Hello Everyone
25/4
UK Game: We're now planning a Cardiff game July26 (Fri) - 28th (Sun) 24
confirmed (plus 2 standby GMs). For those that that can't make the Friday
it's fine to have turns run by someone else for the Friday. (Start early
Friday afternoon).
US Game: Now cancelled - we'll try to get something else sorted - maybe a
cross-atlantic challenge match? If you are interested then please get in
touch.
10/4 After listening to all the opinions on Automagic: and MEOW
Thank you for your feedback it's been very useful and you have our thanks,
we plan to continue with the pricing structures we first outlined (dependent
on MEOW being available and tested):
April 29th is the first date (provisional on MEOW being up and running) 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.
The following new games are filling up.
Waiting List: 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.
Upto 2 nation game: You can play one or two Aligned nations, or one Neutral
nation.
Bofa: [Game 4] 2wk turnaround game - Veteran or Beginners game - (Vet: ALL
1650 orders available): All nations available.
