turn!!!

...

Turn 101 sent to Kalina

 

[Old_Lion]

HI !
I'm back from holydays.

arrangement from my replacement should take an end now.

mail sent to involved actors.

 

[Old_Lion]

Well.

The holydays have taken their toll, and we have had a rough summer in term of pace.

I kind of expected things to get back to normal now, but the game is still slow.
I long for the one turn a day we had at a point.

I'd like to have a quick review of who :
1- is no longer motivated and would like a replacement
2- is still motivated, is not yet in optimal condition for playing but will be in a not so far future.
3- is just impatiently waiting for the next turn. Have the game rolling !

I expect mainly 2nd and 3rd case.
For myself, I am now in the third case, even though I was in the second until not long ago...
