Players wanted for PBW PvK Proportions Game #1 - Page 7

AMF · #61 September 16th, 2004, 04:23 PM

Well, it appears that all three proportions games are now overdue. Perhaps the "reminder email" mssg function could be cranked up to send "nag" emails to the Last 4-5 players who haven't yet turned in orders? Just asking. This tactic worked pretty well for a few games I ran that had slowed down...

Thanks,

Alarik

The policy I adopted in game #1 can be applied to the others. 48 hour turns, but when late, I remind the late people and they have another 48 hours to let me know if they need more time, or I run the turn without them. In theory this can devolve to 96+ hour turns, but it has worked pretty well in game #1 as long as I am around to do the nagging.

The automated nag message is on, I think for the Last 3 players, but it's usually only 1-3 players that are late, so I don't think this needs to be turned up.

The problem is that I'm not in game #3, and PBW doesn't let me know there is a problem about that one. Maybe you could volunteer to be the nagger who lets people know they have 48 hours to ask for more time. You could CC me on the Messages and remind me if/when I need to run the turn without them.

Now THAT would be a thankless job. I really hate to sound like a nag, honestly, I just was jonesing for a turn or two...

Any chance we could get orders in for Proportions I and III games?

Just call me a stinker for pestering...

Thanks,

Hi, just found this thread, a bit late as I've been in Proportions #1 and #3 for a month or so. Though sometimes it seems longer, given the pace of game #3. I think I have a strategy, but it is hard to remember....

Hello.

Hello Narf. Game #3 was lagging due to the admin (me) not being in the game, and being way too busy to notice one of the players is apparently AWOL. It just lost another player, so will be paused until new players fill the missing two spots. I'll post a new thread asking for players for game #3.

I was saying hello to expinger. Why? Cause he was there.

Most courteous of you.
