I agree with having Master Zen set up the passwords and skipping the first turn. Master Zen, please give me no password. I trust the others.

I think having a password doesn't hurt even if you trust the others. Sometimes it happens, that one sends the wrong save, and it's opened by accident, without seeing the mistake earlier.

Agreed I had that happen before. I thought I had accidently opened a SP game and wondered when the heck I had played it until I figured out they had sent me the save sent to them and not the one from the end of their turn.

edit - actually based on what GF has said I think I will have a p/w after all.

marcuspeddle · September 24, 2003, 10:42

Okay, now I see the sense in a password. Just make it 'Anatolia'. No one will type that by mistake.

I didn't do it intentionally, they had renamed it to something like "PbemtoGhengis" so I had no idea it was the wrong save.

This is why I always argue against people renaming the save files. I can tell if its the wrong save before I download it if the saves aren't renamed.

Master Zen · September 24, 2003, 13:47

I'm done!

Ok, here's what I did:

- I made the game start at 4050 BC so that skipped turn won't be noticeable.

- Everyone's password was set as "play". The administrator password is "admin". So, once you get the save, write in the admin password and it will prompt you for another password, the one you want to use from now on.

- 2 settler teams were given for the start.

Game has now been sent to Anatolia by e-mail. I'd just like to say it was really fun making the scenario (I hope I didn't goof at anything but I did playtest almost everything first) and wish everyone of you the best of luck

Ciao

216 posts before the game has even started................

Master Zen just keeps burying that "this is my last post" statement.................

May be we should start a new turn thread?

Nah, we can use this until it gets to the obligatory 500 posts then start a Part II thread. Many thanks to MZ for setting this up!

Goodluck to you all. May this be fun and enjoyable for everyone.

At the rate we're going your proposal and Sir Ralph's proposal may end up being the same thing.

Donegeal · September 24, 2003, 18:27

MUWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Still only one objection to the "Donegeal kills everyone" rule! It passes by a 7 to one margin!

YEAH!!!!!

Psst.... Anatolia, play the turn! I wanna see what my 50 bucks bought me...

Oh, you do have my e-mail, right?

Did that refer to in game? I didn't realize that, in that case I object.

Donegeal · September 24, 2003, 19:00

Too late... game's started.

GhengisFarb™ · September 24, 2003, 19:12

No it hasn't 223 posts without the first save being passed and counting............

Well, well. There it is. "Game has been sent..."

Donegeal · September 24, 2003, 22:27

Hey, SR....

I just noticed that I don't have your e-mail address. Care to PM me it?

Harovan · September 25, 2003, 01:51

marcuspeddle · September 25, 2003, 02:07

I got the turn and played it but I don't seem to have Donegeal's e-mail address here at work. I'll send the turn as soon as he gives me the address.

My starting position is very nice (thank you MZ!) and there seem to be good places for other cities nearby. I was a bit confused at first when I loaded the game and the End Turn button was flashing. Then I realised that all my units were fortified

Good Luck!

Harovan · September 25, 2003, 04:05

I hope we get that thing running until Conquests. If not, I vote for restarting. It will make a big difference.

GhengisFarb™ · September 25, 2003, 07:13

So is this the final playing order:
Anatolia
Don (when did the mob get involved?)
SR (Senior who?)
OPD
GF (GirlFriend?)
Beta
BF (Not touching this one.)
NYE (NewYorkExchange?)

I take it I send it to Bruce.

BigFree · September 25, 2003, 16:05

Anatolia: PM donegeal to get his email.
Unless the post above is GF saying he sent it to Beta already.

Nope, I haven't got it yet, but I did email Anatolia donegeal's email address.

Donegeal · September 25, 2003, 18:32

Yeah, sorry about that guys. When I got up this morning the first thing I did was check this thread. Anatolia said he needed my e-mail at his work place so I PMed it to him. The very next thing I did was check the GoW forum, but it said the server was too busy. By the time I was able to get through again, I had to leave for work. I never even got a chance to see if he got my PM. Currently, I DO NOT have the save. I suspect, do to the time zones, that I will get it tonight. I will play it as soon as I get it (unless Survivor is on

) and pass it on. Yes, I will even get up in the middle of the night to play it if I have to.

Once again, sorry about this guys. I said it might be slow going this week 'cause of my FTO class. I'll be all back to normal next week.
