Rumors of Krill's takeover have been greatly exaggerated. But, uh, he certainly does have some advice. Lots of it. Non-stop. And he's very mocking if I lean away from it  .

Here's a little taste of what I've been dealing with:
Quote:me: I think <REDACTED>
Krill: ugh
Quote:Krill: lurkers fwiw, I think Darrell is being a bit of an idiot for <REDACTED>
Quote:Krill: Darrell, don't take this the wrong way, but...you kinda suck at <REDACTED>.
Still, how many dedicated "lurkers" would run endless MM permutations to save you 1F? As I observed:
Quote:me: I can relate to Bush. Having Dick Cheney as VP certainly comes with strings attached, but really, if there is an evil genius lying around best to put it to use.
Krill's reaction when he found out he gets to play Dick in our little drama?
Quote:Krill: Who do I get to shoot?
Darrell
P.S. In fact, I have TWO dedicated "lurkers" running endless MM scenarios for me :neenernee.

Novice / Spacemanmf : any chance you guys can not call the saves 'PBEM13' when sending them to me? It doesn't affect a whole lot for me personally, but i play the turns in my only timeslot (5.30pm - midnight GMT). If the turns get there earlier, TT will play them for me, but as he's in PBEM13 also, he doesn't want to open up the save just in case.
Cheers guys.

Ha, oops, my bad. Now changed.
We've been getting the turn late at night, so I've been playing it in the morning (6-8am GMT). The original plan is all messed up!

1 turn a day so far. However, you're right spaceman- somehow it's getting to you out of sync and therefore getting to me late. Thing is, apart from a rare exception, i can *only* play between 5.30pm to midnight. I tend to get the turns in my inbox first thing in the morning so we could be waiting on me a fair bit...

Just over a turn a day. We've played T15 and we started on the 6th. There was an initial burst of two turns a day, but it's been one a day mostly.

We'll only be waiting the once, I think, to get everything into sync. novice/space will always have the save in the morning if StM plays the save early in the evening because Darrell can play late at night as well as early in the morning. If StM starts playing it late at night his time, Darrell won't play it until lunch time for the euros, so we'll be back in sync.
Long story short, don't worry about leaving it for a few hours to play in the slot, so long as you make the slot, or earlier.

I don't think it really matters much. We'd still probably only manage 1 turn a day anyway. Everyone has held it for a fair chunk of hours so far, since people are sleeping or working (damn them!), but it's still ticking along nicely.
