MP: I Need More Power! - yet another MA newbie game - Finished (Ulm won by agreement)

[jimbojones1971]

I'll put up a post for a sub. If no-one responds, I suspect it will then be AI time.

[jimbojones1971]

Not a lot of interest in the sub so far, the thread can be found here:

Pan Sub Wanted

Pan has now staled three times in a row, with no indication that he has any interest in ever returning to the game. If we need to extend the turn again this time, and a sub has not come forward, I think we should turn him AI.

[Valerius]

I'm not a newbie but if you'd like I can temp sub in order to give you more time to find a permanent replacement.

At this stage, I think we would gratefully accept any sub (others feel free to correct me if you have a different view).

Pan is in a fairly average position, so your extra experience would likely be useful in equalising their situation.

Thanks for volunteering :-) If no-one objects, we can organise to get the turn forwarded on to you and give you a suitable extension so that you can work out what is going on.

No Objection here, it appears that the Peoples Republic will have to take into account a more active Northern Neighbour.

[Lung Drago]

No objections here either, Pangaea has some catching up to do. Valerius, PM me or/and jimbojones your email then.

I wonder whether Heinrich will raise from the dead and go here all raging what happened once we'll change the email

[Valerius]

Ok, I'll send over my email address. I've been enjoying reading some of the previous posts in this thread.

It appears Pangaea could take an example from their neighbors to the south and spend a little less time spent partying and a little more time in the lab.

Please let me know if anyone has diplomatic agreements with Pan.

[Valerius]

Also, my assumption is that even if I'm just a temp sub I should play Pan as I would if I were permanently taking on the role (and obviously trying to win the game).

If I'm just supposed to submit maintenance turns so that Pan is actually doing some researching/site searching but otherwise play passively please let me know.

[Valerius]

Well, it appears the previous player password protected his pretender. Not sure if we can get around that.

Oh, God. I have no idea if I set a master password, but I deem it unlikely. Furthermore, I don't see option for defining it in the admin options.
It would require me to send the turn to myself so I would see exactly how Pangaea does and I deem that unfair, which is precisely why wouldn't I create a master password at all.

I am going to try anyways though. Pray now, whatever gods you worship!

EDIT: Nope, no master password. Oh my, who would think of passwording their pretender in PBEM. This is a bad situation. Unless Heinrich raises from the dead, there's not much that can be done. The password should be stored somewhere in the pretender file, but that is stored on llamserver and not being sent anywhere so only llama can get it.
However, llamserver sends a notice your email is no longer used for sending turns. That could be the raise dead ritual spell we need, since Heinrich should have that notice in mailbox right now and he did send a turn here and there, so he should be aware something is happening. Unless he smashed his screen in addition to his keyboard. Let us sit tight or dance around the fire in an atttempt to summon Heinrich the Silent.
