if raleigh is out i can take spain [:)]
kimsandberg123@hotmail.com, also my messenger

[larizona55]

OK, I'll get it started then.

I did not hear from Raleigh or Cbpream so here are the countries in order.

France - larizona55 Larry (larizona55@yahoo.com)
Britain - Krec (kevyrec@sbcglobal.net)
Sweden - jstransue ( jstran93@yahoo.com)
Prussia - Cyrano Jim (thegasconaty@yahoo.com) I think thats it.
Austiria - Basilhare Faron (faronbell@cox.net)
Russia -hoplosternum hoplosternum@hotmail.com
Turkey - AI
Spain - kimsand (kimsandberg123@hotmail.com)

I am sending off turn one this morning to Krec. Five years, starting in 1805. Default winner.

I have not played this game PBEM yet, but it looks like Krec sends it to jstransue and then on down this order list.

If for some reason you need to drop out of the game, once we get going, please be kind and send me your password so I can find another player.

Please include my email (larizona55@yahoo.com) as a cc when you send your turns on. That way I can keep track of pacing.

OK all, good luck good hunting, and reamember we are all new to this game...

"Liberté, Egalité, Fraternity"

I started the game and sent it on like I was supposed to.
Did I get overtaken by events? (Sob)

I had
Faron on Austria
Krec on Brit
Ralegh on France
Cyrano on Prussia
Cbpraem on Ottomans
larizona55 on Russia
Jstransue on Sweden
Hoplosternum on Spain

[larizona55]

Just under the wire raleigh.......[:)] I sent a move off to Krec already, but ill tell him to ignore...

I did not hear from Cbpraem for Turkey, so would kimsand like to take it?

OK back to Russia for me...

It does not look like there is a password. Is this right? If so, it makes it easier for us to replace someone if they fall out of the game.

Who knows [&:] I shall see whether the turn appears with me as Spain or Russia and be happy to play either [:)]

I think we should stick to the original set up. People cannot be expected to look at the thread everyday over the length of the game. But I shall see what I get!

[Ralegh]

each player can (and should) set their own password in the set policy screen. Otherwise, someone could open a save file as them and see everything!

[Ralegh]

Hmmm - we should recruit someone who wont ever take a place in the game to be the holder of the passwords... A vault.

[Kimse123]

Turkey is fine with me[:)]

I had this idea, of a page on a website were each country had 3 radiobuttons, one for vacant one for recieved turn and one for send turn to the next on the list. that way we will always be able to see where the turn is. Each country should be accompanied by the respective mailadress ofcourse. Then you had to go update the site when you send or recieve a turn. maybe it could be made in flash so the buttons automatically reset to vacant when the next person on the list marked his turn as recieved.

In office environments this is called milestones in tracking the progress of a case.

Just a thought

[Kimse123]

Another thought. What if the game crashes when you are about to do your turn??

P.S. Nice Guides by the way Raleigh very helpfull

[jstransue]

Sounds good! Look forward to playing with you all. The Mighty Swedes shall be victorious!

Hi,

I'm not running the game so it was just a suggestion on which set of players we should go with not a demand [X(][;)] If there is no Turkey I cannot see why you can't play.

Larry seems to have gone with the original set up anyway in which there already was a Turkey. But we will see [:)] I am sure there are going to be a lot of games starting to see how it goes. In a game like this (and EiA) due to the diplomacy aspects these are always going to be better the more human players you have.

[Krec]

ok, so where are we in this affair? waiting patiently Krec[:D]

[larizona55]

Krec, you should have a file from Raleigh, by your post, I guess you don't.
If not, I am tired of waiting, you can use the file I sent you this morning.


Hoplosternum, you can play Turkey.

[Basilhare]

Austria, standing by!

faron.

[larizona55]

Krec, Raleigh sent you his file...it's your turn...

[Krec]

try again,

my email kevyrec@sbcglobal.net

[Krec]

please send turn...................

[Kimse123]

I'm not exactly sure what is happening. Am i in or not as Turkey. If so we need some kind of Absolute list of who is in, with email, and which order we have so we can send the turn to the next on the list, otherwise it will not be possible to keep the pace of the game. [;)]

I can make a series of filters on a gmail adress i have. It means that everybody can send to the same adress

coggamemail1@gmail.com,

and if you have an attachment and the word 2ndwar written in your Subject field, your turn is, based on the above criterias and your emailadress, automatically forwarded to the next on the list, the filters can be altered during the game if another person is taking over, i just need the persons email adress. Then it is also always possible for others to see where the turn is.

Do you think people can administer a joint emailadress. Maybe it is only for an elect 2 or 3 players in the game so if somebody goes on holiday another can check the turn progress.

[Basilhare]

Just FYI, I have a overnight work trip out of town on Wednesday.....I will be back Thursday and will check my e-mail and do my first turn by the afternoon (Central Time)....sorry...Faron (Austria).
