Does the game have an admin password? If it does then it will cause problems for mac to window passes.

Ah, I did set the admin password. I think I will re-send the save without it for both groups.

[Lewwyn]

Thanks that would have caused it to crash for me too.

Is the save name the same for both games? or did you add a pro or app to them like "rbpbem18pro" or are they both "rbpbem18"? If they're the same I can set the trackers once I see the save and then I'll send it to mist for hosting. Then we should have the tracker up shortly thereafter.

And btw folks, the email forwarding accounts are all set up, so even though the tracker is not up, the email system is.

If you're in the Pro game send the save to rbpbem18pro@gmail.com

If you're in the App game send the save to rbpbem18app@gmail.com

Once you send it will forward to the correct person(as long as you send the attachment ).

[SevenSpirits]

The save names are the same. I think this is the "Game name" I entered, which is "pbem18".

OK, received the 2nd starting save & replayed exactly as I did the 1st one ... my save was called "Augustus Caesar BC-4000-2.CivBeyondSwordSave" but the "-2" was dropped when the game made the save to pass on, I assume this is correct? Hence pbem18_BC-4000_to_Lincoln.CivBeyondSwordSave sent to rbpbem18app@gmail.com

You probably got the -2 because I think thats what Macs add to the end of duplicate filenames.

ahh ... of course like my pc insists on attaching "(1)" should've thought of that

anyway, hopefully we're good after the false-start

by the way, where is the tracker? is it ready yet?

[Lewwyn]

I've sent the tracker.php's to Mist. The Emails are working and the tracker will be up when Mist puts it up, I assume he'll either email me or place the link in here when it is up.

So yeah, everything is looking good.

Hey all, I played the first turn and passed on the save so Lewwyn should be good to go.

Also going to pm SevenSpirits with the password (which everyone should do in case someone drops out).

Turn played and passed onto Mackoti. Let me know if it works.

[Lewwyn]

I have also played and sent the save along; let me know if it reaches you Mackoti. (I have faith I set it up right but since this is the first go around, always good to keep tabs.)
