Hey Sophanthro,

Did you get an indication from all players concerning the times that they will be doing their turns, and if you did, can you post it here? It will help us to plan when to check our emails and also when we need to get the files to the next player, so as to not screw up his schedule.

M-W-F
I'll be playing at 7-10PM U.S. CST - if possible, get me the files by 3PM U.S. CST so I can download it from work. (its a whole lot quicker for me there)

T-Th
I can play at 9-10PM U.S. CST - if possible, get me the files by 3PM U.S. CST so I can download it from work. (its a whole lot quicker for me there)

Weekends
Sat Afternoon - Early evening
Sun Afternoon

Obviously, schedules will change...

Hey Hexagonian
I never Tied down specific times for anyone
Fire Red Ram is the person in front of you and Sophix(me) after you.

And since every one said sometime during the evening this is only a rough estimate
and no one is tied to keep it, but the game will move faster if we do

The only Rule is take your turn within 24 hours of it being sent or post an reason for why you cant on the forum.

Only apply this schedule if you think it will help play

This is assuming one turn a day per player.
Times done according to time zone, and is a weekday schedule
Sophix 11pm-12am EST (GMT 4am-5am)
Shavlor 12am-2 am EST (GMT 5am-7am)
Jon 7pm - 9pm GMT (EST 2pm - 4pm)
Demosthenes 9pm - 11pm GMT (EST 4pm - 6pm)
Fire Red Ram 7pm - 9pm EST
Hexagonian 8pm - 10pm CST

For the Weekend I guess just play your turns earlier.

Sophanthro

Took My Turn
Turn 1 ===> Shavlor

Assyria greets the Roman people and will soon send diplomats to Rome to negotiate terms, which will allow the Romans and the Great Civilization of the Assyrians to live side by side in peace and harmony.

The first Assyrian to lay eyes on a Roman was Sencharif watchmen on the ARS Sophocracy. He reports that the Romans are odd looking people with blood red noses. "The first time time I saw one I could hardly help myself from laughing" Relplies Sencharif.

Nineveh is discovered to be the center of the Universe, it has long been suspected by has now been proved through certain measurements, the chief wisemen was quoted as saying, details of the proof have not been published; but is believed that its central principle rests on the fact that the world is indeed flat.

Mighty Australians, we the humble Welsh wish you well in your winemaking pursuits. Indeed, should you produce a fine chardonnay, then we may well be interested in purchasing some from you. Not for the celebrations of our inevitable glory, but to aid us in our quest.

Greetings All,
While waiting for my trusted couriers to bring to me the daily business of ruling my mighty empire, I thought I would relate to you, the other rulers of this world, what I discovered in my palace today. I found an ancient scroll that told me of a peculiar legend...

''A legend that spoke of a mighty ruler that will arise from the Mayan people. A ruler, wise, resourceful, enigmatic... The hearts of all the common people of the world - the workers, laborers, scientists, traders and merchants - will be with him, though they serve other kings and kingdoms. Though the other rulers will seek to tear him down, ultimately this Mayan ruler will prevail - through fire and sword, if need be. His rule will bring peace to a fractured world.''

''Interesting'', I thought... Don't know if it was meant for me.

By the way, greetings Demosthenes, Ruler of the Welsh.

To attach an AI if the player is absent for no apparent reason within 24 hours.

This is command in chat window (to get there press the ' key) tyoe /attach number of player.
i.e. /attach 1

this will attach an AI to me Sophix

To unattach type /dettach #.

Methinks FireRedRam got the dreaded 'plains setup with no production tiles' for his first turn.

If so, should I go into F.R.R.'s 'turn' to use the chat menu, attach the AI, and then end turn?

Not sure, since I'm new at this too...

If you go into FRR turn, I think you would see his setup and location - obviously good for you - not for the rest of us .

What you probably have to do is redo your last turn the same way you have already done it (which is a hassle, I know), and attach the AI there - at least that is my assumption.

A couple of suggestions before proceeding:

Contact Sophix by email for any input, if this is the correct way to handle attatching the AI .

Then contact FRR by email - if there is no response by Sunday 10:00 PM EST (3 1/2 days after last turn was sent), then go ahead and attach AI.

I don't mind getting online to check for turns, but I do not want to have to do it constantly. I don't even mind if someone wants to back out of the game - if someone want to quit, say so and move on. It's no big deal to me - I wouldn't flame/trash anyone if they were honest with not wanting to play. But please, let us know, so the game can continue. Hey, if anyone was getting severely beaten up with absolutely no chance of getting back into the game, then you might as well attach an AI to your player, and get on with your life.

It probably will help for all of us to get on a regular schedule for turns (particular days and times), so we can know when to look for it. Sophix had a schedule, which looked good for daily turns.

The following should be on the schedule too:
- Days playing
- Time playing
- The file should arrive at the next player's computer an hour before playing time.

Even if we can knock out a turn every other day, that would be pretty good.

(sorry for the ranting)...Sophix, are you out there?

Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

Hi Guys

I don't mean to butt into your thread here. I'm a player in a few other pbem games and I was just curious to see how your game was going.I noticed that you were having a bit of trouble.

Demos:

Hopefully you still have a copy of the game jon sent you, if not, jon will have to resend.
Open up your turn and hit the " key and then type in " /attach 5 " in the chat box. then hit enter, then " to get rid of the chat box. According to your list FRR is player no 5 and yes you have to do this during your turn. The previous player always attach's the ai. If you have done this right you will see Hex's email address on the saved game instead of FRR's. It's best to do this procedure as soon as you open your turn, so you don't forget. (Which I have)

Well I hope this helps

Turn 2 to Demosthonese.

Whilst we are pleased that the Welsh tribe have shown no desire to lay hands upon our grapes we must decline the offer of their women whom we have been told are endowed with beards and given to unnatural practices in the bedchamber. We also hear of bizarre rituals indulged in by their menfolk involving the use of sheep and rubber footwear!

Hey Guys,
I've got my harddrive backup and reloaded CTP. Sorry about this weekend. I still need the quick start files if someone can send them to me. I should be ready by my next turn. It is also difficult for me to post here on weekends. But I can still play my turns. Thanks for the help.

Glad to hear it. I think you can go to the folder where we initally were discussing starting this game 'Starting Semi Accelerated PBEM Game' and download it from one of Sophix's posts.

Greetings from the Mayans.
