Hello Everyone
*** Your XML and PDF will now be zipped up as one file and attached rather
than as two attachments. This should sort out most of the problems
associated with the AOL and similar servers - if not get back to us as we
need to know. Don't forget to use the LATEST version of AM - 2003e.2 - the
XMLs don't work with earlier versions. Note if you don't have access to an
unzipping program they are freely available via:
*** From this day henceforward...
Cheques must be made out to M.E. Games Ltd. Absolutely no variations
allowed.
Direct Payments need to be sent to:
sort-code: 089299
account number: 69174922
account name: M. E. Games Ltd
*** Okay we've just uploaded the Middle Earth mapping program, called
Palantir. It's available on our website, via the Library and Links page.
Please download the INSTRUCTIONS and READ them.. Standard PDF and nice to
read. 
Download Palantir as well and play with that.
Any questions - I've gone to lunch... (Seriously please read the
instructions first, we've tried to cover everything there and they are very
comprehensive and hopefully helpful). If after reading them and maybe
chatting to a few players (or on the MEList or MEForum) you can't get it to
work get in touch with us.
*** Okay as a reminder.
We'll send on a turn to a team-mate - please tell us before hand so that we
reduce our admin. (Player and game is fine - we can do the rest - you don't
need to change your email or anything like that). One turn is not a lot of
work, but when you run 8 games a day, and say one player per game per day
with all the other bits we have to do it builds up to be a considerable part
of our non-game administration. This is free of charge.
We'll reprint a turn on the day of processing - that costs you though.
�2.00 or $3.00 for that. If you want that option tell us when you email us
as otherwise I'll assume you'll be happy to wait. (Generally the email is
on its way to you and us reprinting it won't get it to you any faster - or
often email addresses are often full or non-valid for some reason).
We'll reprint a turn on the day after processing - that costs you nothing -
just email us the day AFTER.
Hope that helps clear up any misunderstandings.
The following new games are filling up.
1650 2wk [Game 6]: Gunboat 2 nation game: 1 duo out of 12 available.
[14/10/03]
1650 2wk [Game 7]: 21 nations available.[19/10/03]
2950 2wk [Game 233]: 16 nation available. (29/9/03)
1000 2wk [Game 40]: 11 nations available - 2 DS 6 N 6 F taken [11/8/03]
Grudge Games we need opposition for:
1000: Scott Baltes (12v13) - with regions and other snazzy rules
2950: Chris M (10)
1650: Jesus Alonso (12 - some players doubled up)
Setting up in a game:
When I get all 25 nations into the game I will allocate you your choice of
nation from the list of nations that you have sent me - please send multiple
nation choices as this helps to get everyone their 1st or 2nd choices - if
too many choose only 1 nation the system falls apart. All nations are
potentially available until I set up the game.
Descriptions of the type of game follow - please check this when contacting
me with regards playing in that game. When joining with allies please tell
me so that I can help out. You cannot join 1650/2950 games as Neutral with
an aligned or Neutral ally.
Up to 2 nation game: You can play one or two Aligned nations, or one Neutral
nation.
2 nation game: You must play two nations.
Note please ask for variant games we can try to get you opposition for them
if you are interested - mostly Grudge teams though - if I get 10 players for
any single type of game then I will put it up for general availability below
and push it, always check the rules for variant games;
I have drop-outs available - don't forget you get a free turn for taking
these up...
E [Early] = 0-10 turn, M [Midgame]= 11-20, L [Late game] = 21+ [A= Aligned
if a Neutral, N= not aligned if a Neutral, P = Postal and Email game, G=
Grudge, 1w = 1week game, 3w = 3week game]
Bofa: None
1000: Neutral (e)
2950: None
1650: Cor (e), Rhud (e)
Gunboat: 1 nation in a 2nation 1650 game (other dead), 1 duo of nations 2950
(Please note past turns for all these nations are available) Ask for
specifics on what is available.
Thanks
Clint
