Redwolf Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 Originally posted by wadepm: I have never had a problem with corrupted unzipped files. Which mail systems are you talking about? Microsoft exchange servers are often very disconfigured and scramble text by trying to convert the text. Examples are automic line re-breaking, charset conversions, conversion to quoted-printable etc. As long as you don't touch the MS trash at the server side or have a thinking admin on the echange server (rare combination) you should be fine and can save the transfer volume by not zipping the moves. Personally I want the stuff unzipped because I have PBEM moves processed partly automatically and I don't want to teach it to recognize random forms of compression and binary attachment handling. Also, there are spamfilter which are braindead enough to just look for keywords. In a text file with megabytes of "random" ascii chars you are guaranteed you accidentially produce some of the no-words. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaws Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 Group 2 Section IV complete. Seems Ted had no contact with Karnak. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 No that wasn’t me. Karnak and I have contacted each other. I think it was Roger Travis that’s looking for confirmation. I’m innocent I tell ya. (and ready to go) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redwolf Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 It would be very nice if people were careful to either use an email address which has a direct visible connection to the nickname. Failing that, you should always mention your nickname in every mail. Remember we play for months, even connections I mentally established now I will have swapped out by May. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richie Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 ... you mean kinda like... Richie, or... Michael Dorosh... By the way, do you really cross your fingers and hope for the best? I always thought someone with thirteen thousand, one hundred and sixty seven posts up would have it all sussed out. That really is kind of scarey... No really :eek: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anybody has a question about this, drop me an email off line. Everybody on the list should keep an eye on the thread as this thing gets going. Are the scenarios small-med-large-huge or all of the above?They will vary, but you need to be ready to play large scenarios. See above if this is an issue for your email. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingfish Posted February 13, 2004 Author Share Posted February 13, 2004 Update time, so gather 'round... All that is left to do is prep the scenarios and begin sending out setup files. Given the large number of e-mails involved I may start the tourney early, perhaps even as early as tonight. This will lighten my load up considerably. Depending on which side you play you will receive one of two different e-mails for each first round scenario. If you are the axis player you will get the following: Setup file w/ axis password Overall briefing Axis briefing Name & e-mail address of your opponent If you are the allied player you will get the following: Allied password Overall briefing Allied Briefing Name & e-mail address of your opponent The German player will begin the match by opening up the scenario w/ his PW, setting up his forces, and sending the file to his opponent. From this point on the game progresses just like any normal pbem game. Its totally up to you and your opponent if you want to proceed via TCP/IP. However, keep in mind that we have a 120 day deadline, so if you burn through your games quickly you will be waiting a while afterwards. ***very important*** Please use the passwords that have been chosen. This will ensure that a replacement player can take over in the event you need to withdraw from the tourney. Also, remember that once the tourney begins we are in a EFOW lockdown, so no mention at all of any FOW sensitive material, either here or via e-mail. If you need to discuss something that may contain spoiler info you can e-mail me, Holien or Spanish Bombs directly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingfish Posted February 13, 2004 Author Share Posted February 13, 2004 120 day deadline for the regular tourney. A couple of days or more to get all the scores in, verify, calculate, award bonus points for AARs, announce first round winners, launch finals, 60 day deadline for finals...... I say somewhere between June/August. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve McClaire Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 Originally posted by Kingfish: Please 'splain [/QB]You can send out saved games with the passwords already entered and still have both sides able to do their setup - this is standard practice in CMMC and I've done it many times. 1) Tournament save the scenario. 2) Start the scenario as if you were going to play it hotseat. 3) Enter first player password. 4) Hit 'Go'. 5) Enter second player password. 6) DO NOT hit 'Go'. Instead, hit 'Alt-S' and save the game. Send out this saved game file to the SECOND player. Now both players must use the passwords you've already enetered, and both still get to do setup.
