played, sent to ankka

 

[Ankka]

sent onward.. amazing how it takes over 48 hours to get the save again.

 

[bamf226]

The delay you experience is typically because of the weekend.

 

[Ankka]

Ahah, that's true, in the muslim world the weekend is on thursday and friday, I always forget the difference.

 

[bamf226]

I am concerned now that I haven't seen a turn all week. Can anyone shed some light on the delay?

Overall I am curious why we are having such problems playing. None of my other PBEM games I'm in are having so many hiccups. Is this just coincidence or is something else going on? Anyone care to comment?

 

[Ankka]

I don't know, but I have indeed noticed that the game is pretty dead.

I guess we have too many players, it increases the possibility of getting stalled.

 

[SV110MHH]

Not trying to place blame but I play as soon as I get the file... or that evening at the latest... I can only play from like 7-11 PM ET... but if I get one during the day... I play it and send it out.

 

[bamf226]

I'm not trying to blame anyone just trying to figure out what's going on. We have the capability because of time zones to do one turn a day, but it rarely happens that way.

 

[jbieksha]

No reason to give up hope. I sent 3720 BC to SV on Sunday April 6th. I was out of commission the whole weekend. With this many players, I set my expectations at 2 turns per week. Give or take based on timings and habits.

 

[bamf226]

It sounds like the next turn has not reached you yet as I started the next turn Monday morning.

 

[kneark]

I currently have the file, I got it last night and it will be sent on to jbieksha this evening.

EDIT: 3680 BC has been sent to jbieksha!

 

[jbieksha]

Great timing - I was about to sign off for the night when I got the file (or it would have been another 24 hours).

3680 to SV.

 

[SV110MHH]

Off to bam....

You know what sucks... when you are on those turns where you have nothing to do but send the file on lol.

 

[bamf226]

3640 BC sent to Ankka

 

[Ankka]

SV, I agree, that is really annoying in the beginning of the game.

But when that's the problem you just gotta start making action happen on the field yourself.

Sending in some minutes.

 

[SV110MHH]

Are we done?

 

[bamf226]

I hope not, but once the save file leaves me I have no control. based on previous posts from everyone else, it seems like Gilgamesh is unable to play as frequently as the rest of us. Ankka, kneark, jbieksha, and SV all seem to post the movement of the file within 24 hours barring a computer problem.

 

[Ankka]

Yes it does seem like one person is making the game... stall.

If this game soon won't start rolling, I'll quit, I see no point in playing a game where the end is reachable in maybe 10 years.
