cheeky duffer

you send on the save for all the right reasons right...

BigFree · June 10, 2004, 14:41

But why don't those that send the save POST that they SENT (OPD and E_T) the save? Is it that much trouble to let others know what's going on? Don't you want a good relationship here? Don't you know that communication is the secret to every good relationship?

Feel free to find someone else to play the save for Korea if you so desire. But please don't send me another pm with just a link to this thread in as I find it patronising.

BF,

I try to post in here as much as possible, but MY time is very limited.

I can understand, you letting us know if the save stops for SEVERAL days, but I also found it a bit disconcerting that you had done that.

OPD, please don't pay any attention to the man behind the curtain....

Just in case anyone thinks Bigfree is complaining for the sake of it, some numbers as of May 9th:

Quote:

Game#1: .95TurnsPerDay- all four players post turns regularly
Game#2: .24TPD- 3 players posting regularly, 1 semi-regularly
Game#3: .68TPD- 2 posting regularly, 1 occasionally
Game#4: .58TPD- 2 posting regularly, 1 occasionally
Game#5: .19TPD- 1 posting occasionally.

It isn't the only factor, but the pattern was consistant (except game 2 where GF effectively dropped out) in both tournaments when I checked.

Not that it really matters here, it doesn't look like this will see the second round. Not enough patronization, I say!

Paddy · June 11, 2004, 03:06

actually thought it was part of the tournament rules that we all agreed to that we were to post when we play, and the year that was forwarded to the next person.

ahh it is all good

I reckon we will get to a 2nd round.

Those who do not want to play can bow out, let their civs be torn down into rubble by one of the Tournament Administrators. There are ruins all over this planet from lost civilizations. I do not see why that should not happen in the Tournaments as well.

Apathy is as great a killa as a flight of Tomcats and a division of Mech Infantry attacking a Civ

Hey, do what you want. Characterise my PM as whatever you wish. It was my attempt at getting this game moving and getting the players to post they they sent the turn. If you have a problem with someone saying "hey, you got the save?" then get out of the PBEM business now.

Nothing was agreed to in this tournament except that turn posts are a good idea.

It's in the rules for the Iron Civer because of experiences with this one...

I didn't mean to imply that this game wouldn't finish, but #s 2 and 5 have stopped multiple times and haven't moved in weeks.

Paddy · June 11, 2004, 10:23

thanks for the rules clarification

stopped - that is a shame

OPD · June 11, 2004, 13:26

to paddy the scot

Do not mistake this situation for something that it is not, it should be noted that I didn't have to take over Korea when I did and I don't consider myself to be under any obligation to play the save when I recieve it.
Taking over a game which is already developed is never ideal especially a forbodding one such as this.

Even when I do not want to, I still play the save as soon as I can and I've played enough pbems, including 2 DG's, for you to be able to assume that the save will be played
