 I still haven't heard from Donjon. I beleive that he is working in Belize - He's in IT & he has probably experienced problems (I know how that can go - I once worked an uninterrupted 92 hour shift when a payroll crashed causing 2,000 blokes to go on strike).

OTOH I am feeling a bit frustrated. I wonder if anyone else can do the setup? Any volunteers? I've prepared a Zip containing everything required including some instructions.

We now have a full player list:
Cleitos [Mark]
Ptolemy [AlexThe Great]
Craterus [ADG_Wraith]
Pyrrhus [Steve]
Alexander V [vmanuel]
Olympias [Crappicus]
Seleucos [Jagophile]
Antigonos [ForceUser]
Phillip III [Staz]
Roxana [hiunmaiden]
Eumenes [Tomasoid]
Antipater II [Lefnufrag]
Lysimachos [JasonC]
Leonnatus [Joseph]
Alcetas [Marduk]
Perdiccas [Poodle]

 AlexTheGreat/donjon,

Do you think there is a good chance that the game will start on the 14th or most likely several days after?

Im just asking cus Im out of town cant say certain date between 20th and 25th ish for a week and I think someone else who is playing is away from the 18th so is it likely to start before then?

(so we can Q orders for the missed turns).

AlexTheGreat/donjon,

donjon thinks it will be ready on Monday

so you all MIGHT be able to get your first turns....

but then, i'm sure that AlexTheGreat wants it to be hosted at Autohost, so he has to send the files to Ron....

Ron averages between 2-10 days (depending on his work schedule) to get the game up LIVE at Autohost, so you can send in your first turn.

The host usually waits til all turns are in before generating 2401...

Hope this helps!!!

I would indeed want to host it on Autohost. That all sounds like I will be able to send the files to Ron on Aug 14 but that actual game startup will a few/several days later.

Let's see exactly when that eventuates. Comments are welcome.

 of course, you can send everyone their M and XY files and tell them to hold their turn til Ron sends them their unique password to Autohost...

its kind of a teaser Wink

Cool, I think thats an excellent idea Ashlyn/AlexTheGreat. That would certainly wet my appetite for the game to be able to see my homworld location, mineral quantity and the rest of the universe Smile

 I usually send out xy and m files to the players when I gen the game but instruct them to hold their moves until it goes up on autohost Smile

Anyway,
we cannot proceed yet:
I have a couple of problems:
one race has not submitted a password:
Leonnatus

and two sent mismatched passwords:
Antipater II
Olympias

Hopefully, if I can receive the passwords by the end of the day I will gen this tonight.

regards,
donjon

Donjon has gone home 4 the day.

Joseph (Leonnatus) has supplied his PW to Donjon but the mismatched PWs (Lefnufrag/Antipater II & Crappicus/Olympias) are still outstanding
