Spanish Bombs Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 Replacement List: I'm sending emails to the following: jbertles, Platonov Slaw Reg Nestor Levitacus John Osborne MG42 Vorishilov hartmn herrbixx stevebalance Enqvist sandy AC marc420 BigMik1 regarding the Replacements process. If any of you do not receive it, please email me. In the next couple of days I'll be setting the list. The intention is to use the running ROW threads to keep track of the need for replacements, and who is on-deck from the list. If anybody ever has any questions, please email me. The goal is for replacements to step in as quickly as possbile to kick-start stalled games. I am also aware that there is a small number of vets who, through varying degrees of Real Life and knuckleheadedness missed the signup period. I will email them offline in the near future regarding where they would stand on the list, although those that signed up but missed the cut will be first. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AC Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 Sigh. I really hoped I'd make it :/ What chances do us newbies have in entering the ROW tournees in the future? Or would anyone be willing to run a newbie tournee? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingfish Posted February 9, 2004 Author Share Posted February 9, 2004 Originally posted by AC: What chances do us newbies have in entering the ROW tournees in the future? Out of the 72 players who made the cut, I count 30 who are newbies. Oh, and thats not counting the ones who will make it in as replacements, which BTW one already has. Seems to me the chances are pretty good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H Great work, I know the magazine and it is really a very detailed and accurate magazine. But quit expensive in the Netherlands. So as a real Dutch I will try to get it for free 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertram Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 Thanks for the endorsement Winecape. Don't think it will help, but it is good for the morale . Maybe I should stop drinking French and German wines, and take up Afrikaner ones? Bertram 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holien Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 Warning on File Sizes I think people should be aware that if you have a Hotmail account you (or other free accounts) you might have a limit on file size that you can deal with. In my testing of a "Ground Breaking" scenario, I had a file size of 3Megs last night. Please ensure that your mail provider can deal with the size of the PBEM turns. This scenario is a not alone in having file sizes above 1Meg and that I know would blow my Hotmail account. I suggest you check your e-mail accounts and ensure that they work with these file sizes.

wadepm Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 And remember, zipping these files does NOT make them smaller. I can't find the thread that discussed this right now, but I can say from experience that zipping does not make the attachment smaller, in fact it makes it slightly larger! You can break the file up into pieces if you are having problems, but that can get old in a hurry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked at the file sizes on my computer and zipped files were about 75% the size of unzipped files. When you attach a zipped file to an email, does this increase the size of the file versus a regular text file? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the ends it can be made smaller, especially by the mail services. I know yahoo charged me by actual size of attachment, not by the base-64 encoded size (which is why they are larger). In any event, for those of you in need, I can offer folks email addresses @3dwargamer.net. Email me at wwb@3dwargamer.net with desired login name and password.

Holien Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 Enoch, there was a big discussion about this some time ago and it was agreed then that Zipping did Zip. I am sure some expert will come along and explain why. H 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt CDAT Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 Man what a punishment for not checking the board more often. I have sent a email to Spanish Bombs to be a replacement. Good luck to those from my old section (Nolloff, Wellsonian) I am sorry I missed out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wadepm Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 I have never had a problem with corrupted unzipped files. Which mail systems are you talking about? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malakovski 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? He means mail servers along the way, between you and your destination. Plain text attachments almost always work for me, but I have one opponent who cannot get txt files from me for some reason. The message shows up on his end with no attachment. So I zip files for that game. It depends on your ISP and, apparently, the "path" the message takes to get to your opponent. It's completely out of the user's hands. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spanish Bombs Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 Replacement List Update: On Deck: Platonov In the hole: Slawreg I have yet to hear from hartmn, stevebalance and marc420 regarding their willingness or desire to be on the list. If they are still interested, then they need to contact me in the next day, or else I'll assume they are out. Full list to come later this week. jbertles already got his marching orders, so the list has shrunk even before the tourney starts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingfish Posted February 11, 2004 Author Share Posted February 11, 2004 Is there anyone still waiting on a reply from a member of your section? Hopefully everyone either responded or has been accounted for. If not, now is the time to let us know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 Kingfish, I've heard from all five of my Group 2, Section 1 confreres. Will get my replies back to them either tonight or tomorrow. Regards, John Kettler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wadepm Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 Everyone has checked in from Group 3, Section 4 - "The Last of the Last." No trash talking...yet. But that is to be expected from "gentlemen" such as ourselves! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Kulin Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 Group 1 - Section 1 is still waiting to hear from Redwolf (at least myself and Jbertles are) It's okay now - he lives!
