Armada 2526 PBEM game 1.4

[Melodic Death]

There is a thread in the Multiplayer Lounge, but just posting this here to try and get more players, then you can delete this.

Currently we have 3 players lined up, and hoping for at least 5+. Ideally, I would like to start this by next week, or as soon as we get enough players.

The game will take weeks to months to play, depending on the settings and how quicky ppl take their turns, so I ask you to make sure you're ok with the commitment. I also would like everyone to be able to check in at least once a day if possible. Obviously there will be times where you can't, so just make sure you let us know.

Settings are TBD. Main goal is for everyone to have fun. Let me know if you are interested.

Let me know if everyone can see the game pop up in the Multiplayer screen, and are able to load the game. I have a player who can't get the game to show up. We are trying to troubleshoot, so we will probably have to do a new game, so don't get too excited, or disappointed with your starting spot, lol.

FYI, I deleted the current game so disregard that email. It appears we have fixed the issue with the person who was having the problem. I'll start up another game and name it Explorminate 2.0. Please let me know if anyone has any issues with getting into the game.

[Melodic Death]

OK. the 2nd game is good to go. so you all should be able to take your turn. Let me know if anyone has issues. Goodl luck to all.

I opened new gmail without 2 step security, then it cleared loading the game. otherwise was reporting no new mail (app specific log in password, before that, it was reporting wrong log in credentials).

like the game so far. Please dont destroy me out of the blue hahahaha.

turn sent in.

Okay

run into an issue.. I should have checked before hand but I can not seam to log into Gmail.. I have tried a few accounts but I get an error saying it can not connect... I think maybe this could be as now you need to "authorise" apps to acess gmail... but I do not know how to fix it...

[Tragic]

Ok I finally got it working.. not 100% sure what the problem was... but I disabled my VPN (arrgghh! so exposed!!) and that didn't work, tried setting up new accounts, tried setting more simple passwords with just numbers and letters and short (it is only a trash mail anyway), set my account to "allow unsecured apps" and finally after still not working went ot toerh systems on the network and shut down steam.

Now it is working.. and not sure what was the actual fix..

point is Im about to do my turn now!

Turn 1 - COMPLETE

NOTE : Remeber to check your mail as soon as you stop.. sometimes the round robin emil thing is only waiting on your for your turn.. so it is a good idea to always check as soon as you are bootedback ot the mail window to see if you have another turn already waiting.

Ok, I'm going to have to make a new game again. I loaded the game on accident and I think it made it so everyone is on turn 2 now, and we have ppl that didnt take their turn. I will delete this game, and make another.

@Tragic You hosted the game last time, so I have a question. Do you remember how you got to see who was left to take their turn? When I click on the Host games I see the game I made, and when I click on it, it shows all the players who need to make their turn. However it kept showing me everyone needed to take their turn, and I know at least 3 people who took their turn already. I could just look at my gmail and make sure I get emails from everyone before I do the next turn, but not prefered. How did you see who needed to take their turn?

Hi Big Perm, I see exactly what you described (exactly 0 of my orders were picked up for turn 2, even though I did send some in earlier when I noticed the game was up).

New game is fine with me. My starting position was... umm.... terrible. Would have been an interesting, but possibly short, game for me. :)

I'll be on the lookout for game #3.

[Melodic Death]

I set up a game 3, so everyone should be able to take their 1st turn...again. Sorry, I told you there would be growing pains. :D

yeah I can not remember off the top of my head... The host can force a new turn this is to skup drop outs... but I forget how the host gets notifed...

Start a new game and only add me and call it testing or something.. I'll do a fast turn and then you should see what it looks like...
