Hold on people!
We wanted an interregnum, and we got one. Joe got us to Monarchy in blitzkreig fashion! 14 turns rather than 22 is very good in my book.
Only 15 or so votes this time in the election.
When does the PF election close?
My humbe apologies about the Monarchy tech issue. If you want to yell at someone, then yell at me. It was my bust. I was so excited about so many other details that I forgot to look deep enough into prereqs for Monarchy.
Sorry all. Where do we go from here?
I would suggest that we close the election poll. APR takes the victory, and we move on. Most people in my faction have finals to attend to, and I have allot going on at work and with my family and my house, etc...
The people voicing themselves in this poll are the most active I think. Many of our population are college students or people who have settled down with their lives and professionals. College students are undergoing final exams, and will no doubt soon be off to summer vactations. I think we have to tollerate a slow down in the warmer months.
If we end the elections now, I could get instructions rolling for a play chat on Wednesday, and hopefully, another by Friday.
I'm going to level with you. My strength in this community is right here, on the forum, building coallitions and bringing the right people together, and leading them. Unfortunately, I also have a major weekness potentially. I cannot commit to live play chats
Obviously, I cannot play the game while at work. By the time I get home, it's a mad rush of work preparing dinner, helping with homework, then getting the kids to bed, not to mention walking our dog. By then, we're talking 9PM EST.
I love this game, and I squeeze time in where I can, mostly on weekend mornings when I wake up before the kids. It's funny how we all find ways to tend to our addictions, lol.
But seriously, if my weekness is going to damage this DG much further, then I will immediately step down. My main motivation for taking on more of a leadership roll was to keep things rolling.
We need to probably seriously regroup the population, find out who's still in it for the long haul, and depend on those people to forge a plan for the way forward. I'm thinking we're down to about 20 people, who will participate in discussions and story lines here. Is that enough population to support factions?
I'm game for going along, and I feel that changing the faction aspect now is only going to derail this DG much more so than it already may be.
Again, I think we should all be happy with Joe stepping up and getting us through Monarchy so quickly. Now, let's get on with the rest of it!
~kwp Hoping to continue.

I agree. Seems we have won the election and should get organized before the next turn session. We should appoint Citizens to positions of responsibility. We also need to update the Faction under HR. Lets not make the mistakes of the past. I have some extra time over the next few days so I'll help you with anything that needs done.

Thanks in advance.

Tomorrow is the next turnsession (by BCLG) so I suggest you (or BCLG) make them after that turnsession.

You can set the screenshot format (JPG/TPG/PNG I guess?) in your options screen, somewhere...

Thanks for the help Dutch, so it is the type of file I am using that may be causing this? The weird thing is it only happens on certain screenies. Then if I give it 2 or 3 tries one will usually make it through. Oh well it's just a pain in the rear having to pop the task manager to check which screenies made it, over and over. Some times no matter how many times I do a screenshot it just won't work

Open Microsoft Paint

Ctrl + V (or just paste) in Paint
Save as....

Lord Civius, I had no idea you were having so much trouble. I'm sorry. I don't mess with paint. It's too much of a hassle. I downloaded the 20/20 program way back, probably 2002, and have used it for all of my Civfanatics uploads.
Go to byLight.com, I believe it is, and d/l 20/20. Instalation is easy. In File/Preferences, choose as Capture key your Printscreen, and below that, capture with Mouse Pointer. That way you can choose exactly what you want to capture and save. Save you files as JPG, and maybe create a special folder for them. It's really easy with a small footprint.
If you try it and have any questions, let me know. There are so many options, you can basically do what you want.

Hi, fed1943. No, the 20/20 program is a graphics utility that let's you capture and edit/alter most any pic. Your LightScribe program is for etching or burning labels ono your CDs/DVDs after your burn data/music onto them. Looks like a nice program.

It's actually byLight Technologies. It's easier to pick it up from other sites as a download as it was pretty popular in it's day. Check your PMs.
Was the save posted in the game save summary thread?
