After listening to all the opinions on Automagic, I think we have 3 people
who are not particularly in favour of some aspect of Automagic, the rest of
players (off the list as well) seem to be in favour of it (at least 30
people have expressed very positive opinions so far).
We value feedback - it's been very useful and you have our thanks, we plan
to continue with the pricing structures we first outlined:
April 29th is the first date of the new charging system.
Turn costs then will be:
Automagic or MEOW turns: �3.90/US$5.80/AU$9.90
Non-automagic/MEOW turns: �4.50/$6.90/AU$12.50
(we'll charge Automagic turns at the rate above regardless if there are
problems from the incorrect formatting by players for a short period until
we feel that enough time has elapsed - not sure how long that is yet).
Updates should reduce in quantity - thanks for sticking with it.
We are using our automated MAIN program on certain games for which we get
enough Automagic turns per game to make it worth using it. At present we are
inputting by hand many of the automagic orders - around 15% of players are
using Automagic now. We expect that when we release MEOW, it will also be
quite popular and eventually we should be able to use MAIN on most to all
games.
I'd like to know MEOW... I use last week AotuMagic and I think is very
useful... I only want to know if I can cut and paste in e-mial the orders
that Automagic create or I have to send you the file that it create...
hugs,

If you use Automagic then it will create the file that you send in to us (attached). This is the format that we need. Don't cut and paste it - we then have to input the turn by hand. You can attach the file that automagic creates though and send that it - that's fine.

What may be kind of handy is listing the name of the current update
verion on the website with the download link. This way, we can check
in from time to time and see if a new version is available, rather
than read through all these posts and figure out if we have the most
current one or not!<S>
More two cents worth:
