Lizardgirl, I have already sent in my units.

Mark I agree with you of course for several reasons including but not limited to "because Shaw has the opposite point of view" and Simon Fox has been pissing people off on this board almost as long as I have. He had several memorable bouts with Fionn and (my favorite which I have told him before) when he basically told the entire board they were crybabies and the game will be out when it's out so everyone quit crying.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR> Ahhh Elvis, what turn number would that be. Was it "Youragameybatard" or the liting and haunting "Surethinglollipop" Hmmmmmm? <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> How bout the last one you played. The turn before that is not needed by me for us to continue forward in our game...only the most recent turn is needed. Thank you. Lizardboy, I am almost at the point of sendig the units selection blindly without seeing the map. My blood lust is boiling over.

Sounds like you're doing it right.

"Print screen" key and "paste" as a "Word" doc.

Since Markymark felcompelled to give updates I guess I should do the same. Lawyer: Too early to tell as there has been no contact with our units yet and sends files at a fairly slow speed. I think I have gotten him off of numbering for this game and am quite happy about it. jdmorse : A humdinger of a game. Loads of fun even if I lose but now that I have found his crying in the woods soon to be dead units I doubt that I will. We switched to taunting renaing filesa while ago which is just as bad as numbering files (begun by MarkIV and myself). I haven't goten a file from him in a couple of days so maybe he's busy (jd..last received from you 7/23 last sent to you 7/24). Lorak : We are playing a clown game that either Berli or Meeks made. We started it so long ago that I forget. Lots of my troops died last turn but that was doneto confuse you. Now I have you right where I think I want you in this silly affair. Mr. Lorak has sitched over to non-numbering and I thank him. LEON : Our neat little game should begood pratice for my uncoming Blood Hamster. Soon to be stripped of all your armor your infantry should fall quickly after that. Started without numbering and have continued that way. Lizardboy : I think I am waiting to see the map for our Blood Hamster. HAving never done one I am not sure if you see the map before selecting the unts. I have selected units already but thought I would wait to see if I get a peek at the map. We will not be numbering our files as my rule of engagement stands for any and all games I will ever play outside of CMMC. That's about it....Hey at least I didn't bring up numbring turns this time.

Wankers.

Yes.

Ths just in...... Elvis has lost a game..... That's right ..no need to adjust your monitors.. Stuka : Win in the most glorious of styles Elvis : Lose but went down fighting.

Anybody want to discuss numbering files some more?

Stuka, My gut feeling at this time is that the game will end in a draw. If it does you should count that as a victory for yourself. The TCP/IP thing was very frustrating because I play many many games that way and though I do have problems from time to time I don't have the problem we had last night. When a game is played straight through via TCP/IP there is nothing like it. And did I mention that I don't understand why everyone feels the need to number turns?

Seanachai, can't you make your posts shorter? I can't read all that gibberish..perhaps if you numbered it.

David...perhaps English was not studied in my childhood home as much as math..does that make me a freak!!! Wildman ..go ahead send me a setup..just rmemeber not to number. Emma You have always been sweet and funny and nice and I would number a game with you.

Mace and Aitkin you both miss the point completely and have proven yourselves idiots again. Not only do I love numbers (my father is a mathematician.... no he really is a college professor) so it isn't the numbers you slackjaws.

DekeFentle...mensh...can we please get back to talking about numbering turns.

Oh yeah I almost forgot. Wildman has the strongest grasp on my dementia.

I will chose the Allies. I am sure Lizardboy will have no problem with this. He seems to prefer being German in his games against me. Now back to the issue that is really important to me. The useless numbering of files. First, my issue is not that I can't number or figure out the system you use. I understand the systems perfectly well. I just don't understand why there needs to be a system. My issues are with cluttered PBEM files and having to spend time deleting the files every week or two. Files that don't need to be there in the first place. Mr. 5308 if it nessesary for you to number files in order for your PBEM program to work then you are the first person to provide a good reason for numbering (however if it was me I would check out the one that Hiram/Phillygirl used because that wasn't needed so it might be a better program). Aside from that not a single one of you can provide a single good reason for the cluttering so I am going to assume you are all in agreement with me and my logic finally got through your numb skulls. This issue will never die with me.

How isthe construction of my Blood Hamster match with Lizardboy going? I haven't heard a word since I agreed.

Mark4 another follower. Sad. I thought you at least had a mind of your own.

I accept the challenge from Lizardboy. I have never done one of these somebody else sets up the game thingies so you will have to hold my hand through the process as I am a very dim and thick-headed person. I do wonder why you are the throwing down the gauntlet because we ave played many many games and think you only numbered turns in the last one we played. There will be no numbering of turns in this gae we are about to play. I still stand by my no numbering rule for games vs Elvis. The first email I send to you I will remind you that if there is numbering then there is no game. If the turn sent after that email is numbered itwill never be responded to. I will act as if we never set up a game. I will not return the file or even acknowledge that I am not returning the file...you will receive dead air. This is not open to debate with anyone I ever play again (with the exception of CMMC battles)

Mr. 5308, If your PBEM helper makes you number your turns then what does it do for you? Doesn't sound like a very useful tool. I know HIrams didn't make him do that because we played games and the files weren't numbered. I will have him contact you so you can check out the one he used.

Organ ..or should I call you Mr. 5308 come lately. What are you talking about.

Wankers.

Stuka, Think man think...use your head all of you. If you just take a minute and think you will avoid bad reasons to number..like the one you have just given. In your example it would take 4 emails to get back to gaming...without numbering it takes two. Stukas way: email #1 where's my file email #2 I sent you file #51 3 days ago email #3 The last I have is #50 email #4 Ok here is #51 again. Elvis way: email #1 Where's my file receiveing player checks game file and finds he has played it and it is asking for opponants password or finds he hasn't and proceeds to play the file. email #2 Here ya go. 2 emails and everyone is back to gaming faster. Think people please...I have thought this through from every angle. Stop being comformists you pathetic war game geeks.

Organ, I don't see how numbering ensures that you send a file. It only ensures that you numbered it not that you sent it. And Hiram/Phillygirl used a PBEM helper and his turns weren't numbered.I thoght that was the idea with the helper that it would keep track of whose turn it is.I guess you got the cheap version. Berli, I have played hundreds of games (as I'm sure you know) and have never had a corrupted file. So in my mind it is not with the clutter and deleting on the off chance that after almost 2 years of playing this I will get a corrupted file that my opponant does not have a good copy of or that I can't download a copy from my last incoming or outgoing email. Lizardboy, Drive space is currently not a problem...if it was I would not allow the lemmings who are currently sending numbered file to continue. Please send photos of above mentioned locales and a setup file. In closing for now (you know I can't just let this go) I have never had a problem with a PBEM that numbering turns would have prevented from happening.
