Rather call it the 'semicolon bug' or the way Windows treats separators differently depending on where in the world you live.
Al, when I had the 'bug' for the first time (not lately when also DEF was affected) I'm quite sure someone had already told me earlier to change the comma into a fullstop. How would decimals affect POP which is integral?

I suppose Seth had a fullstop set as the separator all the time and he still encountered the problem.

Gah sunuffagrowlagriminyhofnaslahhhh...

I was sure I had made checks every now and then with the POP details and player bits and pieces... I know I did when I re-ran the turns...

I have been running turns on an XP machine lately, rather than a WIN2000, so that would have made changes...

Ok Al, how do I fix this?

I will re-run this turn in the weekend and get new turns out to everyone asap, but will keep the same deadline, as there should not be too many changes... But feel free to complain and ask for extensions anyway :wink:

Sorry about this, I would have thought it would have been picked up much earlier... weird, cos I do check the Player Data section every turn... Hmm...

How to fix this...

Post by Nestalawe » Sat Nov 01, 2003 6:00 pm

I have been trying to track down where Al noted how to fix this dangnabbit POP thing, can someone point me in the right direction?

Time to go back to sleep?

Nice job, GM Toby. It looks like you figured out the POP problem since the last 2 turn reports are A-OK. Of course the contents of those two turn reports are of little use to Lard Master and Raw.

Having sent raw to the Gatekeeper (we all should know who that is) what am I going to do with the rest of these losers? Two brothers from Vayuna and a couple of somnambulists. One or two of them may make a worthy ally for the end game, but they need to show me something first.

I think I will just sit here and watch them play "Ring-around-Bjorn" for awhile.

Too bad that my part of the "Ring" will require removing the purple colored tiles from the map! :shock:

Then the light blue....... :?

Then the orange.......... :cry:

Ha!Ha!Ha!

AF
See what happens when you cut classes? AF signs up for a class called "How to win friends and influence people", then skips the first part of the class.

Maybe he has a problem with the letter 'r'? "How to win fiends and influence people?" I wonder how many people would sign up for that one?

Oh, I'll show you something all right Bjorn. I'll show you the sharp end of my sword after I'm done putting these guys down south to sleep for good. :ukliam2:

Nice one Bjorn, but you do know that it's not the size that matters, it is the way you swing it. ;)

This just in........

~ Order [11][1][4][3333]
#<1> Massielita - The Spycode you entered is too low.
#<2> Allister Fiend - The Spycode you entered is too high.
#<3> Lord Fredo - The Spycode you entered is too low.
#<5> Funtastick - The Spycode you entered is too low.

~ Order [11][2][4][6666]
#<1> Massielita - The Spycode you entered is too low.
#<2> Allister Fiend - The Spycode you entered is too high.
#<3> Lord Fredo - The Spycode you entered is too low.
#<5> Funtastick - The Spycode you entered is too low.

I guess I will run 1666 and (just so AF doesn't feel I'm ignoring him) 8332.

If I'm getting close you better change your code.

1666 is just as close as 1664. :shock:

It doesn't matter, Fredo doesn't stand a chance against what I got in store. :twisted:

I took what was left from the MAZE game and moved them to Nestaria for the winter months.

Get my drift? :lol:

Let's see....

500 divided by 2 = 250 :?

250 times 1.3 = 325 :?

So it will take me 325 GCA's to destroy those 500 GCA's you have. :lol:

No Problem... no problem at all. :wink:

Consider them all duds Fredo. :D

Hmm... do you know something I don't...? You are off course assuming that you go first in the OOP then... :roll:
Oh well, it could happened, but then again not that it matters much. Don't worry about it Allister. You will be taken care of one way or another. :shakin::

75+? That's it? I sure hope for your sake that there are a lot of +'s after those 75. :lol:

I have a funny feeling that those are some of your best troops. The others are just some el' cheapo's fresh off the press, unable to anything against my 75+ well trained, unstoppable mega-troops.

Ahh, one more turn of peace and then we see who put's their money where their mouth is. :wink:

I can't wait, whatcha say to allowing the attack to begin this turn?

I'm game, are you? :?:

And a funny feeling it must be indeed. :)

What's that? Allowing attacks on turn 16 when the NAP was supposed to end on turn 17? I don't think so Allister. I'm as much game as anyone but that would be kinda hard since I was moving to be ready one turn 17.

I didn't think you would be so anxious to go after I disposed of Lardmaster in 2 turns. We'll get there soon enough my friend and this way your friend Massie will get another chance finding some more troops so you'll know where not to go. :wink:

Shucks, I knew that wouldn't work.

I need to decide if I go with the full steam ahead approach or do I hold off and only send 1/2 of my troops which would be somewhere in the neighborhood of .... let's see...75 divide by 2 = uhm//two into seven is three, remainder of one...bring down the 5 makes fifteen... two into fifteen is seven remainde of one... bring down the point zero makes ten... two into ten is five...no remainder so the answer is 37.5 which round up to 38. :popcorn: :rockband: :pianoman:

I will use 38+ troops to attack you and keep the rest home for they won't be needed.
:smokingdevil:


See ya soon!
