John Kettler Posted November 29, 2002 Share Posted November 29, 2002 Boris, I found your turn in my AOL Inbox and have responded. Regards, John Kettler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted November 29, 2002 Share Posted November 29, 2002 Boris, Turn 41's headed your way. Treeburst155 and troops, Ran some additional tests and found that whatever's going on is consistent regardless of phone or fax line and isn't affected by available phone locations downstairs and upstairs. The error message remained the same throughout. No turns from anyone other than Boris. Guess the Finns (Tero) celebrate Thanksgiving too. I forget where Fate lives.

Fate Posted November 30, 2002 Share Posted November 30, 2002 Canada John, where our thanksgiving is a bit different as the natives made the 1st european vistors a little less welcome at L'Anse-aux-Meadows than down in the states. No move received from you. [ November 29, 2002, 11:37 PM: Message edited by: Fate ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick_Oz Posted November 30, 2002 Share Posted November 30, 2002 All games finito! Congratulations to all the hard-working scenario designers for fashioning such a challenging mix of evil maps to test out our mettle. Mike, I do believe that all the finalists in my section have now completed the roster. Can we discuss the sheer villainy of these battles amongst ourselves? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treeburst155 Posted November 30, 2002 Author Share Posted November 30, 2002 If you're sure your group is finished you may discuss the scenarios WITHIN your group. I have quite a few game results in now that I need to process. I'll be honoring the requests for scoresheets that I have on file after I record these latest results. This will happen tomorrow evening with any luck. If you're finished, and you want a scoresheet just email me so I can simply reply with an attachment. Thanks!

Kanonier Reichmann Posted November 30, 2002 Share Posted November 30, 2002 Yes, all games now complete in out ROW II Section 2 area. Thanks to Treeburst and the scenario designers for a, shall we say, challenging series of scenario's. I guess this means I'll have to do some of those dreaded AAR's now. Also, thanks very much to my opponents in these games, they were always very hard fought and always taxing on the ol' grey matter.

John Kettler Posted November 30, 2002 Share Posted November 30, 2002 I have good news and bad news. The good news is that I have Boris's latest turn. The bad news is that I can't open it because the CD drive has again cloaked itself and isn't being read in spite of every trick I can conjure up. Too bad I was brain dead and forgot to make a disk img of the CMBO CD when the drive registered properly! Apparently, too, at least one of the the turns I sent out to my nonBoris foes didn't get through either. Sigh.

John Kettler Posted November 30, 2002 Share Posted November 30, 2002 Guess what? Netscape's returned, joined a short time later by the CD drive. This allowed me to watch the newest turn (high pucker factor) from Boris and issue orders. Netscape still won't send E-mail, though, so the outbound turn went by AOL. Would some kind Mac soul please explain to me again how to make a disk image of the CMBO CD so that any further stealth mode events won't knock out my ability to play? Oops! Still need to resend turn to Fate. Have n idea as to whether Tero got his. Regards, John Kettler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fate Posted November 30, 2002 Share Posted November 30, 2002 John, go to applications (os 9), find Disk Copy, then just drag the cmbo cd icon onto it. Got your latest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Visom Posted December 1, 2002 Share Posted December 1, 2002 Finally finished Epron tonight. This should be the last game in the group. Did better than expected in two games and a bit worse in one, so I'm looking forward to the result file from TB. Many thanks to TB for hosting, WineCape for sponsoring and all my opponents for good games and always returning files quickly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treeburst155 Posted December 1, 2002 Author Share Posted December 1, 2002 As of now I show 36 of 66 games completed. I have prepared a scoresheet to send out to those who have finished. If you have finished, and you want a scoresheet, email me so I can simply reply and attach. All of the prize eligible players have finished their games. For this reason, I am going to score the tourney on December 15th or so. By then I will have enough instances of each scenario completed (15 or more)to get a good median. This does not mean that you HAVE to finish by December 15th. It just means that I would LIKE you to finish by then. If you don't make it, your scores will not be used to determine scenario balance. No big deal, as long as I have 15 or so completed scenarios for that purpose. I don't want to keep the prize eligible players waiting any longer than necessary, since they are all done. Fight On!!

Visom Posted December 1, 2002 Share Posted December 1, 2002 TB, got the scoresheet, but 2 of my results are missing from the 36 in the list (Emilville and Epron). Let me know if I need to resend them, Emilville was finished a few weeks ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted December 1, 2002 Share Posted December 1, 2002 Was effectively gone all day and most of the night, but I nevertheless managed to receive turns from and respond to Boris and Fate. I came off a distant second best against Boris in the movie and continue to blunder about in my battle against Fate, to whom thanks for the disk image procedure. Hope it's the same in OS 8.6 as what he outlined for OS 9. Tero, did you get the last turn I sent you? Treeburst155, I was heartened to see that I wasn't the only one who hadn't finished his games yet. Looks as though I'm far from alone there.

Treeburst155 Posted December 1, 2002 Author Share Posted December 1, 2002 Visom, I now have your missing scores. Jim Liang sent one and you sent the other. Thanks! Fight On!! Treeburst155 out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted December 2, 2002 Share Posted December 2, 2002 Tero's returned--with a bang! Replied to him and Boris and Fate, who were kind enough to send turns also. Tero and I are about a third done; the Boris and Fate games are each halfway finished. Regards, John Kettler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanonier Reichmann Posted December 2, 2002 Share Posted December 2, 2002 So John. What have you done differently to get your system more reliable? Regards Jim R. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted December 2, 2002 Share Posted December 2, 2002 Received and replied to another round of turns from my foes. KR, the CD problem cleared through no intervention of mine, Netscape reads inbound E-mail only still, and all outbound turns and the like go by AOL when it works. The situation is far from wonderful, but I am rolling turns. Tried and failed to locate the disk image utility; maybe OS 8.6 either lacks it or has it somewhere other than Applications.

mPisi Posted December 2, 2002 Share Posted December 2, 2002 It's going pretty well with White4 (I mean the email exchanges, not the battle. Oh yeah, let's run forwards into the BLANK under fire!).

John Kettler Posted December 3, 2002 Share Posted December 3, 2002 Had I more energy I might engage in a semantic debate, KR, but I believe that per American usage, the statement is correct as written. I, though, would dearly love to know why the British insist on using plural verbs with singular nouns, such as squadron, team, troop and the like, not to mention the use of personal pronouns in describing such entities. Have just replied to Boris with a turn from me. Regards, John Kettler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CombinedArms Posted December 4, 2002 Share Posted December 4, 2002 Originally posted by White4: I have only gotten one file from him since early october.As per John Kettler, and White4, "gotten" is standard American usage. Cf. The American Heritage Dictionary: "gotten v. A past participle of get." As for the Queen's English, KR, some Aussies seem to have forgotten that Britannia no longer rules the waves--or the style books. H. L. Mencken proclaimed the emergence of The American Language in a book published in 1919, and we Yanks have continued to revel in our linguistic independence.
