Cheers Swordsmaster, that sounds good to me

P.S. Don't let RTW get in the way of college. You may only get 1 chance at college and you will always have RTW

I´m not really a perfect student, but sometimes there´s no choice but to get down'n'dirty . Specially after a really non-productive break.

Hey Umeu,

There's really no rush in a Play By Mail campaign. So chill down a bit. A lot of our players aren't even finished with their stories. Just look at TL's story. Mine as well (even with a the 3rd edit still needs touch-ups).

Actually, I'm waiting for you to start your story: "The Last Empire". Post the first episode first so I can comment on it.

[Tricky Lady]

OOOPS.

Thanks for the (without any doubt unwanted) hint, Quietus!

I do know I still have some images placed *somewhere* on my hard disk. Gotta find them, and finish my story (ahem).

o already posted the first episode. but i'm not really mad, but my dad thought he was funny and disabled me as administrator of my own PC. and for the PBM you need a fresh install. he also thought he was funny and took all my cd's. so i installed a workaround, he couldn't handle that i was being smarter than he so he did that. now i can't mod my game anymore and can't install the downloaded 1.2 patch (as zip file). because some files are systemfiles and you need to be a admin to do that

[Craterus]

If you know the password to his account, you can switch yourself back to admin. That's what I did ;-)

[The Stranger]

yeah, if. but i don't know it. but i told it to put it back so i'll be able too play tonight

[Quietus]

OOOPS.

LOL. Sorry, I wasn't hinting at all! LOL. Although I admit, I'd like to see the story finished.

ps: Simon's not finished too. I haven't read SwordsMaster's yet since I want to start from you down to the very bottom.

I see. I've read what I thought was just a short preview so I guess that's the first episode.

[The Stranger]

no not the first episode, i'm writing a book so it's the first of 3 short previews of the book. 3 different times in the book. it will take a while befre i preview the 2nd part so feel free to comment

[cunobelinus]

i would like a turn on this game if somebody would pass it on wen there done

[econ21]

ps: Simon's not finished too.

OK, thanks for the prompting - I've finished it now. Unfortunately, any literary inspiration abandoned me but at least it fills in some of the blanks. It may be harder to write up RTW PBMs than those for MTW. As well as not seeing a reign through, it may be a case of information overload - too many battles, events, traits etc.

[Craterus]

Keep a handy notebook to jot down any events you'll need for the write-up..

[The Stranger]

i think i'll be finished next week

[econ21]

I did - that's the information overload I was referring to. I played 12 years and made six A4 sides of densely written notes. Perhaps not surprising given that I fought 72 battles, almost all manually. In 12 years of MTW, I think you'd tend to fight a lot less than that.

[Tricky Lady]

Wow! Six A4's!
I barely fill one A5 side, as I tend to keep on playing, thinking "okay I'll write that down in a second, first I move this diplomat, oh yes, there's still a spy up north that needs to be replaced...-hmm where shall I send this new family member to?" I just forget to write down a lot
Not to mention the many times that I lost such an A5 in the mess on my desk

[SwordsMaster]

It took me 3 and a half A4s for my archives, and that is because I had reached my 10 provs maximum and just concentrated on building and upgrading stuff for the last 3-4 years of my reign....

[Quietus]

Hmmm. I only jotted down six things: "Reforms", "Reunification", "Damme->Batavorium", "Crushes Meriadoc", "Segestes Vesantio".

I have saved games though to crib some names and refresh the memory, not to mention the screenshots.

[Tricky Lady]

Quick question.

Is anybody picking up this game (or did anyone download the game)?

If not, then I'll have a go again.

Problem: I cannot access the PBM download page, so can the one who played last (YAKOBU or Emperor Umeu??), please e-mail the savegame to tricky_lady at scarlet dot be. Please mention your forum name and "Germania PBM" in the subject box or the mail will be deleted

[YAKOBU]

Hi Tricky Lady

My sentiments exactly. I'm getting a little tired of everyone wanting to join a PBEM and then the PBEM dying a death as people disappear. It's getting to the point where I consider only letting well established members join as they are more reliable. If people are having problems completing their turn all they have to do is inform the rest of the group via the PBEM thread. No news is usually bad news as they say.



P.S. Apologies if I sound like I'm on a crusade but I've just had a run in with my 5 year old son and may have lost .

[Craterus]

Have you finished this PBM yet? Otherwise, I'd be happy to play a reign..

[Tricky Lady]

I'd say: go for it. As far as I know, this PBM is not over yet. It should be "almost" ready though. I believe that you can finish this game. I counted 39 or 40 provinces at YAKOBU's last screenshot, so if you can conquer 10 provinces you can finish the PBM.

I am not sure if the savegame can be found on the PBM download page. YAKOBU?

[YAKOBU]

I have the zipped file if anyone wants it

[Tricky Lady]

Craterus will play the next reign; I'll play another turn after him if he doesn't finish the game.

Cheers,
Tricky Lady

[Craterus]

It's pretty late now in England.. You mind if I do it tomorrow morning? I been playing Scythia for the last 1hr30min, I would have done this if I'd of known. Sorry. What level are you playing on? Anything I should be aware of before I take over?

[Tricky Lady]

Settings of the game: Normal battles - Normal campaign - Large unit settings.

For more "info" about the game see YAKOBU's last post in the write-up thread (that's this post).

Don't feel obliged to finish the game today. I would already be glad if you could just finish this game.

[Quietus]

I think it is Emperor Umeu 1's turn isn't it? He's supposed to be playing IIRC.

Umeu, are you still playing?

[YAKOBU]

You are right Quietus but he has not given any indication if he is still playing his reign. He has been on the site as he has posted in my other thread. I will drop him a PM to check what the situation is.

[Craterus]

I'll wait before I take over then. OK, PM me if/when it's my turn.

[YAKOBU]

Hi Craterus

Emperor Umeu 1 has responded to my PM and cannot continue. PM me with your e-mail address and I will e-mail you the zip file.

[Craterus]

I'll download from the thing..
Or how do I get it from email, I can't paly right now, my sister is pushing me off computer.
