NEW GAME - Apocalypse

[Arangarx]

Lol, that is actually one setting I was really debating about. It was a tossup between flat and toroidal. The reason I went with toroidal is that it pretty much sticks everyone equidistant. If everyone would prefer flat so you have 2 "safe" sides, then we can do that too.

 

[Trainwreck20]

Oh, I really don't care, it just got me to thinking.

Anyway, a mobius map would be really cool.

 

[mabeco]

Toroidal is much more realistic (good).
Do we go for 4x2 start?

 

[Trainwreck20]

I am ready whenever everyone else is.....and I really don't mind whatever the settings are .

 

[Arangarx]

Alright, I'll finalize the settings today and tomorrow and I'm going to double check that I have an email for everyone. I'll also double check the time zones if they've been given and try to make sure that those won't get in the way. So if you haven't given me your contact info, make sure you do so as soon as possible. I will be sending each of you your temporary game password, which I believe you can change once in the game (ctrl + d I believe...I'll confirm this).

Remember, however you choose to send your emails you need to at least send the save file on to the person whose turn is next, and an update to me telling me that you've sent the file on to the next person and the name of the file.

 

[Trainwreck20]

Actually, it does not matter (in my experience) what you put in for temporary passwords....you don't need it and will be able to set your own password on your first turn.

I'm ready to go whenever the rest of you are. Downloaded the Ruff's client, and it's working well.

 

[Arangarx]

The game is underway! Good luck and have fun

 

[Game_Addy]

I keep getting an error message whenever I try to load the game(probably when I changed <bAIPlayable> to 1 for the Minors. Reloaded the patch, and still no success. I'm going to uninstal/reinstall the game. However, before I'll be able to play the game, I have to leave for work at 1430. I'll be back at 2200 PST after work.

 

[Game_Addy]

tried to send the email via the PBEM client by Hi_Ruff. I think it went through, but if you don't get it, let me know, and I'll send it manually.

 

[Trainwreck20]

Hmmmm....I have not received anything ....just checked my bulk, too.....check you out box, and see what is sent.....

 

[Game_Addy]

Sorry about the long wait, finally figured the problem. Guess the program doesn't like non-gmail accounts(or atleast mine ). Sent for sure to Trainwreck now.

I don't have Ruff's stuff set up yet, but will do so shortly.....

Okay, Gothik, you might get two saves (at least if my automated attempt worked). Let me know if you got the save twice, then I will know everything is working good .

 

[Arangarx]

Out of curiosity, what did you try to use besides a gmail account? If the pbem emailer assumes gmail, that may just be because it is one of the few that offers use of their smtp servers.

 

[Game_Addy]

my Yahoo account. Well, I think that brings up accounts under gmail to around 3(can never remember the password/username for them...)

 

[Port16]

I just sent my turn off. I'm using the PBEM emailer, so if anyone who hasn't received an email would like to, let me know, and give me your address.

Anyone else using the mailer, I would like to receive a GPS email, if it isn't a problme. ms.thenetworker AT gmail DOT com.

Game On!

Apocalypse_BC-3975_to_Game_Addy sent

 

[Game_Addy]

Apocalypse_BC_3975_to_Trainwreck20 en route. I believe 3 times. GPS to Port16 and Trainwreck20. The first one, I pressed "send" and proceeded to type something in a different program. Don't know what I pressed, or what window came up, but it took my command. Re-sent, got a "Not Responding". Added myself to the list to receive save/GPS. Sent package again, and displayed "Not Responding" once again, though I received both the GPS and the game file. Appologies for the multiple game-saves and emails.

 

[Ulfang]

So much for technology. I'll stick to manual emails I think lol

 

[Trainwreck20]

No problem, I did get the game three times, but that is much better the '0' . I am just figuring this out, too, but I think it will make my life a bit easier.

For the record, I am sending the GPS message to Arangarx and Port16. I am assuming that no one else is interested unless they tell me. If you are interested, email me or let me know.
