I'll send him a mail when I have more time. If he's not around, I guess we could set up another tracker. Is it described somewhere how to do that? mistbinder.org or mistbinder.org/tracker don't make me any wiser. Is that mistbinder site related to Mist, who played the Hive in PF1 but has disappeared now too?

Yes, Mist is the one who wrote the commonly used tracker program in the first place. Various people have various versions of his program, but since most people don't have a website of their own, Mist was usually graciously hosting the file too.

It's really two pieces, a gmail box that does the forwarding, and a php script that interrogates the mailbox in some fashion to find the most recent save it's received.

Edit: I have an older version of Mist's tracker program (which worked fine, was just less general). If you want, I can forward it to you. I'm not going to spend any time getting our tracker updated, though, at least not yet.

How come the turn is ending up in Iskender's mailbox by the way? Shouldn't the automatic redirect of gmail send it to Sian's inbox?

If Iskender sends to tracker, it will go to Sian. He's just been sending it directly to me, though. From Sareln, it ends up in Iskender's hands because that's what saves from Sareln always have done.

How's the house-move going?

Will there be a turn anytime soon?

Ikea's fun at first. I imagine it'd be less so by cabinet 4...

Just assumed on my end that you wouldn't want to spend more time on the game after you were gone. If you can, that'd be great

[Sian]

well ... I'm the 'host' setting up a number of games (creating the tracker and running the mail) that i'm not in allready so i'd be a jerk if i denied editing the one i allready have ... but it demands that i'm made aware of it

Thanks Sian, and good game.

Does that mean the tracker is working now and Iskender is still having Internet issues?

[Sian]

Tracker should work, and looking manually in the mail, its sitting at Iskender yes

[Sareln]

@ Iskender, everything alright?

[Iskender]

I'm still struggling with the house move, there are things like floors and painting yet to be done. I'll return to my standard pace next week, sorry for all delays so far.
