I see Iron Warrior in here all of the time.  But I think it would suck to have him take France's place.

  In case France disappears.  Iron Warrior sounds pretty formidable!

Still without France files ...

[font=calibri]HiHi[/font]

[font=calibri]Maybe for Multi-player games we should introduce a ‘48hr Rule’ or somesuch, whereby if files aren’t returned in a specified time frame then the turn goes ahead without you, thats what used to happen at ‘Medieval Diplomacy’.[/font]

[font=calibri]?? could that be done ??[/font]

[font=calibri]Obviously there would be times when folk were away for the
weekend/business trip or somesuch, in those cases then notification to the MB could mean other players would know the game was gonna be delayed; failure to notify means the game will go ahead without you, a bit harsh maybe, but it would mean the core of folk who do return promptly aren’t pissed about by someone elses Bad manners.[/font]

[font=calibri]Thoughts?[/font]

[font=calibri]All the Best[/font]

Kingmaker,

Decent idea. But I don't know how it could be done without handing over the country to another human.

How does this work with the password and all if we lose a player?

Can we just take over his country, find another player, and hand off his password?

Just curious. Because when I took over Sweden, it didn't even ask me for a password, it just said, "default". How is that? Can we all just look at each other's files?

And like I said, there will be a 3 day span in which I can't do any turns coming up. I will leave for a short trip on the 19th and be back on the 22nd to send in my turn.

I really went up on the learning curve after a ridiculous 24 hour session with the game last night and today. Geesh! I need some sleep now. But I haven't had this much fun in ages. Amazing game at time. Sure there are some minor things I would personally change, and one or two minor bugs. But it has been a blast.

HiHi

Re password, right click on a province, click on PBEM settings, bottom lefthand corner 'Password' there you can set yours.

Yes I remembered you would be away, but that in my mind costitutes Notification to the board, so we hang on till you return. Summer Hols are gonna be a Nightmare!

Can we just take over his country, find another player, and hand off his password? Seems from Gil Rs responce on the PBEM Multi-player thread that may be possible ... but not by Me!!!

All the Best
Peter

I think, we should wait until today evening ... than I can just open it and press end turn button.

Up to now he as been pretty good to have his turn done during the weekend. Let's give him a chance like Matto said.

Kingmaker · Post by **Kingmaker** » Mon Mar 16, 2009 10:14 am

HiHi

Seems reasonable and the guy did set it all up for us.

But maybe after this turn we impliment a 48hr rule, whereby unless notification is made to the this MB of valid reason for dely such as Death/work/Hols etc then Motto is authorized to open the file, end the absenties turn and thereby keep the game flowing

Thoughts?

All the Best
Peter

Except weekends ? I can imagine, that some people are leaving town for all weekend ... 

barbarossa2 · Post by **barbarossa2** » Mon Mar 16, 2009 1:26 pm

Iron Warrior sounded like he might be interested.  We should give him a buzz.
 
I am just curious, has anyone heard from Prussia in the last few days?

timurlain · Post by **timurlain** » Mon Mar 16, 2009 1:31 pm

Hello, Prussia is here. Bit overwhelmed with RL, but definitively in the Game. My turn is in. No waiting for me there

I will respond to all diplomacy enquiries in short time.

Matto · Post by **Matto** » Mon Mar 16, 2009 4:10 pm

Sirs, I would prefere keep diplomatic actions in game ... so use treaties etc. But sure, it is up to you all ...

Matto · Post by **Matto** » Mon Mar 16, 2009 6:51 pm

Still no news from Mad66 playing France ... so I will reset his password, open it and press End Turn

barbarossa2 · Post by **barbarossa2** » Mon Mar 16, 2009 6:59 pm

How about contacting Iron Warrior for the France position?

Just curious on this 1000 Glory Victory thing.

Is this a limit everyone wants to play? I would be up for playing longer perhaps.

I played a game last night, and it took Britain and me (France) six years to get to 760 or so.

How long has it taken other players to get to 1000 Glory? What is the fastest you got there?

Mus · Post by **Mus** » Mon Mar 16, 2009 9:18 pm

Agreed on getting a replacement.  Ironwarrior expressed an interest.

Matto · Post by **Matto** » Tue Mar 17, 2009 6:23 am

Need IronWarrior's email adress ...

Franck · Post by **Franck** » Tue Mar 17, 2009 5:02 pm

I usually get to 1000 glory faster than 6 years... And that's playing Prussia or Austria... 1000 Glory is pretty quick. I was for a longer game but I believe many wanted to try a short game to get a hang of this.

As I said I do not think there is an option to keep going after the 1000 points in PBEM.

lenin · Post by **lenin** » Tue Mar 17, 2009 5:13 pm

British turn 3 in.

Franck · Post by **Franck** » Tue Mar 17, 2009 5:46 pm

Mine will be done at 1700 eastern time (got to work on school's stuff until then)
