ShadowKitsune Posted December 19, 2003 Report Share Posted December 19, 2003 If you thought that Santa's gift was nice, how would you like to find out that the 'powers that be' are even intending to process our next game turn on New Year's Day! How's them apples? So that's a big thank you from all of us! A really BIG Thank You ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternusIV Posted December 19, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2003 Makes sense from an accounting standpoint Awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WKE235 Posted December 20, 2003 Report Share Posted December 20, 2003 Processed on new-years day? That would mean the turns are due on new year's eve. That will be an interesting time trying to complete the turns. Gee Pete, I'm sure that I did NOT put in that order to dismantle all of my IC's and build temples, even if I included a note that said it was done so I could properly worship the ancients gods of wine and spirits. . And why are you yelling over the phone?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hobknob Posted December 20, 2003 Report Share Posted December 20, 2003 Russ/Pete Are you currently having problems with your ISP? I remember that turns used to come out much faster once they got started. I could usually get all of my positions turn results within 30-45 minutes. Now I get a data filehours ahead of the first turn results and then it takes hours to get the last turn. It really is "cruel and unusual punishment" to have the datafile show up hours ahead of the turns and then have the turns trickle in so slowly.

RTGRuss Posted December 20, 2003 Report Share Posted December 20, 2003 ISP problems are the root of it A while back they instituted some anti-spam safeguards - we are literally prevented from sending out emails quickly (it blocks our sending program if we send too many emails in a given time frame - crashing the program thank you very much). Our discussions with their tech support were a waste of time so we had to build in a timed delay in our sending software to slow it down. We adjusted our procedures a bit by sending out the data files and the PDF files simultaneously (Pete does one, I do the other) but it is still an hours long process. Pete starts the data files first (the longest run) then brings the PDF files to me which is why you tend to see one starting to arrive before the other. Frustrating on this end as well - we are continuing to look into some possibilties so hopefully we can find a solution that speeds it up.

woolfe99 Posted January 1, 2004 Report Share Posted January 1, 2004 Did Pete say he was actually processing turns on New Years day? I seem to recall someone saying something to that effect... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
octagon999 Posted January 2, 2004 Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 Any hints on when to expect delivery of turns? I have the option of going to work or staying home tomorrow and if turns are coming in during the day, I would just as soon go to work and work on my turns.

RTGPete Posted January 2, 2004 Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 Orders are processing even as I type this....it will take most of the night to finish; I'll run the printouts tomorrow morning and start emailing them as soon as that finishes (takes a few hours to generate the results).
