Ahh, that explains the nice save and exit reminder in the previous post.

/me slaps Tiamat upside the head

It is 11pm EST and the game hasn't cycled back to me, who ever has it please play it! Maybe we need to get a schedule made up of when people will be able to play, i was under the understanding that evenings were good for everyone.

It's probably stuck on tiamat. I've seen Hobbes around the board tonight and I sent it to him a while ago so I'm sure he's taken his turn just hasn't posted it yet.

Just noticed that I hadn't posted my turn.

Hobbes you did get the game earlier today right?

 

[Tiamat]

Hobbes sent it to me, but when I open it, it gives me the Celts, and I can't get to my Civ. I e-mailed him back to ask him to resave his turn and re-send it, but I haven't received anything yet.

 

[Hobbes]

Sorry guys, I will resend it latter this afternoon.

 

[Quillan]

Alright, hopefully we can iron these types of bugs out fairly quickly. Just remember to END YOUR TURN, then the game will ask you to save and exit and then send it along... that should do it . I'll be home until mid afternoon, then during the evening, so hopefully we can get a couple of turns in today.

 

[Tiamat]

OK. Hobbes resent it to me and this time it worked. Seems like it was the same problem as what happened with my first turn file which I sent to Quillian. Anyway, played my turn and sent it to Quillian.

 

[Quillan]

played and passed to essex.

 

[Essex]

Well I got an email from you, but no sav file

OK, got the file that time, played and passed on to Hobbes.

 

[Tiamat]

OK I had the same problem with the save file for Turn 3 as the last turn, which I think was the same one Quillian had after my first turn, but I think I figured out what is causing it.

If you are already playing a game, you can't just load the PBEM save. You have to exit PTW, start it again and load the PBEM save without loading any other save first. I tried numerous combinations, and the only time that it works correctly for me is in this manner. If I try to load the save after loading/playing another save/game first, I always get Persia (Essex) waiting for end turn, then the Celts (Hobbes) come up. If I restart PTW and then load the PBEM first, it gives me the Celts start message, but then asks for my password as it should.

Turn 4 has been played and passed on.

Turn 5 has apparently gone all the way round and is back to Hobbes.

As has turn 6.

Ditto for turn 7.

And turn 8 has come and gone.

This is going fairly well, turn 9 is on the go. Lets see if we can get a few turns done today (saturday)!
Good luck all, hopefully we'll meet soon and then we can conspire

Turn 9 has come to me and been passed on

As has turn 10

If i get it back before 11:30 I'll take my next turn immediately, otherwise I'm out until about 2 PM Pacific.

 

[Tiamat]

I am just on my way out for a few hours. I should be back around 1 PM PST. Turn 10 hasn't reached me yet. so I will have to play it when I get back.

 

[Quillan]

Turn 11 is now making the rounds, hopefully we'll meet up soon!

 

[Essex]

Turn 11 has reached me and passed on.

My civilizations wise men are concerned by the sight of water in almost every direction.

Persians were not meant to be confined to an island.

 

[Quillan]

Ha, i'm sure the vikings are pleased.

 

[Hobbes]

11 is making the rounds.

 

[Tiamat]

Turn 11 completed.
