1792 No frills PBEM

[barbarossa2]

Like I said, I will do whatever you guys want to do.

HiHi

I emailed Chindits when I got in from work this morning asking that if he still had probs to at least do his turn & email it with B2s turn on to me and I would then do the merge as an intrim measure, so I feel that as Monte suggest we give him till tommorow ie 24 hrs.

It may well be as there has been no comunication with a previously reliable player that something quite serious has gone down, eg his puters blown or some personal prob of a very serious nature.

So just as a suggestion hows about, if no message by tomorrow morning we ask an Indipendent player from another game to merge the turn for us just leaving Spain as is, ie no actions.

How I "think?" it could work is if the independent player, (Mat would be ideal if he would, he has the knowledge/experiance) was sent the opening french turn to set up the game paramiters and the last completed turn, then he could pick up the current turns from the Hotmail MB, B2 you would have to post your turn there, and then run the merge, that would at least get this turn back up and running while we advertise for a new Spain.

Thoughts?

All the Best

I agree, with Kingmaker. Good idea. Hopefully Chindits will show up soon, but if not here by tomorrow, have that independent game player combine the move, just to keep things moving.

[Mus]

My worry would be that he does show up, but this 3-4 day absence thing becomes a pattern. If it does I hope we don't have to wait a couple weeks before looking for another player.

[barbarossa2]

I will send my move to the nofrills account today. So that whoever needs to combine can do it.

[Kingmaker]

HiHi

B2 while you are on line, please do that ASAP, Mat gonna do the merge for us.

All the Best

HiHi

Hope I caught B2, anyhow to finish off, Mat has kindly agreed to help us out which earns him massive "I'm a Good Guy!!! " points in my book and will merge the files leaving Spain with a blank move for this turn later on today, I'll send him the relevant start and last turn files, + Hotmail stuff so he can access everybody’s files.

Think enough time has passed to warrant looking for a new Spain player so unless anyone objects vehemently (and quickly!) I will post up an advert for a new player in a bit.

All the Best
Peter

[barbarossa2]

I am going to email my files to "nofrills" right now. Could take 10 minutes. But I am doing it NOW.

[barbarossa2]

French turn 23 in.

[Matto]

Sirs,
files merged, turn 24 ready for your sabres ...
Good luck to all

[timurlain]

I am confused as there are no files in my inbox. What have I done wrong ?

[Kingmaker]

HiHi

All praise to St. Matto the Magnificant [&o] we are back up and running, ... well for a bit anyhow.

Tom the files are posted on the Hotmail 'No Frills' account pick them up from there.

All the Best
Peter

So I hear you guys need a Spain replacement? I am VERY tempted to take it. This game is great for PBEM, and you guys are fun bunch. However, with two already going, I'm already feeling a bit overtaxed . . . yes I know an "intelligent" player can crank out turns in 5 min, but then in doing so, you also make stupid mistakes like not bother reading the rule book. The semester is about to start and I have deadlines looming . . . also I would like to play out the two I'm already in with total focus. Once either one of those ends, only then would I be up for another one. Sorry
 
Isn't there a way to turn a position over to the AI? If you guys figured out a reasonable set of house rules to prevent everyone dogpiling Spain AI immediately, then that might be the best solution at this point. Plus, if you are already playing at like Bonaparte difficulty, and Spain is doing as well as I've been led to believe, then handing that position over to the AI might not be the worst thing.

[timurlain]

I thought so but I cannot find the login information as I must have deleted, could someone please post me that ?

[Mus]

Austria in.

[Kingmaker]

HiHi

On it's way Tom.

All the Best
Peter

[barbarossa2]

Perhaps we could ask Anthropoid to take over Spain until we find someone else? And work hard to make that happen?

[barbarossa2]

I will have a 100,000 man army next to Paris by the end of next turn. No problems.


LOL... that looks funny by itself![X(]

[montesaurus]

Turkish Turn 24 is done.
By the way, I have introduced COGEE to another gamer, and he is interested in possibly taking on Spain's role. But he won't be up and ready for another week. He has to practice some yet. So, unless Kingmaker can come up with someone he is a possiblity.
Glad the game is going again![:'(]

[IronWarrior]

Matto, thanks so much for helping us out with the merge. I hadn't even realized this as I haven't been paying proper attention as I should.
