maybe we, the new players should start making journal entries and have our mentors post their comments on journal entries.

Yeah I like that idea - we could use the stars! notebook - you can add a log to that and everything (then you get built in pictures Very Happy

Unfortunately, no. We're just waiting for the last race file before generating the game.

If it's a beginner game you're looking for I could post a new one but I'm not sure if I would find coaches as we have in this one.

Are there any more beginners looking for a game?

Oops sorry oldmetalhead! You posted this while I was PMing you Razz

I guess in that case this topic needs locking!

I don't think it's normally locked until the game is actually up and running on Autohost. There's still potential for problems...

Oldmetalhead sent me his race file but forgot to give me his race password & email address.

Mentor/player Matchings
Since I am something of a political animal I like to avoid controversy where possible. Thus, pairings will be random.

So, unless someone has a better idea, I will PM a number 0-999 to the mentors & the players can email me a number (also 0-999). The player closest to my number gets the mentor who is first alphabetically, etc. & I will send emails to you all telling you the result. Mentors in alphabetical order are:
Joseph
Orange
Per
Shadow Whist
Soobie

I have current email addresses for Joseph, Orange & Per. I think I still have emails for Soobie & Shadow Whist but if you could give it to me again please so that I can be sure.

During the game mentors will receive automatically emailed turns along with their cadre.

Anytime now. I've given the number to the mentors.

Actually, PM would be better but if you want to email it use mcdonaldjk at bigpond dot com. Note that my email address has recently changed (new ISP).

Still waiting for oldmetalhead's race password, email address & number (0-999).

Also need a number from Airny.

I'm disappointed that this game has taken so long to get off the ground myself.
