Checking Mailbox For PBEM Turn

[jeffk3510]

1. Leave to run an errand. The turn will arrive 2.3 minutes after you leave. You will then realize had you not left, there is a chance you and your opponent could have flipped another turn that day, but now there's no chance. Drat!

2. Try to go to bed at a decent hour. However, your sleep will be resless as you mind refuses to give up ruminating over the map. Finally, you will doze, only to awake at a terribly early hour to check your in box.

3. Your wife calls to you coquettishly from the bedroom. Okay. That does the trick.

A turn replay or the game file arrives RIGHT as I leave for work.. never fails.

I hate when my phone goes off... DROOOOID.. I am pumped.. look at it... Amazing New Penny Stock Ready to Blast Off!

That is so true.[:D]

This is precisely why there is so much traffic on this forum, and why the PBEM crowd is VERY WELL represented here as well.......

looking at my Il-2 picture of the Reisen

that might be the best angle...

This looks just like my desktop.... Even the docs behind your open screens are WitP related: (torpedo command... war plan orange....)


I think we are all sickos.

You're lucky. My opponent sent me a mail pretending he needs "time to figure how and where to go next". That's happened one week ago and I'm still waiting for news from him but I guess I'd better to write off this game [:@]. So what I do between turns? I figure how to kill my opponent and how to start a new PBEM (but I'd like a DaBigBabes this time!).

[Miller]

I often contemplate starting up a second game during the quiet times in my current one.......but I know I wouldn't be able to cope when both opponents are cranking out the turns at a decent rate. Maybe when I retire in 28[:(] years time..........

[zuluhour]

I thought I'd post a little tease here for you guys.

[zuluhour]

Then I finish my post and check my mailbox...[:D]
I got a raft of reinforcements this turn and it is taking me a long time to deploy them. You should have turn 709 by the time you get back from work on Tuesday.

Exactly - turn arrives before work and of course I've got time to watch it- sure I won't be late (not). Find out on a 2 day turn half way through the replay my opponent is bombarding with a gazillion units in the Chunking seige. Half an hour later I've got to the end of the replay.

Viperpol and I have just passed 1,000 turns in our game. Two and a half years of combat. We generally do a turn a day. Except, when there is a big battle, he takes an extra day. We just had a big carrier battle near Yap in 9/44. Waiting the extra day almost killed me. Yeah, come to think of it, Ithink he is "trying" kill me. [X(]

[nashvillen]

rjopel and I have been playing for about 2.5 years ourselves. We are near the end of March 1944. We try to get a turn or two a day done, but some days none and some days, when the stars and moon are aligned right we can get a whole week done in a day.

[Miller]

Canoerebel and Myself often did 6-7 turns a day in our game, and throw in 2 day turns and we managed to complete the game (I surrendered in April 45) in just under a year.

[Canoerebel]

That's right. It was an intoxicating ride in which I found myself about a year behind in real life. I'm still trying to get my yard mowing caught up. Thirty-nine inch grass is challenging...

[Commander Stormwolf]

Well Adso,

you have also taken a week once to do a turn

--> let's just say there are many things to be done


it takes a while to find ways around the really annoying / limiting
aspects of managing the japanese side (it takes a lot longer than allies..)

I talk to the ex-wife...



It keeps the rage at the proper level.

NO,no,no,no, never, never never!!!

She might find away to get back into my (or your) life in some way and start the hell all over again. I think the alcoholic beverages is a much better way to pass the time away. Even a hangover is less painful.

Well Commander, that's never happened I'm afraid you're a little bit confused. But the real problem is not with your delays, but with communications. IMHO it's just a matter of politeness introducing himself or saying "I'm sorry but I won't be able to send my turn until...". Only my opinion of course

[larryfulkerson]

"*by the way: who can guess the movie?"

Here's Kate Beckinsale from THAT movie.

[CyrusSpitama]

Larry, while I cannot find any fault with the picture you posted and in fact, would like to expound upon it, I shall refrain Pretty sure Commander was referring to the movie in his pic he posted.
Been quite a while since I watched it but, isn't that a scene from Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels? Regardless, it triggers a Guy Ritchie memory cell.

[jeffk3510]

Larry, I like your style.

You're cool in my book.

Lovely pic.[&o]

[Commander Stormwolf]

Lock, Stock, and 2 Smoking Barrels it is..

also having a look at new correct production model -
just starting the scenario, but at some point will have have to worry about running out of aluminum
if the USN makes a good blockade

- 1946 would probably have been the japs making tsurugis, biplanes, and low grade wooden copies
of their fighters iirc
