The Council of Wyrms

[Ygorl]

Aw, come on... Where's the wyrmocratic spirit? Get thee hence to the voting booths!

[djo]

Having two heads, we like to hear both sides of an issue before passing judgement.

(Jack says: and we like to compare the size of the bribes from both sides...)

Looks like voting on this one would be closed late Sunday EDT, but so far doesn't look close to a quorum.

[RonD]

Yep, hoping to hear from Zona Nyl before weighing in.

What happens if the proposition fails? Will Ermor be rouge, or do you plan to work out a private compensation deal?

[Ygorl]

I don't know why Folket hasn't said anything... I was wavering between puting up the proposition and just contacting him in private; in the end, this seemed like the more interesting route, and so I took it. It doesn't seem to have worked out as planned, however... It's not interesting if nobody votes or discusses or anything! Ah well... Wyrms are a fickle bunch, eh?

Or maybe, perhaps, their motivating spirits are just busy for the weekend.

If it doesn't pass? I don't know. I hadn't really considered that part. I'd hate to drive someone rogue over a mis-reading of a proposition... I guess I'd first try the same deal, but just between me and Folket, without the public show and the bribes to y'all. Maybe that's what I should have done in the first place, but this way seemed more in the spirit of the game.

I'm still missing files from Abysia, C'tis, Ermor, and T'ien Ch'i. Given Panther's email problem, it's quite possible that they sent files that simply never reached him. Since that would mean a delay until Monday at least, anyway, I figure we'll just push the hosting until Tuesday.

Two other small things that'll be slightly different:
One, I often don't get home at night until well after five. The deadline will be 8 pm EDT, and I'll try to get the turns out right at that time. Two, it's considerably easier for me if you don't compress your .2h files in any way - just attach them as the raw .2h files. If we start to get a lot of corrupt .2h files as a result (I don't know if this is ever a problem? Anyone with more experience care to chime in?) I'll change this policy, but for now let's give it a shot (unless people tell me that it is a big problem... I doubt it, though, since I know I and many others have been sending .2h files without incident). Every file you send is validated by the game engine as soon as I receive it, and you'll get an email if there's a problem, so it's not the case that corruption will appear unnoticed until later.

Thanks, everyone!

When I hosted the original PBEM RAND game, it was extremely rare that .2h files would get corrupted, and it was a huge pain if files were sent as zips. "Raw" files are the best way to go.

[Ygorl]

Not only has there been no word in the Council from Zona Nyl, I don't have Ermor's turn from Folket. Is anyone in another game with him? Is he around?

Looks like the last words he posted in the forum here was a guess that the next COW turn would host on Tuesday... Maybe he just hasn't bothered checking anything since then?

[The Panther]

He staled last turn in Clash of Armies, I believe.

[Ygorl]

Bummer... I hope he gets back soon!

[The Panther]

As for the 2h files, the turns from Atlantis were frequently corrupted when I received them. However, when he started packing them into a zip, it worked every time.

I think it has something to do with Microsoft Explorer. Of course, I think EVERY computer problem has something to do with Microsoft.....
