PBEM7: Email and Technical Issues

[scooter]

First turn played, save passed on to SleepingMoogle, and we are a go! By the way - I'm destroying you all in demographics right now.

Are we going to use PBEM Tracker?

Are we going to use PBEM Tracker?

I think so, but we need to play a round to set up the names of our leaders first to avoid the tracker from getting confused. Krill set up our forum handles as defaults, but perhaps someone will want to change that?

Turn played and save sent to your email address TT. Scooter will be happy to know he's outclassed in demographics already.

I'll set up the PBEM tracker after a turn or two - just to give you guys a chance to change your names if you want to.

turn passed on to serdoa

[Serdoa]

Turn received - though I have to do some work first now (otherwise my wife kills me) and will probably not be able to play before 1pm GMT (so roughly in 5 hours).

Btw: Am I allowed to load the save to look at it, close the game and load it up later again to play it? I am asking because I will probably often be able to look at it in the morning before I go to work but not able to play it before the afternoon when I come home.

[Serdoa]

Well, apparently it seems my wife does love me, so I could play the turn and have it already sent to Dazed and Sareln.

[Sareln]

Played and outbound to scooter. This is not my typical time.

[SleepingMoogle]

Thanks for the help Sareln! The time shouldn't matter too much during the weekend, and we'll probably fall into regular timeslots during the weekdays anyhow.

Okay I created the game on PBEM Tracker, click this link and join it:

http://pbemtracker.com/game.php?gameID=76

Edit: Password is "rb"

I need to have you all join and then I change the settings so it should work. The reason it's called "Slight Return" and not RB PBEM7 or whatever is because that's what Krill named it when he created it, and it has to match. Just thought I'd answer that question in advance . Here's how the tracker will work once the game gets going:

1. When it's your turn, the tracker will email the save to you.
2. Open the save and play the turn like usual.
3. Open up the game's page, and click the "Upload Turn" button that will be under your leader head.
4. Upload the save, and it will automatically be sent to the next player, and the game's page will now reflect who is now up.

It's pretty simple. Just a note - if you ever want to change your in-game name once the game has started, please tell me so I can update it on the tracker as well, or else it won't work. It's very picky about having everything exact.
