nah don't worry about the save files for the time being, you can dig them out if your outbox later if we figure out something interesting to do with them

We should get a group of people to post in the thread daily for a bit and everyone who doesn't gently caress that up will be b team.

We could have four rounds of "just post anything" before the weekend, and then we'd be ahead of a team in no time.

honestly even before Glorgnole went to the effort of creating a thread and planning poo poo i was terrified of being the feckless idiot who would ruin the flow of a game due to my generally hosed up life but lol, even i'm logged-on enuff to do more than one turn a week.

perhaps im not as feckless as i previously thought :)

maybe start over w/ 5 turns a week instead of 1?

i have never heard of a pbem going that slow. the whole point of the 'e' is to be faster than correspondence chess.

oh huh so it's actually your turn now? cool!

e: it's OK if people take and send on their turns without posting, but making a post saying "hey i'm done" is a good way to hot-potato the everyone's anxiety and ire on to the next player (i.e. totally in your interests)

is it your turn or not

whose turn is it

i know i sent the save to cazlab and they said they'd do their turn on wednesday of last week

is it still cazlab's turn or is it sagebrush's turn

maybe cc'ing our savefiles to glorgnole on each move would be a good idea
