if shovah has not checked in with the council then I suggest we continue with business on schedule despite his absence

we where supposed to host yesterday, right?

For the first turn, I always cut people some slack. But once the game gets underway, I am more brutal about forcing stales for non-responders.

I know that I had originally planned on hosting MWF evenings. However, I already realize the problems in doing that. When I go out of town on weekends, I usually leave on Friday. In fact, I am leaving tomorrow to go visit my daughter at the University of Oklahoma and therefore can't host the game Friday evening. I will be back Sunday and can host Sunday evening.

I also notice that djo put a suggestion on the COW site about hosting TTS instead of MWF. This seems like the right answer to me. Therefore, the hosting will be Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday eveings about 8-9 PM Mountain time.

The next turn will host this evening whether or not I get the turn file from shovah.

To all wyrms: Proposition 2 is open for voting over the next 24 hours.

i cant get the maofile to work

Read the previous posts in this thread to see how to do that. Basically, you download the attached file from this thread, rename it properly, and put it in the dominions/mod directory. I can't send it to you right now because I am at work on my lunch break.

For the sake of simplicity, I'll just attach the correct mod file here. Right-click on the word "attachment" and choose Save As, or Save to disk, or whatever similar option your browser offers. Save it in the mods folder with the name *exactly* conceptbalance_complete_5_1.dm (you will have to remove the ".txt" from the end of the file - the forum won't accept an attachment that ends in .dm)

This is an email game, so there is no number to connect to.

Find your email from Panther with turn 1. Make a directory with any name you like for the game (I used CoW). Extract the files in Panther's email into that directory.

Start dom2 and play your turn. The game name will be whatever you named your directory.

Reply to Panther's email. Attach the mictlan.2h file from your game directory.

Your houseguests I cannot help with...

and the map...

It's Orania. It comes with the game. We're using a different .map file, but that doesn't matter except for the server.

A server game would be ideal but it's only 3 times a week that you need to do any mailing.
