***********************VERY IMPORTANT ******************

Please us the "workaround" to load your first turn, difficulty is EMPEROR (we will be at Regent diff. but the AIs will be on Emperor).
Follow Melifluous instructions from that thread :

I have already played the first turn and sent it to Plux.

See you all on Sunday.

 

[Lt. 'Killer' M.]

I will very probably NOT make it day after tomorrow, at least nto at 9. I can leave in Ulm at about 19:30 and it is a 100 min drive, so wish me free roads.....

 

[Lt. 'Killer' M.]

Oh happy day.....

what a start

 

[Skyfish]

So you got the file from Plux ?

 

[Lt. 'Killer' M.]

yep, and passed it on as instructed

 

[Skyfish]

You a good man !
I got a horrible starting location so there you go....

 

[Lt. 'Killer' M.]

poor you! I have... IIRC two game on river plus cattle for town 2 and furs close

 

[Plux]

I started reasonably with at least a river and a luxury nearby..

 

[BobTheTerrible]

3pm on Sunday? Sounds good to me. I don't know my schedule for tomoorow but that should be ok. For me, weeknights from like 5-9 are good, but that would be like 3 in the morning for skyfish, right?

Just a question: it doens't matter if we litter this thread with dozens of posts, does it?

 

[BobTheTerrible]

Uh oh. I tried to e-mail Lt 'Killer' M a reply for confirming the workaround method, but the following error came up:

" This Message was undeliverable due to the following reason:

Each of the following recipients was rejected by a remote mail server.
The reasons given by the server are included to help you determine why

I tried e-mailing twice, and both times this came up. I don't know if this will happen for DogBoy, though. I will try a test e-mail.

For the workaround method, all you do is go to multiplayer games, host a local game, make type PBEM, and set difficulty and load it, right? I read the instructions, but I just want to make sure.

 

[Skyfish]

Yeah, go for it , just try !
We should only have to do this the first time.
Plux you know more than me, can you help ?
Killer-M do I have the right adress for you ?

 

[BobTheTerrible]

I just replied to his e-mail, as in hit the reply button so email is ok

 

[BobTheTerrible]

OK, sent to Dogboy, used the difficulty method fine and e-mail for Dogboy is fine.

May I suggest creating a single name for the game, like "Ahonorablepbem" which "A" is in for alphabetical order. This way we wont have hundreds of saves foating around.

 

[DogBoy]

I may not be able to make it this Sunday guys. Like Killer_M I will have a long drive Sunday morning to make it home. I will do my best though

 

[Skyfish]

OK DogBoy just try to load the game the proper way and send it to me ASAP.
BoB, I thought there was already a single name starting with "SK1", let me check when I get the game back.

Well the problem with a power session is that EVERYONE of us needs to be present and play, so if just one of us fails, we can't ahve the session....tricky but just managing a few sessions will be already good to get us going.

OK everyone how does Tuesday night, same time sound ? (9pm GMT)

 

[BobTheTerrible]

That would be 3:00 for me? I wouldn't be able to do that. Even thought school gets out at 2:30, I need to take the train and I don't get home 'till 4-ish. But I could do it then, in fact probably 98% of all weeknights. Can we reschedule around that?

 

[Lt. 'Killer' M.]

I will make 23:00 here if it goes as it did yesterday, when they were 2 h late in the evening (second day tournament at the same place).....


as for my mail: I have blocked several mail addresses by @xyz.ext because I get enourmous amounts of spam from them. Yours should be OK though

 

[Lt. 'Killer' M.]

Tuesday looks good!

 

[Plux]

Tuesday is ok for me too.. I guess we would start between 21.30 and 22.00 then?

 

[BobTheTerrible]

For today at 3:00, I cant. Earliest would probably be 5, but tuesday sounds good.
