Who's got the save??

 

[Chieftess]

Didn't Grey Fox give it to you? Or, did you finish yet? If so, I haven't gotten it from Munzy.

 

[col]

I sent it to Munzy so I guess he has it.
Can you PM me with all his email addresses and I'll send it again.

 

[SunTzu]

can we not just post the saves here?

Kind of defeats the purpose of Play By Email if you get my point



Of course, it might work better.

We can - but upload is a little flaky and it will fill up the server pretty rapidly if every PBEM game did that.

Give Munzy a :boot:

 

[SunTzu]

well let me fill you all in on a little secret.
civ2 pbem's we upload the saves to thegame thread.
And the server is fine, and every PBEM in Civ2 does it

 

[col]

Ok then - here's the save I sent Munzy three days ago.

Palehorse76's new alter ego - didn't you hear?

SunTzu, the PTW save files are much bigger than the Civ2 ones. In one of my PBEM games, we'd been using the Uploads feature to toss files betw us. Turns out we're holding 45 Mbs hostage, when I request TF to delete them...

 

[SunTzu]

ok, guess email then..

Or we could just upload the saves, Zipped with a Prefix name, like Staff-000X.zip and TF could just delete those when the game is complete...

Which is why I asked TF once about the ability to keep track of your own uploads so you can delete them.

Yeah, take a look at my idea in the Site Feedback. I think it is in Knight-Dragon's Delete files Thread. http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?postid=724334#post724334

Email works better for me than uploading - faster and I can keep track of files sent and received. Dare I suggest that my computer crashes less often than CFC. I'm in about 10 pbem games at present and uploading every time sould be a pain in the ****.

See Anarres thread for a future possibility.

well thats what we do at Civ2 PBEM, we zip our files, right now i'm asking everyone to go back and deleted their old saved games, i think so far we've freed up about 200mb of space lol

 

[col]

Just curious but how do you delete a file you've uploaded. I thought only TF could do that?

 

[Matrix]

Just edit the post, col.

On topic: I want progress! Where's munzy?!

 

[SunTzu]

I talked ot Munzy and i dunno what the hell he's doing.
BTW i don't think i posted my email
