email delays

Humm. Is it coincidence or what? After almost a year of my ME turns arriving, like clockwork, before 10 AM, it is now afternoon and no ME turn. If the problem is widespread then it can not rest with the players and thier local servers.

Hey Brad,

We had a guy miss a turn too . . despite sending it in 6 times and well
ahead of due time! Very annoying.

I've communicated this issue before and have been not only
told that there are always odd internet issues around the world,
but that there can always be other game related reasons for
turns being delayed.

My pdf's usually arrive by a certain time, but 1/7 or so don't.
I know for a fact that they will hold off games to the very last
minute if orders are missing - well beyond the 9am cutoff they
like to advertise. I woke up one morning to realize that I didn't
get my orders in and sent them off at first possible time. The
company held that particular turn and sent it out, with my orders
processed, almost immediately thereafter....many hours after
usual.

Give them a couple hours after the business day over there. I've
only once had a turn go missing...that's hundreds of hundreds of
turns. Frustrating for some of us no-life freaks... :wink:
