PBEM: Neglected UK players - first multiplayer game

[Enkidu Warrior]

We don't seem to have got very far. Did you get the save BeefBayford?

 

[BeefBayford]

Sorry guys I wasn't online yesterday or this morning, just about to check my emails...

 

[BeefBayford]

Played my turns and sent the save on... sorry again for being late!

 

[Enkidu Warrior]

Don't worry about it. The beauty of PBEM is that you can take as long as you want. I just wanted to make sure we were up and running.

 

[Scowler]

Game now received, played and sent on!

One question: I noticed that my name appeared twice in the score list, once as the Indians and once as the Greeks

Is this some kind of bug as I assume the Greek leader should be Enkidu!

 

[Viper1812]

I have recieved the game, played and sent it on!
(After much confusion)
But how come Scowler's name appeared twice? Shouldn't it be Enkidu Warrior as Greeks?

 

[BeefBayford]

Funny because my name appeared twice aswell! Not sure it will affect the actual gameplay, maybe its a minor bug, hopefully fixed by the next patch.

 

[Enkidu Warrior]

If Beefy and Scowler both saw their own names in place of mine then I'd definately say it was a minor bug (the name for the first player will be tagged as being equal to the name of the current player rather than being fixed like the others). If so then it won't really matter.

I didn't get the attachment in Viper's e-mail, hopefully we'll get that sorted shortly.

 

[Viper1812]

Hi, I sent you another E-mail Enkidu with the game attached. I hope all goes well !

Just going to quickly hijack the thread to see if anyone is looking to start a second game.

Ingame Name : Fraz

[Enkidu Warrior]

I'm very confused. I loaded my turn but instead I got Viper's second turn. I also saw Scowlers name twice. Not sure what to do. How could I possibly get Vipers second turn?

Hey Fraz,

I am more than interested to!

Ingame name: Chuanster
Civ: French
Leader: Louise XiV

 

[Viper1812]

I am very confused too! How could you get my second turn????

 

[BeefBayford]

Bah well we could restart if you like, and if it happens again lets hope its a minor thing and will be addressed in the patch.

 

[Scowler]

There seem to be a number of threads, both here and at Apolyton, suggesting there is a bug involving player 1 in PBEM, particularly where diplomacy is concerned. I don't know whether this might have some significance here (I assume that you are set up as player 1, Enkidu?), but I'm starting to worry that this might cause problems later on. Since we've only played the first turn and nobody (presumably) stands to lose anything, I'm wondering if it might be better to either postpone the game until the patch is released, or start again, using one of the workarounds that bypasses player 1. Any thoughts?

 

[Enkidu Warrior]

I'll start it again when I get home from work tomorrow between 6 and 7. If possible, we could then try to get through a few turns in quick succession, that is if you're all available then. If we still run into problems we can abandon it for now.

Can I join the next game?

 

[Scowler]

Can I join the next game?

Fine by me, so long as everyone else agrees.

Can I also suggest that each player adds a password to his file (ALT+D)?

 

[Viper1812]

I think it is okay to let chuanster join the game! As long BeefBayford and Enkidu Warrior both agree with it.

 

[Enkidu Warrior]

Chuanster can join - if I get a pm with e-mail address and leader choice very soon!

EDIT: I'll put Chuanster up last. We don't need an e-mail address until then.
