Yaba Posted June 12, 2002 Share Posted June 12, 2002 Ok -- don't know if this has ever happend to anyone else but I thought I would put it out there... I am in a PBEM game and had a double turn of sorts. I recieved a turn where I watched and then planned (the 5th turn and planning for the 6th). I zipped up the e-mail and sent it back to my opponent who then planned his turn (6th). He then zipped up his turn and sent it back to me -- to my suprise it was just a planner for the 6th turn. I have the files saved so it is not a matter of re-numbering -- I reviewed my watcher/planner and compared it to my planner (both for the 6th turn). The orders were exactly the same as after I had adjusted my watcher/planner move! Just wondering if anyone else has ever had this happen to them. Cheers, Yaba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Beman Posted June 12, 2002 Share Posted June 12, 2002 I don't recall an incided worded identically to yours, but there have been a handful of odd events in a PBEM game. Mostly they consist each player seeing a markedly different movie file; eg one player will see an enemy tank explode in plain sight of his troops, while the other player sees his tank motor up in a different direction and not get blown up. Next turn, one player is very surprised as (respectively) the "blown up" tank magically re-appears and causes havoc, or the tank suddenly appears as a lifeless hulk on the battlefield.

Yaba Posted June 13, 2002 Author Share Posted June 13, 2002 Yup -- that would be a strange one. Never had it happen before. I guess if that could happen then it is possible that the game could make a mistake and lose track of the order of planning. Still, I am wondering if anyone else has had this happen to them.

Yowie Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 Talking about oddities in PBEM... recently when I fired up a QB PBEM, CM prompted me that Reinforcements have arrived... ?? And of course, I didn't get any reinforcement since its a QB. Donno how it happened. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DjBYou didnt by chance NOT have a password for this game? If so your opponent could have redone the tturn, thereby getting differetn results.

Doug Beman Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 I didn't experience this first hand; I'm passing along somebody else's account. But yeah, that could happen. DjB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtweasle Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 I had something simaler happen a long time ago. I forget now who I was playing, but it happend in two differnet games! The first one I thought it just some sort of glitch with a damaged file. The second time I asked the guy about it and he said he did'nt notice anything... Well I completed the game but never played him again and have not had it happen since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
