1792 No frills PBEM

[Franck]

Yes it is and I will have to tell someone to play my turn again I believe...


I'm going camping tomorow and coming back friday late in the afternoon. I had hoped I would get that turn soon enough to send it out tonight...

I do agree with Mus... We keep going further than the 48 hours turnaround. Could it be possible to ask someone to play your turns if your sure you'll be unable to play for a while????? Migth be harder for you guys (because you don't have the turn until I send...) But it's easy for me.


Anyways do as you wish, I don't mind that much slow games... I'm just a bit surprised that we played like 4 turns in 2 weeks.

France's turn has been in for several hours now.
 
I can't execute and combine files. Long story. Very long story.

[Franck]

Russian turn got in...


Asked someone to do my turn. If he can't (combine problem he can ask someone else). Otherwise I'm back tomorrow...

Alot of stuff is happening rigth now (most of wich GF dumbed me!) So it's a good thing for you guys... Not that much for me!

Hi Guys,
Franck asked me to do his turn, and then combine them and get them back to everyon. I hope Ididn't screw up. Please let me know if I did, but be kind! [&o]

[Mus]

Sorry to report this turn is a "dud" of the kind we saw in Another PBEM from time to time before Kingmaker finally found out exactly what was causing that and how to prevent it from happening.

Kingmaker, could you give monte instructions on how to avoid this when he remerges?

Cant wait for the redo. I want to get somewhere in this game.

[montesaurus]

Yes, that would be great! The manual doesn't actually explain very well the process of combining turns, and I would like to understand it!

[Mus]

Here is the post he wrote about the issue once he figured it out. Try following this procedure and see if it works this time:

HiHi

Eric is on the case but in the meantime here is a C&P from another thread to act as a warning re the 'Combine PBEM files' process.

HiHi

OK here’s what I think the prob is and this can act as a warning for those who Merge the files in future games.

The whole merge turn must be done as a continuous process, from ‘combine PBEM files' to ‘End Game’.

So, if for example Visitors turn up, the Dog has puppies or the Lady of the house demands full on instantaneous ‘Fun & Frolics’ or whatever, you can’t just ‘Save’ the file as you would with normal turns and come back later to complete the turn, you have to go back and start again at ‘Combine PBEM files'.

All the Best

Oh. So the turn was a dud. Grrr. I've already posted a new turn I thought it was simply my stupidly done turn, that resulted in nothing happening. Anywayd Prussian turn 9 done (although useless). So I get my goodies points squared for sending in turn before I got one

[Kingmaker]

HiHi

Sent Monte Screenshots and rundown as soon as I got home from work (07:53 GMT) so hopefully its arrived OK.

All the Best

Hi Guys,
I think I figured out the problem, and have resent files. Let me know, and lets hope this works![:'(]

[montesaurus]

Turkish Turn is In!

[Franck]

Hi everyone!

Plz find a replacement for me... Alot of fucked up stuff happening lately! I got to take care of all that and it makes me not want to play...

Really sorry!

[Kingmaker]

HiHi

Franck, fully understand, Hope you get things sorted OK, and hopefully we'll see you back in action in the PBEM scean before too long.

Good Luck.

All the Best
Peter

Ask whoever gets chosen to send me a mail to my normal hotmail account.

I'll send him the latest diplomatic letters I got. And diplomatic deals I made.

[Mus]

Are we still going to be using the nofrills email account for this game?

Also, who is the first player up on the reserve list to replace Franck?

[Kingmaker]

HiHi

Francks call if he is OK to leave the account open I suppose.

Already emailed Lenin last night, will give it till Midday (ish) GMT then make it an open call 1st come 1st served.

All the Best
Peter

Ill take Spain, unless you found another replacement for Franck allready
 
Franck, ill do my best to build on your foundation.
 
Email is chindits@he-net.dk, timezone gmt +1.

HiHi

Good of you to step up to the plate and2, welcome on board.

Info you will need for Merging, all our T9 files are on the Hotmail account Franck set up.

To acces this account:
Go to hotmail.com
Username: nofrills1792@hotmail.com
Password: 1792nofrills

Just in case you ain't done Merging before below is a C&P of how to go about it. Screenshots show what you need to have ready to select before, and the after showes them all highlighted, to do that you need to use the 'Ctrl', not 'Shift as is normal for sequential highlighting.

Screenshot 1 below, will have to do 2nd as seperate post.

Remember you must do the whole Merge sequence in one go from clicking on;
'Combine PBEM files' on the Main screen,
click 'Open',
Select Spain from menue
Enter password for Spain,
do your turn,
then 'End turn'

What I do then is 'Exit the game compleatly, then open up again and go check that things have moved etc. etc.

Any probs email me at powtwo@btinternet.com

All the Best
Peter
