Hey Vancouver, who do you send the game to? That one download was me downloading it to make sure I wasn't the one holding the game up. Whoever you send the game to either doesn't know he's supposed to download it, or doesn't come here anymore. My recommendation is this: find out who is holding this game up and retire their civ. I know it's fun to have more people in the game but not at the expense of not being able to play the game.

Vancouver, it is my recommendation that whoever you send the game to needs to be dropped from the game. I recommend that you do the following:
-Retire that person's civ because he's not checking his e-mails and he's not visiting this board.
-Send the turn to the next person and also post it here.
-Put out an updated player list with e-mails with the replacements. The only replacement I can think of is civaddict took over Predesad's place.
Just my recommendations to keep this game moving.

Sent the game to purvisxii. Also going to attach it here.
Got it thanks fanste, played and sent.
Not bad guys, a turn completed in 3 days!
Unfortunately however a few of us still aren't posting when they've played and sent. To reiterate - this needs to happen so we can all see who has the turn. If it doesn't happen, then we won't have the coordination necessary to make this a worthwhile game and it will fizzle out into nothing.
Please lets keep this very promising game going!!

I am going out of town Saturday afternoon and will be back Sunday evening. Times are east coast USA. Have a good weekend.
But I know where the game is at so I probably won't be missed.

alright the save has now turned up.
apologies for the pissed off tone of my above post, but i really can't understand why some of us are so reluctant to post when they've sent. it would certainly help a lot in keeping this game moving.

I agree. Played and sent. Now we will see who doesn't post or send the game in a timely manner.

I sent the game over 24 hours ago and no response. Hmm...

Apparently... 
Now if I were in Windows right now, I'd play and send it immediately. But I'm in Linux (fulfilling my need to write PHP code), so I'll send it by the end of the day.

Vancouver, I'm guessing you never played your turn because you never posted here that you did. Also, you haven't posted in our other game where you are the host that you ever played your turn even you have had it for the last 4 days. If you can't or don't want to continue with the game, could you please retire your civ and send the game along?

Well excuse me if I don't always post when I send the game...
I sent it two days ago to the email address of fanste's replacement (speckyrules@hotmail.com).

The problem is we are trying to figure out who is stopping the game. This game has been so crappy because everybody swears they are not holding up the game. But obviously somebody keeps holding it up and the only way to figure out who it is, is to post "played and sent" and we can track who holds the game up for days, drop them, and keep this game going.
Specky: Did you ever get the save?

I hate to say it, but this game is probably dead. It is for me at least. It's a shame too because it had such potential to be a good game.
My following comments are not directed at everybody in this game. If you know I'm not talking to you, you should be ok with them. If I happen to hurt your feelings, then chances are they are directed at you.
I really don't care if I hurt anybody's feelings here, but some people are just (fill in the blank) when it comes to playing these games. They show complete lack of respect for the other players. They are lower than (fill in the blank) in my book. But wait you say, "It's just a game!" That's true, it is just a game. But it's also more than that. You have people that are expecting something from you based upon your word. You gave your word to check your e-mail once a day, and if the turn was there, play it and send it along. If you were going to be gone, i.e. out of town on business or vacation, you would post that here and everything would be ok. So that's why I think some of these people (fill in the blank). They give their word to do a simple task, and they can't even do that. Their word is (fill in the blank) and the only thing they are good for in life (fill in some menial task). (I used to do that so if I hurt your feelings, so what.) If you can't be trusted to do one simple task like playing your turn and sending the game along, how can you be trusted to do complex tasks like teach my kids in school, police the highways in your patrol car, sell medicine at a pharmacy, or any other job that (fill in the blank). The answer is, you can't. You should feel embarassed if you signed up to play this game and don't check your e-mail, go out of town without giving the rest of us notice, or are simply too lazy to play your turn. Hey, if you are busy with work because the boss is riding your back, or if you are busy with school because finals are coming up, or if you are taking a vacation with the family now that the kids are out of school, no problem. Just let us know. And going back to the arguement of "It's just a game!" Well if it just a game, then play it. And if you don't want to play it, retire your civ and let the rest of us play.
I will get down from my soapbox now and play my other PBEMs with (fill in the blank) than there are in this game.
